gsxr7500 0 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I am thinking about doing a spiral tree but i want to use 4 colors. Do most people do horizontal vertical mix or do you have some that are just spirals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vkjohnson 7 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Your spirals are going to need some sort of vertical support to hold the tree shape. If you don't use any vertical strands, you'll need some cables or ropes that go strait to the ground. All in personal preference I guess as to how you do it. 4 different colors spiraling down would be something to see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mcas4380 49 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 My plan this year is just spirals with cable supports. but they look nice both ways the hybrid tree give you more sequencing options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Randy 6 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Our tree has 128 strings total, 32 strings of Red, Green, Blue, and Warm White; 16 channels for each color with two strings of each color per channel. The Red and White lights are wrapped in one direction, and the Blue and Green Lights are wrapped in the other direction. I think it turned out pretty nice...Here's a photo...

Luke Kamp 1 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Randy, how many vertical steel cables did you have? and I assume they were just attached to the PVC? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would love to see a lightorama screen shot of the spiral tree during the sandstorm song from 1:20 to 1:40 just to get an idea of what the choreographing consists of. Also what the approx height of the tree and the size of the base? Edited December 31, 2011 by gsxr7500 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
