Ricky Parker Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Here are links to a couple of the songs in our display this year. We have 192 Channels of Light O Rama and 2700 Channels on the RGB 16' Mega Tree, a little over 90,000 lights total. Let me know what you think.Christmas Vacationhttps://vimeo.com/55945743Carol of the Bells Technohttps://vimeo.com/55702004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougd Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Looks good. What is your mega tree configuration? Looking to add something similar this coming year. Right now my idea is either 32 strings by 32 pixels or 32 strings by 40 pixels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Parker Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) I am using 18 strands of 50 RGB Lights, soldered together at the top essentially making them 9 100 light strands (50 up and 50 down). It makes the Tree have 900 lights with 2700 channels. Edited December 20, 2012 by Ricky Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jem5136 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I like the Techno Carol of the Bells as well. I'm also wondering what type of RGB lights you are using? I'm converting a lot of my items to RGB next year and have been looking at different options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm converting a lot of my items to RGB next year and have been looking at different options.I used Nutcracker which is converted to use with LOR S3 and my RGB Pixels are 2811's from Ray Wu. I have used LOR for years and currently use 12 LOR controllers but their RGB products were just a little to expensive for me, that's why I had to go with another option.

sasmuse Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Loved the mega-tree! Looking to move to RGB also. How hard was it to program the mega-tree? What program did you use? Also, are the house lights rgb also? If not how did you do that? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Parker Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Loved the mega-tree! Looking to move to RGB also. How hard was it to program the mega-tree? What program did you use? Also, are the house lights rgb also? If not how did you do that? Thanks!Using Nutcracker with LOR it was fairly simple. The lights on the house are all individual strands, every bush, tree, icicle has individual strands which are white, blue, red, and green so each color can be turned on and off individually.

Ricky Parker Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 The tree is awsome. What does it cost to build a tree like that? I want one in my yard..Best one I've seen yet.RGB Lights (900 RGB Lights) = $420.00Meanwell Powersupply (2) 350 Watt (1 was just a back-up) = $110.00Controller = $180.00LOR Update = $30.00Tree components (Poles, coupler, concrete, topper, guide wire = $100.00-120.00I am guessing around $840.00 - 860.00I don't like adding all this stuff up, it makes me realize exactly how much we spend on this crazy hobby. I guess that's why we hate to take it down at the end of the season, we want the season to last longer to get more usage out of everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
