TheUltimate Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I am planning a mega tree for next year using dumb 5050 rgb strips. I will have 18 of them. Because they are 16.4' long and I will only be using about 11.5' feet or so I will have 18 strips that are 4 or 5 feet long. Trying to think of different ways to use those in my show. I figured I would get some ideas from the experts!Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Have you seen any of the Videos like George's that have the fans? Those would look neat in RGB strip. Or you can trim some bushes, or flag poles, or the cat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUltimate Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Tell me about these wind mills??? Not sure i've seen those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75redman Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'm sorry, I ment to say PinWheels. I've seen in videos were they make them out of candy canes. If you did the strips they would just be straight without the curve.http://forums.lightorama.com/index.php?/topic/13773-candy-cane-pinwheels/page__hl__pinwheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Benedict Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Turn them into diamonds; make five different sizes inside each other then drive them with one LOR DC controller.It's in my design plans for this year. As are RGB snowflakes. And an RGB ring tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUltimate Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Ken, great idea with the diamonds! Got me thinking... I could make them into star bursts for my fire sticks. Then the firesticks can burst in any color kind of like fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
