I followed the arch sleeves threads from PC above. The 10' white PVC is 1/2" and the black outer sleeves are 1". I was surprised that the 50ct worked as well. I had gotten some pure white 50ct LEDs cheap so I tested it as a prototype to see if it was acceptable, and it turned out better than expected. So completed all three arches the same. Here is the prototype test video: The floods/spots are from http://www.seasonalentertainmentllc.com/There is 1 Rainbow flood (v1) and 5 Rainbow Spots (two v1, and three v2). I am very pleased with them as well. Greg from SE is great to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current thought is two thirds of a CCB string in each arch with the CCBs inside dryer vent hose. Four CCB strings in six 11 foot arches covering about 45 to 50 total linear feet. No guarantee that it will work out that way, but that's the current thought.I did the math a while back and came to the same conclusion that if you are going to go with multi-color arches, CCDs (or some other RGB technology) is the way to go.

Are your arches 1 CCR each or 1 CCR for 2 Arches?I am planning to add CCR Arches this year and am curious about how you built your arches. Are you using PVC and zip ties?

Donald Magelssen Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Ha Ha ---this is the "real" double rainbow guy and I must say he must be v-e-r-y stonedhttp://youtu.be/OQSNhk5ICTIThe effects thst you can do with ccr's ROCKS !! I was going to buy more 16pc controlers and do arches that way, but lor was having supply problems and then you are stuck with big segments (8 channels) and 1 or 2 colors per arch and when ya add it up $$ well worth the extra money! my wizzards of winter sequence I did without superstar software (i did paste in a small section from superstar) gota say that the superstar software is great !!!! so to anyone thinking about adding arches go with ccr's !!!

PMC Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 it looks great, How many USB-485's are you using in your arches, I did see a couple of residual triggers. no big thing. I have 3 USB-485's on my 12 CCR matrix and I'm adding another one for 2012 for the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
