not enuf fuses Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I bought the 8 RGB flood/controller package during the summer sale. I was wondering if I can mount the LED Power Supply (CV1220W) inside the outdoor enclosure that I also bought from LOR along with the controller board. I'm not sure how much heat the power supply gives off so I don't know if this is a good idea. How does anyone mount their PS here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcha Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Yes you can, there is a photo of how LOR mounts the power and the controller in the same enclosure on the store website. They now sell it as a complete package. The power supply is mounted sideways and the controller on the back wall. There is a mounting plate that they use which several people have asked about, but nothing confirming that they are for sale yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince4xmas Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I have assembled (3) of these with CMB24D and DC power supply. Been running two years with no issues. I did not mount them on a panel, mounted with standoffs/screws/nuts to plastic enclosure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzAz Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 and if you are worried about heat ( as some are in Australia where temperature can still be over 30C - 86F at night ) you can add a vent like I've seen others do. 1 or 2 of something like these Ventilator and even a fan on 1 of them will do the trick, I hear. and if you want to get fancy, like I've seen some people do, you can add a Mini LED Temp Meter to the front of the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not enuf fuses Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Thanks again for the input. I'll mount the PS inside and add a vent. Now I just have to figure out how to sequence RGB floods. UGHH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Sequencing RGB floods are as easy as sequencing regular store bought leds. The only difference is that you get to choose the color, easy peasy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to manually put in the intensity for each of the three channels of a flood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Laff Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 look on the tool bar of the sequence editor upper right side top for the color fade tool this where you can select your RGB colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 You can choose solid colors or fade colors from one to another. In the color fade tool you can also do the twinkle and shimmer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also purchased the 8 RGB 10W floods, a power supply and enclosure....but I don't see an easy way to mount the board to the inside of the box. None of the holes line up with the board and the hole side in the box needs a bigger screw than will fit through the controller: https://www.dropbox.com/s/taam83gygi8xwsd/2016-09-27 07.21.17.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/pg6uyaao0ht5roj/2016-09-27 07.21.15.jpg?dl=0 Thank you, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince4xmas Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I drilled allignment holes and used standoffs/machine screws/lockwashers/washers and nuts to assemble both the board and the power supply to the enclosure. You can purchase a mounting plate separately if you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
