Light-O-Rama Light contrllers

Thanks, the tree is probably the most difficult thing to set up each year, but it's totally worth the extra hassle for the spiral effect :)

This is 48 Channels of Light-O-Rama and 60 channels of DMX. The sequence was purchased from WowLights.com and modified for my use. The video was taken by my friend Sean with a DJI Phantom 4 and edited by me.

when i bought some lights from Home Depot this year, I took a dimmer from the electrical department and tried it on the various LED lights. None of them liked the dimmer. Most of them just flickered.

as I stated in another voting topic, votes can also be purchased. there are actual business dedicated to voting. you pay them, they vote. I suspect that is what happened to a contest that I was in last year. I was in first place with over 80% of the vote. Then in a 6 hour period between 12am and 6am, I went to 3rd place with 2% of the vote. How would that many people have voted in the wee hours of the morning?

Light-o-Rama (LOR) has DIY kits where you assemble the enclosure and board yourself. that saves a bit off the cost of a pre-built controller. As far as building it from scratch by yourself, sorry can't help you there. Sounds like a fire waiting to happen.

Christmas Light Contest
Duct Tape replied to cwatkins91's topic in Community Wide Announcements From You!
voted. I stopped participating in these online contests once I found out that you can actually pay a company to boost your likes. A couple years ago, I went from 1st place with 80 percent of the votes, to 3rd place with 2 percent of the votes within a 4 hour period. (4am-8am) good luck though -
http://www.xmultiple.com/xwebsite-sealant.htm or other similar product lightly coat the connector, and work it in and out of the jack a few times. that should clean it up if the jack isn't completely corroded.

Are these premade Cat5 cables or are you making them yourself? If you are making them yourself, avoid using EZRJ45 connectors. If you don't have a sharp crimp/cut off tool, the ends of the cat5 can poke through the connector and cause pins in the RJ45 jack to short out. I would check for corrosion in the RJ45 jack. Maybe replacing the cable is cleaning off these connections just enough to make it work until the corrosion creeps back in.

Pics of anyone's display progress

Took a 360 video. You can drag the screen around to see different areas of the show. -
I like it. I might steal this idea for next year. One thing you will want to purchase to save your hands from cuts, is a set of flush cutting pliers to cut off those sharp ends on the zip ties.

I recommend www.wowlights.com for people trying to get a start with LOR. They have packages set up that include musical sequence files. I started with a 16 channel package with Santa face and built my light show from that.

Move Channels In Light O Rama
Duct Tape replied to Snowman in Louisiana's topic in Light-O-Rama World
you need to open a sequence, edit the configuration. then export the channel configuration. Then open your other sequence files and import the channel configuration. then save each file. -

I don't think anyone can count on finding deals at garage sales when it comes to planning the power cabling for their light shows.
