[QUOTE="Indigogyre, post: 120607, member: 35302"] Hello, and welcome. I'm a complete beginner here but looked at the article and these things come to mind. 1. Is installation going to be permanent or not? (You hinted at being able to move things so semi permanent?) 2. Where is the power coming from? Is this only for a training facility with power or will you need batteries or a generator to run it. 3. Is the track strait or are there curves? 4. What spacing do you want between the pixels? (It looks like led strip which is fairly high density) 5. What sort of weather are they going to be used in? 6. How are you going to set the timing / pace? The distance isn't much of an issue since it is only 50m or just under 170 feet. Bullet pixels or square pixels would be fairly durable and something that is reasonably priced. As for mounting them to things there are many different ways to do it. Perma track is something available in the US [URL]https://www.permatrack.us/shop/permatrack/[/URL] For bends you could look at modifying and using PVC housing trim with landscape edging People use 1/2" pvc drilled out for mounting lights which also bends. The hardest part is going to be controlling the lights and the timing of the pace in my opinion. Those are just some of my initial thoughts. Dean [/QUOTE]

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