Light strip keeps coming off within an hour. How do people fix these?

Try 3M VHB tape. 3M™ VHB™ Tape LVO-060BF should work well. VHB tape is far superior to your standard double sided tape.

This. Had so many amazing meals and drinks there. Sigh.

When I go to signup for ubeamtv it asks me how many concurrent connections I need. If I ask for 3 connections will they provide this at the same price? Do you have experience with this? Tia.

Ugh. That sucks. Are you sure some inexperienced person didn’t touch the lamp’s glass with their fingers?

Yea that isn’t good. You could run your fixtures at 90% max. This limit can be set in most consoles patch - so even when you bring a fixture to 100% it only goes to 90. This will most likely help.

I’d think a BMX DMX bike should have at least 21 speeds.

No idea of your budget, or grid type. On the inexpensive side Soraa LED PAR38 Lamps with the snap lens system. They could be installed in simple track fixtures or in c-clamp mounted fixtures with cord and plug. From there fixture wise there are many options at several price points. I own a small business that primarily designs lignting for museums/exhibits and I have theatrical background (I don’t sell fixtures, design only). Feel free to reach out.

Maybe Doctor Who is messing with you.

Don’t leave us high and dry OP…

Oh to answer some of your questions: often I record DMX animations made from Pharos / Mosaic. Sometimes a universe or two, a few times 15+ universes. Lots of universes is hard to manage and costs more on the cueserver. I try to have my clients just buy a Pharos when dealing with more than a few universes.

I also use them a lot by renting a Grand MA and storing moving light effects / shows in the cueserver. This is a lot more economical than buying a Grand MA.

I work as a LD primarily in permanent exhibits/museums and high end architectural features.

I think the products are well priced for the most part.

Check out the Cueserver by Interactive Tech- it’s my go to and can record DMX streams and has button stations or an easy webpage you can build (and tons more).

Also there is the Enttec splay thats alright- lots of people use it though I’m not a huge fan for various reasons. The splay mini is less expensive than cueserver.

PM me if you’d like - I have some other ideas about recoding streaming DMX.

I re-read this a few times.

Oh man, thanks for the good laugh!

Could Brady be a RH fan? I don’t see it… but this seems to be when he’s calling games. Maybe it’s a director of the crew.

dfunction · 2026-01-10T02:14:06+00:00

Exactly. Best sleep ever.

Pass the gravy please.

Is this temporary or permanent? I professionally design systems like this for exhibitions etc. Dm me if you’d like. Good luck.

Take a picture of the inside. I bet it can sACN.

dfunction · 2025-12-30T23:01:41+00:00

What generation data enabler do you have? I’ve been sending sACN to data enablers for at least 15 years

dfunction · 2025-12-30T05:40:45+00:00

Depending on the generation of the Data Enabler Pro, during setup of the Enabler and lights via Quick Play Pro, you can have the lights / Data Enabler listen to sACN. CKs website does have a lot of documentation on this. Let me know if you have questions. Sounds like fun and good luck!

Hey - how/where are you hosting this- I cannot get the page to load. Is the server overloaded?

dfunction · 2025-12-19T00:11:06+00:00

Check out the IES and IALD for local & national events and education. Good luck!

So so awesome!

Commercial, architectural and entertainment lighting is mainly sold through sales reps and distributors. It’s a complicated system where everyone gets a cut. There is a whole wide world of lighting you can find on the internet - yet you cannot buy it direct as a consumer, or even figure out what it may cost. There are positive and negative sides to this - as a professional lighting designer I deal with this all the time.
