Denny Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm always a day late and a dollar short when discovering things, but since I haven't seen anything posted "recently," I will go out on a limb and point out that LOR has posted support documentation - user guides - for the CCB, CCF, etc in the support section, Showtime Accessories. http://www.lightorama.com/Documentation.htmlIf this is old news, I apologize.

jimswinder Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Per the User Guide...I guess this is a change from what they were originally going to do:The Cosmic Color Bulbs are two 50 LED lamp bulb strings that include a controller with a built-in power supplyWhere they were going to sell them as a single 50 ct string, but you COULD hook up two strings per controller, and also buy them as a set of two strings...or just one.I wonder if this also means that the two strings can go end to end instead of each one needing to be plugged in directly to the controller???

Don Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 We'd need to get confirmation on this, but I suspect that if you order a 50 count string, you get one string connected to a controller. If you order 2 50 count strings, you get two strings connected to the controller. (The 2 50 count strings would be connected as shown in the picture.)I don't think there is an option to connect the CCB's end to end to create a 100 count string.

jimswinder Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Looks like end to end CCB's might be doable in the future:Page 12 of the Manual:Number of end-to-end ribbons/stringsSets the number of end-to-end connected bulbstrings. This is not implemented at this time.1. The controller supports a maximum of 50physical pixels per bulb string. As bulbstrings are added end-to-end, adjacentpixels are combined to limit the number ofpixels to 50. E.g. for two bulb strings, aphysical pixel becomes 2 adjacent bulbs.2. A 2 amp 5 vdc power supply is required foreach additional bulb string. This is becausethe voltage drop is too great for more than50 bulbs and colors will be incorrect. Also,the CCB controller has power for a maximumof 100 bulbs (two 50-bulb strings.)3. The theoretical limit on the number of end-to endconnected bulb strings is 4.

jimswinder Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Alright!! and TWO bulb sizes!!!Detailed Bulb DescriptionA bulb string is 26.5 feet long, 24.5 feet of bulbs on6” centers and a 2 foot leader to the controller. TheC7 bulb bases and wires are green. The illuminatedpart of the C7 bulb is clear faceted plastic thatdiffuses the RGB LED in the bulb base.The cylindrical pixel bulbs are tubes of translucentplastic with a large RGB LED at one end. They aredesigned for sign construction.The following picture shows the relative bulb sizes.See page 6 for a picture!!Okay..I'm excited!! is it Christmas yet?!?!?!

mmaness Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It's too early to tell 100%, but it looks like there are not one, but two bulbs - C7 size and 12mm? I could be wrong, and frequently am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re on a boat with the forum post your post could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love. Look again, the tickets are now diamonds. Anything is possible when your post smells like my post. I'm on a horse!Yea so I'm bored! So what post do I need to look at to find the price on these? LolNow back to your post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what post do I need to look at to find the price on these? that hasn't been posted yet...at least for this year.Last year if I remember correctly it was going to be $149 for one 50ct string, (Plus controller) and $200 for 2 50 ct strings and controller...or free for one smelly oyster with a good sized pearl in it!!!

harrison0550 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hahaha@mmaness, just look at my post again and it will all make sense.@Jim, I really hope those prices have changed since when they were first coming out.@Jeff and Evan, Thank you sirs. I have my moments. LolDon't get me wrong I love my LOR boards and software but let's call a spade a spade. This is just a string of lights we are talking about here, $150 for a 24" string of pixels without a controller? If I spent $150+ on one string of lights my wife would punch me in my junk and kick a puppy at the same time.Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
