Thread: light o rama ?

Tweet

hello again, I just had a couple of questions about light o rama.
first is there any differnce between the 16 channel lor that wowlights
sales and the one that the lor site sales?
second , are all the lor's dmx compatable?
thanks again for any help.

one more question can you have the lor play and repeat a certain sequence until
a trigger like a motion detecter goes off ,and then have it play a special sequence,and
then return to the original sequence.
kinda of like the animated lighting (from what i was reading)
thanks

I'm like 99% sure that when you buy from lightorama it is cheaper than wow lights. And if you wait for the summer sale then it's a lock.

LOR has some new products coming out during their summer sale. (triggers and such)

They are DMX compatible, but you must buy the LOR idmx box ($249.99) and then you are good to go.

thanks it's so tough to decide between lor and AL
still doing some reading

I chose LOR after doing lots of "reading". I know that there are staunch supporters on both sides. I just felt that LOR was the better fit for me. Plus I bought it on sale and assembled it myself, so if I want I can sell it for more then I bought it for if I change my mind.

Wowlights has one of the models that LOR offers. It is a little less on their site, because I think they purchase the kits and assemble them themselves. Then they just charge a little less. Their sale is coming up too. I was going to buy mine from Wowlights, but LOR had a surprise sale and I ended up getting it from LOR. Plus I ended up getting a different model then Wowlights offers.

here is what we were able to accomplish with LOR last Halloween:

So I vote LOR!

That was INCREDIBLE.

I was especially impressed how you used the RF-V4's and the DC powered units to light up the actor. How many batteries did this guy have to carry and how long did they last with all those lights on his coat, staff, and head going?

4 6V lamp batteries total. 2 in series to power the board, and 2 parallel to power the lights. It wasnt very heavy at first, lol! By the end of the night I was on life support! But the lights were just as bright 3 hours down the road.

Hey, would anyone be interested in trading (or selling) any of their sequences?
