mich Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hi, I am currently working on a small project with my students and for their play they want pink background light running around the stage. I tried to find pink tubes or LED strips, no luck so far. Do you have any ideas maybe?Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynot Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Mix red and blue LED?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musht Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Mix red and blue LED?? Tends to look purple. Pink LEDs do exist, blue with a red phosphor, some look more purple than pink, its not a very bright colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam2 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Pink flourescent lamps are readily available from most suppliers, in 2 foot 18 watt, 4 foot 36 watt, or 5 foot 58 watt sizes, fit standard flourescent fittings but not dimmable without special and expensive control gear.White flourescent lamps are sold everywhere and can be sleeved with pink gell.RGB LED strip can give pink light by proper control, but is rather expensive.

Ashley R Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Pink fluorescent lamps are readily available from most suppliers, in 2 foot 18 watt, 4 foot 36 watt, or 5 foot 58 watt sizes, fit standard fluorescent fittings but not dimmable without special and expensive control gear.White fluorescent lamps are sold everywhere and can be sleeved with pink gel.RGB LED strip can give pink light by proper control, but is rather expensive. I would 2nd the Standard white fluro and then an appropriate gel covering. As the Pre coloured tubes will usually only come in 1 maybe 2 different shades. compared to the gel, well we all know the range that's out there.

jonathanhill Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 How about some pink LED rope light? More dimmable than fluorescents (may need a load). http://www.festive-lights.com/rope-light/pink-outdoor-led-rope-light-16-metre.html?utm_source=gbase&utm_medium=se&utm_campaign=gb This is the first decent length of ropelight link that came up. I am sure that more trawling will bring up some other hits, but I have work to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe.Smith Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Why don't you try RGB LED strip? I had a similar problem, when I needed a dark purple, which was quite rare, and I bought RGB LED strip, and set the colour myself. http://www.ledcentre...te-package.htmlIf it is RGB, you can use it later with other colours too, and this is also dimmable.

Don Allen Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 For pink you want red and white. Start with full red and bring up the white. RGB christmas tree lights may be cheapest. here is a link to an RGB christmas light mod deep dark hack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam2 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Pink flourescent tubes are fairly readily available.Some types use a pink phosfor, these appear white when un lit.Other types are a standard tube with a pink coating. Dimming ballasts for flourescent lamps are now much more affordable and available than in the past, note however that most types are NOT compatible with standard theatre or d0m3stic dimmers.They require a seperate control, often at 0/10 volts DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Mix red and blue LED??No, it's Red, plus smaller roughly equal amounts of Blue and Green. - On SmartFade ML and other Hue/Sat aware consoles, put the Hue controller to Red, and then set the Saturation control to ~50% and adjust to get the pink you want.

bigclive Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Yeah, but pink is never out of style. On the subject of gel on fluorescent tubes. Using an appropriate colour temperature gives a better colour and efficiency. For instance, a warm white tube is a god choice for pink gel.
