Groomlakearea51 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 IIRC that is a bedroom. Lots of great heritage huh? It's being "split up" in about a month or two. Only thing left in the BR will be the outer pair of Klipschorns, a pair of Heresy's, and the LaScala's as the "center". The picture is "old". The amps used now are AU-11000 pro series, and they can be set for L+R for a center channel. All the Heresy's are in the living room; Cornwalls and another pair of Khorns will go into the new "stereo-man cave" room. Permit was approved (by my wife and the building department...), concrete footer, etc. starts in about a week; etc. Room treatment for sure on that project though....

bigpants_ku Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Indyklipschfan, Are these the lights you got? These have kind of this "ice" texture. They're for sale on christmaslightsetc.com for $20 for a 8.8 foot strand, spaced every 4". That's 25 lights per strand. I found dozens of websites selling LED christmas lights, and many were cheaper than these- I just wondered if this bulb texture is like what you got, or if you got the smooth philips ones.

IndyKlipschFan Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 page 2 again 17 dollars per box.. 180 lights per box... ( 3 strands) 48 feet of lights... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 So Sams club 1 800 833 3390 or wait just a few months... I am sure they will be back. Again, the perfect blue too! << I really can't stress this enough..... That rich blue is just awesome.. Bright or dimmed too... Durable bulbs are break, fade , and chip resisitant! Save 90% energy too! (Al Gore would be proud!!!) I know Sams club.. a division of Wal Mart and to some the EVIL empire... Also made in China... They even warn you in the prop 65 warning to watch the handling the coated wires of this product because it exposes you to lead, a chemical known in the state of California to cause birth defects and other reproductive hard... SO WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER USE... ( I guess in the other states.. it doesn't? OK, So I washed em in Indiana just in case!) At 17 dollars you will put em up once.... average bulb life is 25,000 hours... So, home run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpants_ku Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Thanks! These are what I'll be buying. I'm going to run 5 strands in 3 places, on 5 separate faders. One strand will be blue only. Two will be red overlying blue, on separate faders. Why, you ask? Well, I like blue the best (just seems natural, as you mentioned earlier). My alma mater is KU, and we'll be watching a lot of Jayhawk basketball in HD down here, so I will put on Red on one strand and Blue on another for such occasions. Also, there are a lot of K-State wildcat fans around here, and we'll probably watch some wildcat football from time to time, and although it pains me to do so, it will be cool to turn on the red and blue strands that are run together at the same time, and get a purple glow. (At least I hope that's what happens- at $17 per strand, I can afford to find out.) Do you have the lights postitioned closer together in your ceiling than they are on the strand, to eliminate hot spots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I kept them as is.. They seem to be about 4 inches apart... where the strand ended and started I overlapped it... to keep it 4-5 inches apart so looks seemless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 The look of these seem to put out more light.. the ones you showed earlier might not? Like I said, for 17 dollars last year... HOME RUN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpants_ku Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I'm definately getting the ones you did. I'm afraid those "ice" ones will put out a pattern that isn't the glow we're after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 yes I agree... have fun send pics later too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpants_ku Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I am wiring for all of my HT lights today, so I can sheetrock tomorrow. I've got faders galore (a total of nine - I am known to overdo things). I bought a couple of lutron faders for one area and I noticed on the instruction paper that came with it that their minimum recommended wattage per fader is 40W. The LED christmas lights seem to range from 4 to 10W, depending on number of lights in strand, and I certainly won't have 40W worth of lights per fader. How many strands of LED lights do you have on your fader and have you had any problems? I think the "minimum" is referring to incandescent bulbs, so that the fading is actually noticable, but hopefully isn't an issue for our LED christmas lights faders.

rmlowz Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hello, I would think that a big silver disco ball in the middle of the ceiling and about 100 of those dice with fur hanging from the ceiling would look great with all the Christmas lights.Just my 2 cents. rmlowz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpants_ku Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 rmlowz, Sorry we hijacked your post. The christmas lights are LED and are hidden up behind trim, and on faders. You never see them, only a neon-like glow that emminates from behind the trim. In a couple months when I get this done, there will be pictures on the arcitectural forum. It's going to be sweet, and no disco balls or fuzzy dice will be present. (I DO have a disco ball though...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I use the three strands for 48 feet of coverage.. (one box ) Don't worry about the wattage problem... Lutron is what I use also.. GREAT faders.. Cost more.. but dead silent too and no interfearance!!! I wann see pics when your done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 rmlowz.. the reason I asked about the danleys is this : The Danley's go up to maybe 60 htz with I assume a huge roll off.. So if your using the 80- Htz THX specs.. So your missing that 60- 80 range? Now the THX subs can handle it but do you notice it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmlowz Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hello IndyKlipschFan, Why are you yelling? and no I don't notice it the La Scalas will handle the range. rmlowz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
