[QUOTE="Peter Heyt, post: 96869, member: 27658"] I am Peter Heyt and I have been searching for answers for a few weeks and today I found you guys ;) I am a balloon artist from The Netherlands and for a BridesFair (is that the correct word for a fair for weddings?) I want to built a few balloon columns and a large arch with digital LED.s inside. With “inside” I mean not inside the balloons but inside the clear plastic poles I use to attach the balloons to so it appears the balloons are emitting light. Really cool effect. I have worked with DMX before in my time as a Laser artist but I hope there is a better and faster way to do what I have in mind. My balloon setup: - In het middle I have a balloon arch of 7 meters total length - On each side I have 3 ballon columns each 2 meters high. - On top of each column is a 90cm balloon. My LED setup: - On each column I want to use a 5V Digital LED strip with 60 LED’S per meter, WS2812b, 5050SMD, 14,4 Watts per meter (max), 900 Lumen per meter, IP20. That’s 120 LED’s per column. 720 LED’s in total. - On the arch I want to use this LED strip as wel. So 7 meters of 60 LED’s per meter gives 420 LED’s. (I may combine two strips of 3 and 4 meters since my supplier has no 7 meter length) - In each 90cm top balloon I want a cluster of LED’s so I can make some cool rotating light FX inside each balloon. To do this with DMX I need a lot of universes/DMX interfaces. I would like to use these LED strips instead of their ribbons because I like to have a high resolution in the movement of the light through the balloons. [MEDIA=youtube]qm224vocfSM[/MEDIA] [i][size=2][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm224vocfSM]View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm224vocfSM[/url][/size][/i] This is what I want but in a higher resolution. You can see the individual lights as they go and I do not want that. With 60 LED’s per eter I should get a very smooth motion. I have contacted Light-o-rama but their response is very general and doesn’t help me al all. Looking at their website it must be possible to connect these LED strips to their Pixie16 5V controller In my newbie but in my opinion (LOL) I could make a working system if I just get their USB-RS485-HS connector and the S4-Pro software. Does anybody have experience in using that many LED’s (240 on the arch) on a single channel/“Nodes per string” with this Pixie line? I want to buy the Pixie16 version because the next project will be 10 or more of these arches in a line so I can make a tunnel with really cool depth effects ;) I really would appreciate a few lines that can help me out. The Fair is in September so time is allergy ticking away ;) Greetings from The Netherlands, Peter Heyt [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
