hello everyone , the band of my friends "Get Over It " ask me to program a light show. Here the first song of the set what did you think of it ?

Live Light Synthesis

😎

So there was this old ride that had these neon lights that had a pre recorded sequence and I’ve always been fascinated as to what software was used for it. The light sequence and music automatically play at the same time. Can someone help identify it or something similar enough?

Looking at upgrade options from my WLED based homemade controllers. Looking heavily at the Kulp K16A-B what I’m confused about is it has options to come with beaglebone premounted or a SD card with FPP installed. If I already have a raspberry pi with FPP for a show computer, I don’t need either of these options? If that’s the case $130 for that controller seems like a great deal!

Looking to find a programmable motion sensor to trigger multiple sets of twinkly light pro lights.

I’ve bought a few but they all go from 1s to 5s to 1 minute and I need somewhere in between. I also need the delay to be adjustable.

Hey guys, I'm about to buy that little laser but I couldn't find any infos on the net. I was wondering if it had any flaws before and what was its original price ( to be sure I'm making an affair ). I'll join you some pictures of it and it's effects. Thanks for the help !

Im currently getting into the hobby and want to find a software that works for me. I already tried: - Onyx(missing a 3d view) - sweetlight (not very intuitive) - MyDMX 3.0 (just did not work. Missing button labels etc)

It feels like there is no good or professional software on the market that works for small hobby ajs. Or am I just too stupid to find it? I feels like every software I touched was made by a hobby developer with no feeling for UX Design

Please help out a greenhorn.

I'm wondering if it's possible to make a small (as in lights on a desk) light show setup with USB lights? I have some USB RGB lights that look like different objects and characters, and I thought it would be awesome to control them in some way to make a light show with them. Is there any software/hardware that does this?

Tldr: could you see a light show as an alternative to fireworks, and if so what sort of system would you recommend I start with and build out from over the years? Any resources where I could learn more about this art form would be greatly appreciated!

(If this is not the right community for this question I apologize and would ask that you redirect me if possible)

I am looking forward to getting together with friends to celebrate the 4th of July as we do each year, however, I am not looking forward to the firework show that accompanies the event.

The organizers usually ask for $30-$50/person for fireworks and contribute more themselves, amounting to a sum well over $1,000 every year for something that is immediately lost and incredibly loud. I, with very little information/expertise, would think that investing the same amount each year for 5 years would eventually lead to a spectacular show and one that could be enjoyed several times a year.

Last year the festivities were brought to a sudden halt when the neighbor, a veteran, responded to our sudden explosions with an explosion of her own, then cursed us out. Her response may have been overkill, but I cannot help but think that we were not blameless either.

And so, I am looking for alternatives to fireworks, their noise, lack of longevity, and their pollutants.

I have mentioned the thought in passing to a few people in the group and gotten shot down, "a light show just doesnt have the same feel as fireworks " So before I pursue conversation further, I figured it would be best to develop a more thorough proposal and I am hoping that you would be able to help me with that.

Anything like this available but in a cheaper form? Something I can hook up to my car/utv battery that is a fat beam like this.

I don’t even know where to ask this. I’m hoping there are some laser light show pros on this sub. I’m looking for a specific kind of projector (/“firefly” lights?). I want one where a lot of dots periodically combine perfectly to form a simple grid of sorts. Everything I see on Amazon and elsewhere has this issue where the dots get close but never perfectly combine/converge. (To be fair, I found some that did perfectly combine but there were only 4 dots…) It’s really hard to describe so let me post an example. I found this after hours of searching on YouTube: https://youtu.be/6K36o0e45HQ?si=ShJEhdgzAQeJTJmb

Unfortunately it’s an obscure channel and there is no info. The links posted in the description don’t work anymore either.

I don’t care about the number of colours or modes or patterns. I just want a relaxing, slow motion. A neighbour had this outside their home for Christmas long ago and I still remember how mesmerizing it was.

Any help would be highly appreciated. 🙏
