Randall Huber Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Just wondering what everyone's opinion is on floods pointing up or down. Which gives you better effect/look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Y.R.G. Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I point up but then again I like Ford's also hahah. I say it's personal preference/convenience and go with what you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Huber Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 I agree on personal preference. I have mine pointing down. Thought I might point up. I have a mega tree doing all kinds of stuff below most of them and sometimes its hard to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75redman Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 If you have them mounted to eves pointing down you're limited on distance. If they're pointed up you can cover a larger area. Just something to consider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santas Helper Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I point them out towards the audience. Makes a nice effect like being at a TSO concert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzB Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hi, I've been thinking about changing my display this year from using my LOR 16 channel control to floods. I have just under 50 feet of house frontage to light up. Would two of the 50's do that or would three be better? I can set the floods back about 30 ft from the house.

Crimson Lane Lights Etown Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Buzz, I use two 50's. Mounted under the center of each garage door pointed down mounted year round. The color that they throw is deep and I have tan garage door color. Depending on where you want to throw the color and how intense you want it to look, would determine how many 50's. I say buy 2 at 25 feet per unit coverage. Also, Use all the controllers at the same time. You will be an expert at sequencing and wish you had more channels as well as the upgraded license.

BuzzB Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Thank you much! I do have another question. How are the colors programmed on the software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Lane Lights Etown Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Buzz, in the sequence editor, with a sequence open and loaded, right click on your channel configuration on the left side. Chose insert device above or below. select cf50d as the device. Then the channels will be there to chose the colors needed for sequencing. Play around with different choices you'll get it.

BuzzB Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Ross, thank you for the helpful information. I have the lights working and I see that I can convert what I already have to RGB channels, that will save me time. I still have a problem with the strobes getting them on and off. The user manual mentions changing the on time from 8.33ms to 83.3 ms and higher intensities result in a long flash. How do I adjust that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
