Moorhouses Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hi all, Hoping for a few recommendations/suggestions. Looking to add a nice LED netting effect above our auditorium as we near Christmas. Struggling to find anything appropriate.. Previous years we used standard LED Xmas lights, but these look a bit poor in my opinion. Looking for a net/flexible sheet that I can fly on the truss over the audience that can be controlled via DMX. No fancy effects needed, just something that will add a little touch over our festive gigs. Can anyone suggest anything..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Remo Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 To buy or hire? Colourweb is fairly cheap to hire, simple to rig, DMX control, one universe if you don’t mind repeating patterns, or bung an old hippo 2 or resolume server on it and have an instant low res video roof for not much cash. Siyan or Coloursound would be my go to if london based, both have a reasonable quantity (or certainly did have, in recent memory) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorhouses Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Cheers James, open to both to be honest, but likely a hire as I imagine it will be quite an expensive investment... That said, if it pays for itself over 2-3 years, I'd consider it. Thanks for the heads up - shame though as I'm waaay up North. Given me something to look at though, so thanks!

niclights Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Perhaps give HSL a shout? They're just down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete LD Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 What about something like this? https://www.chauvetdj.com/products/motionorb/ Or this https://www.chauvetdj.com/products/festoon/ Both fully DMX able or built in stand alone effects. They are also expandable to suit your needs! The Festoon RRP is £299 a length. the Orb thing is £339 and £79 for an extension set! Hope that helps.

ImagineerTom Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 WS2812 pixels and a little diy would enable you to create something that fits your space perfectly, be surprisingly cheap and be relatively upgrade proof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
