bravado67 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I discovered LOR a week before Thanksgiving and had a 48 channel light show up and running by December 1. That was after trying my old lights and trying to use big box store light shows; none of which I liked for our new home. With little time I took advantage of the Sequence Store and used my imagination for additional props. I am beyond bitten! And we just won Yard of the Month! I have finished all the tutorials, purchased SuperStar, practicing, and PLANNING next year's show. My house as you will see is sectioned by 3 main areas (better to have 4 for music) which has me going nuts. For this year I took the top left and right roof sections for 1, Middle roofline for 2, top right roofline for 3 and bottom roofline "L-shape" for 4. I am hoping you may offer some suggestions on how to section my home for the best appearance. Our home is at the end of a T sections so viewing is great from 180 degrees with best viewing from front garage side. I plan to run Smart RGB Ribbons, Pixels or Bulbs next year as well as a Mega Tree in the right side of my home. I have 26x25 feet to play with. Also, why would I choose bulbs vs pixels for my roofline and windows? Or, better to use ribbons? If ribbons, how do I make the most of the strand with varying sized windows to limit waste? Thanks for any help you can offer. Ron Howard (not the actor! lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmienLightFan Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Bulbs have more of a traditional C9 Christmas light bulb style and pixels are more like a simple LED and housing. You can use either for your roofline and windows. Ribbons, done well, have a cleaner straight modern look. However are much harder and it does involve cutting. Now you can still use the extra bits of CCRs with Light-O-Rama's new Pixcon 16 pixel controller, so there is little wastage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
