gordontech Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 For a design Im working on I had a thought of having a strobe capsule ropelight like. Randomly strung round the back of a rig for an effect. All I can find is domestic standard ones. Is there a DMX strope capsule rope light in the work or am I dreaming? I have done the effect with chroma web before but the design in my head would need to be a rope rather then mesh. Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHYoung Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 You possibly mean mode electronics Arcline, or possibly Pulsar Flexiflash. The arclines a blue 6' solid 2" clear blue tube with 4 strobes inside. They chain together and indeed strobe in a ropelight fashion with flash rate and movement under the control of a controler. Partularly effetive sound to light. Ive got a sizeable amount and its an effect you cant do any other way {other than flexiflash} , but it doesnt travel well and is tedious to maintain. It however does something that all the video walls and sharpies in the world wont... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lasergraph@AOL.Com Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I spoke to White Light this morning and they no longer make or service Arcline. Does anyone have any manuals use or service? I am also interested in buying any tubes or controllers that come up for sale, please.Best regards,Stuart Hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jivemaster Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Are you rich? .ebay.co.uk/itm/22-x-Mode-Electronics-ArcLine-Xenon-Tubes-RARE/123628685439?hash=item1cc8d8087f:g:5YkAAOSwi6dcWD4H&frcec and thats just the tubes. There was a time in the UK when plastic cased light bulb sized strobes were common but they had no connection to synchronise the strobing and they would just flash quite moderately at random.

ed_ld Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Could you get close by using some Enttec pixel dots? The none diffused one are pretty bright! https://www.enttec.co.uk/range/pixel-gb/pixel-dot-gb/ If time is on your side, there are plenty of similar things on Ali Express etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
