marsh28 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 If you want to chase the floods, which is what I do in my show, I'd use the 36 watt RGB floods Ray Wu sells. They're super powerful and you can put multiple floods right next to each other. My show this year uses six of these bad boys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_bdNDqPfhA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Benedict Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Easy to try by getting two strips together in parallel on a 1x2 with zip ties and light them up at night to see how they do. You can get dumb strips because they're easy to install and drive with a simple controller. There are so many places to get these strips, it boggles my mind.

I ordered some strips earlier today and I'm going to test them out. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to help me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you send me a link to the ones you purchased?Thanks!Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santas Helper Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Oh my, that's an awfully large price tag (needing more than one for that 4 story building) and not knowing if that is even enough or will work for that large of display.At 100cm in length that is equal to about 40". I'm guessing quite a few of those will be needed. Again, just guessing...But maybe you have a nice budget to work with too. And maybe it's worth trying if you do have the budget.That is an impressive wall washer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe it's worth trying if you do have the budget.That is an impressive wall washer though.It's a big chunk of change for sure. I've ordered a few things to test out first. I've ordered 8 of the lor floods, a couple of 50w floods, and some led strips. Maybe i can find something in there that will do the job. If all else fails, I'll have to break out the $$$ for as many as 8 of those floods from ray. It's the $500+ shipping that kills me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh28 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Shipping will be less than 100 bucks if you buy in bulk. I bought my 6 spots for just under $700 last year (with shipping). The breakdown was about $110. Considering similar lights from Elation cost $400 a pop, its an absolute steal. 3 CCRs would cost you more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoDat Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Ah I added 8 to the cart and shipping was over 500. I've never bought from him before. Do I contact him for the bulk rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh28 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Go to Ray's website and email him for an estimate on shipping. It will be much more reasonable than what's posted on the website. Also, by dealing directly with Ray, you can pay with paypal. Finally, just because Ray doesn't have something in his store doesn't mean he can't get it. Ray is just a distributor of LED lighting products from a bunch of different small companies. If you wanted a bigger light, or something custom, he can do it for you.

Tim Fischer Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Here's another flood you can check out:http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/36-1W-DMX512-LED-High-Power-Wall-Washer-AC90-260V-input/701799_907524450.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHolmes Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) I would recommend wall-washers. I have 36W wall-washers that we use for our buildings. You can see them at http://lightsmusicmagic.com/new.html Scroll down below RGB Strings to see the Floods. The sample video uses 8-12 floods depending on the sequence.

marsh28 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 JHolmes, you're video of the white house using those 36 watt wash lights is what inspired me to do my light show in the first place. Awesome job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I still don't think the 36w ones will be bright enough for the size building that the OP has. I don't think the DMX controllers will handle anything bigger because of the current and voltages used. Only the LOR 24channel DC controller would work. The 200w fixture I posted earlier I have my doubts about its heat dissipation especially if a lot of white is used. Also the 200w fixture needs to be modified to work with DC control.
