Looking at doing some of the dumb ribbons for the wash factor they are capable of, and possibly some pixels, I like the Lor products, they are just above my pocket book at the moment. 

Been talking with a couple of the guys from NC. He used the Dumb ribbons 5050 and cut them to length. They looked pretty good on his stuff this year. He bought all of his dmx controls, from HolidayCoro dot com. Plus, I like the effects of how well they washed the  walls better than the floods I normally been usuing.

However, want to look into the Pixels because they still give you the old fashion christmas look of the bulbs. When they completely ribbon down their show to me it takes away christmas and makes it feel more like a concert atmosphere. Except I haven't got high or seriously, puking drunk in over 20 + years. lol so not so sure I want the full concert effect.

As for the ccr, or ccbs that lor provides it makes me cringe to think I would pay 250 or so just to cut them like I want to fit, as I read some have. You can buy the ribbons, and controllers for dmx, both for around 50 bucks. Of course that only gives you 3 channels.RGB.

The majority of my lights are still incans and need to be replaced. so I am looking into changing over, but you know that takes $$$ that we all have so much of, yeah buddy.  :cry:  So I figured I should look into that side of the game. Still studing  Sandevices E682 and E1.31, Controllers as they work with lor software and the rest of the network. Its kinda like going back to school time.

Anyway sorry hate typing, but got carried away.
