ellipsismusic Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hey everyone, I want to enhance my live performances by purchasing some LED lights that will be programmed via DMX in Ableton Live to my music. I want to get two rectangular-shaped LED boxes that stand behind me but I'm not exactly sure what to purchase how to set these up. I have attached a rough drawing of what they'd look like - any thoughts and ideas are greatly appreciated and you'd be doing a great favour for me! Take care.

ellipsismusic Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Thank you for the information! My plan is to have two LED bars, as shown in the links, standing upright by themselves and then to flash reds, greens, blues, whites, etc. depending on the notes and the specific song melodies. I understand the programming part but was unsure of how to physically mount the LED bars onto some sort of support on stage. Again, thank you!

empyfree Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Most Led battens have the ability to clamp to truss/scaff. Easy way to make them upright would be a tank trap and length of scaff. You look to have drawn led battens of around 2m (using your human for scale!). I think you might be looking at two battens a side, one atop the other. Post some pictures when you figure it out!

paulears Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 If you buy led battens - they have a point to attache a safety chain. If you use this to mount them on ordinary mic stands, it works quite well - we do this quite often. Most stands when you buy them have a threaded ring about the size of a 10p coin - remove this, mount the batten and use the ring to secure the battens so they don't fall off. The weight of the light keeps them hanging at the right angle, and you just raise the mic stand to adjust the operating height! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
