benmilner Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Hi,I'm in the uk and looking for an fm transmitter to broadcast the music for my light show. The mobile black box looks like a popular choice but I'd have to pay shipping and duty on top of the already high price of the unit. Does anyone know a uk source that sells a similar product?Thanks,Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLD Kevin Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I don't own one but read many like the EDM. If you search the forums for FM transmitter you will find many post on the subject.Link to EDM: http://www.edmdesign.com/Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benmilner Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Thanks for the reply Kevin but these guys don't seem to be in the uk. I think there in South Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Long Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 There is now a UK light-o-rama facebook page if you are interested. Should be able to search it if not let me know and i will add you to it. It was only started on friday by Dan (digdeepfundraising) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Long Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 First test complete and it transmitted to the fm radio on my smartphone. Distance was at least 80 feetLink is http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180939613459?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649I am well happy with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozentundra52 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Lee that is the same one I use. Mine on the 100mw setting goes about 2.5 blocks(700ft) on the 500mw setting about 1 mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine on the 100mw setting goes about 2.5 blocks(700ft) on the 500mw setting about 1 mile.It seems to be a great bit of kit and wasn't expensive imo if mine gets close to the distance yours gets i will be very pleased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benmilner Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Thanks for the link guys. Ill take a look. I don't know how long your drive is but I certainly won't need to broadcast a mile away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozentundra52 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 My signal is as low as it will go. Fades out at 2.5 blocks. Computer volume at 50% transmitter set at 9 o'clock. Anything less it sounds like crap. Lol! Next year EDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Long Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Hey Gman7711 , I have no experience of the light o rama transmitter but if you do a search on this forum for info you will see peoples reaction to it. Here is a link to one thread about it http://forums.lightorama.com/index.php?/topic/23780-wht-bad-quality/page__hl__transmitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman7711 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I found reviews on YouTube and Amazon that love it. I think some peoples locations (interference) and distance they're trying to archieve are the issues. I guess we'll see when I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryM Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I think you'll find the general consenses is, in the long list of quality transmitters, its towards the bottom. Its more than just "interference" or distance issues, the unit is just not that good compared to others (EDM, Ramsey, et al).If you do find it works for your situation, thats great, but don't be surprised if you join the long list of people who say "wish I wouldn't have bought it...".

Surfing4Dough Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I found reviews on YouTube and Amazon that love it. I think some peoples locations (interference) and distance they're trying to archieve are the issues. I guess we'll see when I get it.My guess is that it might be adequate for what majority of people use home FM transmitters for--just transmitting within your house/car, or maybe even your yard ( I didn't waste my time reading the reviews, but that is what I suspect), hence the "good reviews". However, for what our needs are the majority say the WHT is pathetic. Too bad that LOR continues to sell it since too many newbies make the mistake of buying it (I understand why LOR does, but it is just too bad). Haven't regretted my EDM purchase at all.

George Simmons Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I haven't regretted for one minute my purchase of EDM. I also understand, kind of, why LOR sells WHT. It's just too bad that one piece of crap equipment like that can sully the reputation of a company like LOR. The above commenters are spot-on - the people who actually like the thing are few and far between indeed. In my case, I couldn't even get the WH to transmit inside the house with any kind of listening quality. I finally got tired of trying to give it away to people I don't like and deposited it in the trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
