LED Lightboxes Part 3

[Have a disco]

OK been down to plasa 06

Saw the prototypes at the KAM stall and fell in love with them, they aint due out til Jan next year. They have DMX and Stand alone abilities and was led to believe that the basic programs will run off something simular to C8 controller they will do the std RGB 16,000,000 colours

of course size wise they are perfect 2' x 3' and will foldup in pairs for transportation price wise they are looking for about £600 but this was not clear if before vat or after as stall was busy and as ever staff thick as usual

[Paul James Promotions]

I'm in the process of designing a suitable unit. Watch this space :)

[dj steady]

Gee, thanks! :sad:

[Have a disco]

I did the HDC Cortex so only fair LOL

I would hate to seem biased for LED Boxes as I want some???

[Have a disco]

so solitaire your write up for the LED lightboxes or thoughts on them please

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

I thought they were too small, brash, horrible patterns and colours and generally rubbish!

They must be able to do better than that.

We did see some properly programmed ones for larger scale productions, but even the small ones were £4K each.

Might be a while before they make their way onto the DJ market I think!

[Have a disco]

but these were the prototypes so was to be expected maynot be the finalised product quiet yet as what I thought and yes 2' x 3' is just what Im after no larger it becomes a pain to transport about from then on and carry about in general

I thought they were smaller than that - perhaps we are at cross purposes here and I was looking at the wrong ones?

They were on the KAM/Lamba stand, yes?

[Have a disco]

right at the back they were had dmx computer leads out of the top something they said would be changing for health n safety reaons cubed patterns etc etc

[Have a disco]

anyone else going down for the last day willing to check them out as they were there??? more opinions the better

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

A bit like the mood bar type things?

[Have a disco]

In a sense but lightbox shaped have paperwork with me smaller cubes etc etc as to fit in box a pair of them side by side

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

In a sense but lightbox shaped have paperwork with me

Got a link? I think we were looking at something else.

[Have a disco]

will raid my bag again and scan document

[Paul James Promotions]

I'll have a look for you tomorrow :D

[Have a disco]

thanks Paul they were centrally placed on the floor at the back

See if you can get more info out of the guys as they were not to helpful with me being so many about they were easily distracted by other staff most whom work in the offices not on showroom floors

[dj steady]

[Have a disco]

looking for it Hang 5 only paperwork pictures

this was one of the two in this pattern never saw any other pattern but was told it did lots more gives you an idea of the 2' x 3' lightbox though

[dj steady]

Cheers for that mate.....apreciated...

[soundtracker]

That pattern is dreadful! Yeuch!

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Look a bit like 70s wallpaper!

[soundtracker]

I don't see the point in using new technology to produce something that looks just as crap as the originals!

[Have a disco]

Its a start as they say

[DMX Will]

they aren't going to get better unless they take away the perspex and replace it within something with more of a diffuse, making the effect smoother, and thus loosing the 70s look.

[Paul James Promotions]

Just got back from the show. Those LED lightboxes don't look too bad, but i'm not too sure about serial port input :(

[Have a disco]

believe they are meant to move that to the back some where for theose with dmx or computer linkage draw your own patterns or simular of videos etc etc.

Is a first step to boxes coming back though cant wait for final look in January


did you get anymore information from them staff LOL

Sorry Badger me old mucker, but the consensus of the Mod/Admin day trip was that they look hideous! Stick with your pigmy bulbs :teeth:

[Paul James Promotions]

I wasn't too impressed with the show this year. Glad to see Prolight didn't have a stand :D

The Martin stand was pretty rubbish, as was their £40k laser. I can't see them selling much of the LED wall, at £12,500 per 2m x 1m strip...

[ian8limelight]

Sorry Badger me old mucker, but the consensus of the Mod/Admin day trip was that they look hideous!

Got to agree there .......... not my cup of tea (or lights) !! :teeth:

[Paul James Promotions]

Did anyone manage to find the Void demo room?

[Corabar Steve]

Got to agree there .......... not my cup of tea (or lights) !! :teeth:I wasw including you in my comment. :teeth:
Did anyone manage to find the Void demo room?Found Void, upstairs on the left. Demo room??????? didn't know there were any

[ian8limelight]

I wasw including you in my comment. :teeth:

I know you were really ! :rose: :teeth:

[Corabar Entertainment]

Sorry, Badger but I have to say that I think those screens were horrible! Traditional screens look better than they did.

[Have a disco]

we will have to await the finalised product then as they were just prototypes Im sure they will have listened to all comments made at the plasa and yes I did put the boot in regards to the pattern but was assured there would be better ones

[Paul James Promotions]

Did anyone actually find the Void demo room?

[Corabar Entertainment]

In a word - no

[Have a disco]

ERM no I seem to have A'voided it OOPs sorry for the pun

[Corabar Steve]

Sorry, Badger but I have to say that I think those screens were horrible! Traditional screens look better than they did.

It does indeed my fine furry friend

Dragging this back up again, those who have a hand with electronics/DIY, I've found the circuitry, to making your very own DMX light box. The circuit only controls 8 channels, although you could easily build several together to increase the control
