Hi, I am working on a small storefront theater show and have 9 shitty LED pars in a dmx chain. I have two questions: How do I figure out exactly which profile works for them? (I'm programming on an ETC Element and have found one that seems close but not exactly right) When I bring one up at a...

Hi all! I'm breaking down the plot for an immersive install piece that will hopefully resume in the next weeks/months. Currently, I'm trying to figure out how to safely power a bunch of LED tape in a non-theatrical space. I'm planning on using some 30A power supplies like this (link below)...

That would have been MUCH easier. Unfortunately, the designer purchased these lights early on in the process and budget didn't allow for replacing them all

Wow. Thank you so much for testing and explaining that so thoroughly. This is super helpful! I' have to come back and post a picture of them all working once I'm finished with the install. Thanks againLiz

Jim - that sounds like a great option - and is a great idea for another project I'm working on. I may end up contacting you again when I get to ordering equipment for it. Unfortunately, I know we can't afford that for this show (although I'm sure that would've been a much cleaner solution)...

Awesome. Thanks for looking into that for me!

That makes sense. We got the 3m length strands. And it would've been easiest to leave them on their battery packs, but they'd like to control them from the board during the show. We don't have much budget left so I'm looking to borrow a decoder and power supply and run them from that.I'm...

Thanks Jim! This is a link to the lights my LD ordered to use on the show. They're some very cheap fairy lights, and we're using them in groups of 50 leds (cutting chunks of ten leds from the 3m strands that they come in, and wiring those in parallel)...

Hi! This is my first post on this forum. I'm wondering if someone can help me out with figuring out how to control some led string lights with a dmx decoder and power supply.There are four groups of them, so I hoped that I could control them with a four channel decoder and connect all of the...
