cenote Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Tested mine tonight, hated, and I MEAN HATED my blue c-7s. 1/2 of them are faded and cracked after only one season. Thinking about tearing them all off, hoping I hit the lottery and can afford to buy blue LED's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Fischer Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I can't believe how many folks are testing already. I probably won't be to that stage for another 2 weeks... I'm happy with the progress I made in the past 2 days though (didn't have a single light up as of yesterday AM) Here's to successful test runs, whenever you do them!

iresq Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I have not started yet. I plan to move everthing from storage to garage and start to pre-stage. I have a couple of large trees that are really hanging on to their leaves and I want to give them a chance to cooperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddmoon Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I pulled everything out of storage into what used to be my shop (Now a daycare center). My wifed looked at me and told me this had to be all out of the daycare and cleaned up by this afternoon.It never ceases to amaze me how much stuff can come out of such a small area. Problem is it keeps growing each year. I will be luck to get my lights fully operational by Thanksgiving. I will have some but there are too many new elements that I have program and wire first.I guess that is what we do for fun? Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austen Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Tested mine sunday. Just a few basic problems such as half a white light string not working, etc. Nothing major. Thankfully!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Being my first year. I have started putting out some of the elements of my display. Well I just had to test some of those elements. One thing that became clear is that two of my porch post are wrapped in LEDs. One is red and one is green. Even though both are programmed the same within LOR seq. editor. When I run the seq. via editor, it appears that I am doing something different with one of the channels. After watching it a few times (ya I am slow). I think what is really happening is that the green has more pop than the red so it hits a given intensity and that makes it appear to be on at a different time than the red LEDs. So, in a few nights I am going to reprogram a section of the seq. and lower the green LEDs intensity to a lower value and hope that the green and red LEDs balance so that they appear to be working in unison.I hope that was not to muddy.
