Jaffacree Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 What brand is everyone using? Im looking for LED Rope Lights for my Theater Room. I would like them to be color changing, and controllable by Control4, either by IR or other means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like them to be color changing, and controllable by Control4, either by IR or other means.Frys (FRYS.COM) has some really inexpensive LED's that you can have multicolored very inexpensively - they will operate on a remote that comes with it but nothing else that I ahve been able to work with - this is not a problem for me as I wanted WHITE - but you can set it to what ever color you like and then have it go on or off. Note - you do NOT want a dimmer on the LEDs as MOST of them will "re-trigger" the lights - meaning that if you turn them off they will immediately just come right back on.You can spend a LOT of money on LED lights that are multi-colored. You can also spend a lot of on on just white lights. The FRYS lights were the cehapest that I have found - the initial set that goes about 12 feet it $150.00 - extensions of up to 25 feet after that are less then $50.00 or so.Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubben Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Im using the control4 DIN-system with 1-10V diming. 4 of the 8 channels in the box is for Led-spots, and 3 is for my RGB-stripes behind my screen. From the I/O-module i have connected a Velleman RGB-dimmer. The LED-strip is a regular 12Vdc 7,2W/m.With that I´m able to set each colour, or create a light-scene for red, orange, amber, yellow, etc.The total cost for 30 feet RGB including RGB-dimmer was ~350Eur + DIN-Rail.I first had the strip controled by IR, I realy can´t recomend that.
