Terpsmurf Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I am considering using lights and LOR in a float for a parade. I will only be using one controller, possibly just 8 channels, something simple. Can anyone suggest a decent power convert or quiet generator that is fairly cheap and can do the job.

Bigfrog 59 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 If I may suggest, you might want to consider going 12 volt with the . You could hide a 12 volt battery on the float pretty easy or run a 12 volt line from your vehicle. If your vehicle is wired for pulling a trailer it would be simple to power it from the plug-in. I am working on a similar project with my wife's sleigh that see pulls behind her horse, I will be using the CMB-16D with a easy light linker powered with a 4-D battery that will sit under the seat. I am presently looking for a used harness for the horse as my wife really don't me messing with her show harness lol. Should look cool when it's done (well it looks good on paper anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenAyres Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Last year I wanted to play music loud enough to be heard so used a yamaha inverter to plug in the light show and play the music - Yamaha EF2000iSv2, 1600 Running Watts/2000 Starting Watts - real quiet and powered everything just fine.

~DOC~ Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) If it’s a parade float. You have to pull it somehow and that something has a 12 volt system. You can simply run an inverted off the electrical supply to power 120 volts. I suggest a pure sine wave inverter since I don’t know how well LOR will run off modified. Or as previous mentioned 12 volt pixels are quite doable. Edited November 10, 2018 by ~DOC~ Correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
