spomalley 18 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 This is a good idea, instead of cluttering the forums with sale threads. Link to post Share on other sites

Tim Fischer 196 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I hate to be "Dr. Killjoy" but rather than speculate on it, I'm going to sit back and wait for Dan to announce it Link to post Share on other sites

Max-Paul 282 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Where's the sale? Who's got the sale? When's the sale? Got to get the sale! Aw come on, give me the Sale! Where's the sale? and so on and so on.Bet Dan is sitting back laughing at the antics going on about the sale. Link to post Share on other sites
jerrymac 77 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 i guess we will know via notice IF it happens. Last year there was no summer sale (except a couple of controllers). A sale is a sale and it up to LOR if and when they have a sale. Link to post Share on other sites
spomalley 18 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Last year there was a summer sale which was staggered over a month, offering a couple of products every week, also when the new PC controllers came out they were at a reduced introductory price Link to post Share on other sites
Denise Brunner 7 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Hey what are you guys complaining about...... the sale happened and as any woman would do, I was there and I bought everything!! So don't worry about it, it already happened and its all gone. LOL Link to post Share on other sites
Santas Helper 1,005 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 i guess we will know via notice IF it happens. Last year there was no summer sale (except a couple of controllers). A sale is a sale and it up to LOR if and when they have a sale.This is true. But it's also up to the company to advise if there is NOT a sale for respect to their loyal customers that are accustomed to the past history of sales (except for last year, which was a complete turn around from all those previous years). I am a devoted fan to LOR but I'm wondering if they've grown so big that they scramble to know what they have or will have to even have a sale. Last year showed that. Although it might have been due to a vendor problem, the same could be true for this year.Again, nothing against Dan or LOR. This is not a slam against them. But it's a new day versus a couple years ago. The bigger you get, the more complicated it can be, relying on other companies/vendors/contractors to come thru for a finished product.I will always purchase my lighting equipment from Dan and LOR because they provide great service and great products. But I won't hold my breath for a sale.Just my thoughts.Tom Link to post Share on other sites
logandc99 5 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question expecting people to foresee the future but I was wondering if in the past Summer Sales, they have had starter kits as part of the sale or is it for individual components only. Reason I ask is because I am keen to get into this Lightorama thing but haven't ordered a starter package yet and have been waiting for the much talked about Sale. However, I notice that the starter kits are somewhat reduced anyway in that the software is discounted as part of the package and so I wondered therefore whether they tended not to be part of the sale.

Therefore usually best to get a sale controller and add your own starter package.SPK-ST Generic Starter Packagehttp://store.lightorama.com/spk800.html Link to post Share on other sites

This is how I initially got started, I happened on the sale in July of 2008 and I bought a starter package. Have kept buying ever since. Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Creed 0 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 One of the above reply's talked about how great Dan's stuff is and may not need a sale, I completely agree with that statement, sure I don't mind spending a bit less on what I need, and yes, the better the discount the more pieces I'm likely to buy. What I really need though is to see the RGB Bulbs/Pixels at the online store, I've seen similar products elsewhere but, I really prefer to stick the native LOR networking and interface. I can, but I don't want to have to figure out dealing with a DMX interface. So please Dan, update your store so I can buy a couple of sets of your RGB Bulb.Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
logandc99 5 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 EdP,Thanks for that. Will try and hold out until the sale but finding the wait a little difficult. July is soon running out and Xmas is getting closer everyday and I'm expecting it to be a bit of a slow learning curve for me getting to grips with all this tech. So every day counts I guess especially if I want to have something up and running this year. I will try and be patient...... :-) Link to post Share on other sites
bgwyn 1 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I can't take it.....start the sale already. The March sale almost killed me but I got my controllers. Now I need two more....hehehhe. Hello my name is Buffy and I am a newbie who is addicted! Link to post Share on other sites
eurbani 14 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I found something nifty out on this thread http://forums.lighto...3-lor-for-sale/Some of the sale information is there. I originally supposed that I think what they were doing was adding a 1 before the .html, but I now realized that they were going to the march mad grab sale. From there you can see what the sale prices will be for the summer sale. Link here: http://store.lightor...secretsale.html Link to post Share on other sites
