Seems there are as many types of RGB's as there are manufacturer's and the only thing that will "easily" integrate with LOR is the CCR's. From what I can tell, doing this is the "ultimate" DIY project.At least for this season I am taking a completely different approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caniac Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 will do, the RGB concept is great but too many options and soldering to make work. At some point when there is a standard means to control and a product well below the CCR price point then I will look at it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher2113 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 true true i dont need that many colors either and the programing will be unreal but it sure would look awesomeoh i did not think about how fragile they would beknowimg me i can break or damage anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james campbell Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I am doing 5 rgb spirals trees this year and have started getting some info. you can use a dumb rgb strip with the http://store.lightorama.com/cmdedcca2.html. 12 volt dc controller. you can control 5 strips with rgb. works inline with your other lor controllers. you will need a power supply have not decided what on I want yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
