Don Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 There are some major differences between 10w and 50w LOR RGB Flood lights. The 10w floods must be connected to a controller, such as the CMB24D, in order to run. If you look in the LOR store you will even find extension cables that will allow you to go further than the standard length the floods come with. The 50w floods have their own controller built into the flood. You do not connect them to any other controller in order to run. You could have an entire display with nothing but 50w floods, and you would not have another LOR controller in the mix. You could even have the 50w floods running stand-alone, with a sequence downloaded to the controller (that's built into the flood, remember.) When you purchase a 50w flood from LOR, it comes with the controller built in, and power supply. It also has network connections, just like other LOR controllers, so that you can connect them together. Be careful not to mix up the two! If you have questions about the two, be sure to ask. Don't assume they are the same, as they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I was thinking 40w 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g8rben Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 We are using the S4 software with 4 CTB16PC controllers and adding two 50W RGB floods. The software needs to know the type of controller the floods are and we can't find it in the literature. It would appear the software wants to know if the controller in the flood is either BSOFT digital IO card, Dasher controller, Digital IO card, DMX universe (we're using a LOR ethernet system so likely not this one), regular channel, or an X10 controller. Any help would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Laff Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 If your using it in the lor network you just assign it a id like any other lor controller in DMX mode you assign it a start address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Each RGB 50w flood uses 3 RGB channels and two 'regular' channels. Just add 1 RGB and 2 regular channels for each flood. You'll use channels 1-5. 1,2,3 for the RGB, 4/5 for the on/off/strobe channel. No need to add a controller or anything of that nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Laff Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Don if your talking about lor 50 watt floods they do have an ID number assigned to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Don if your talking about lor 50 watt floods they do have an ID number assigned to themYes, they will. And when you create/edit the RGB channel, you would define it there.No need to add a controller, though, for 50w floods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakison Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Just added 12 of these to my display this year.....what an addition! I was definitely surprised at the brightness and brilliance of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
