dito Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 i'm adding the monster quartet to my lightshow this year. almost all my other lights are LED. I know LED ropelight(every meter IIRC) can't be cut every 18" like incans can. Knowing how they are setup would you recommend or dissuade use of LED ropelight? i really dont mind taping up extra even though it "goes to waste". i'd rather have brighter lights. just wondering if someone/anyone has opinion on this...
ItsMeBobO Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Doesn't the coro from HC come with holes punched for incans or LEDs? I dont own any but I always presumed the holes were arranged to accommodate standard lights.. 50 100
WilliamS Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 They are punched for the lights already. You just shove them through. Standard Incan or M6 mini LED
dito Posted May 22, 2012 Author Posted May 22, 2012 sorry, i was unclear. i am going to be making my own...
Jerry Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 What will your maximum viewing distance be ? If your using rope lights, incan's should be plenty bright for faces and way less $$$.
dito Posted May 22, 2012 Author Posted May 22, 2012 i'm on a corner and people watch from 4-5 houses away. another reason i wanted LED was because all my other lights (mostly) are LED i have very few lights that are not LED...Jerry, how much footage ropelight did you use for your faces?
Jerry Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Hi dito, I purchased a 150' roll of 1/2" clear for the big one and have lots left over for repairs. He is about 7' square. I also purchased a 150'roll of 3/8" orange for the three small ones with some left over ,but not much. They are about 5' square. I didn't measure it all soo I can't give you a footage.Jerry
dito Posted May 22, 2012 Author Posted May 22, 2012 so, taking into consideration 150' for the 3 small ones @ 5' square = ~50ft each. great, thanks for the info!
