Added new lights to the Hicendia

This weekend Olivia, Maximello, & I added new lights to the Family room. These are really neat Color Kinetics lights that are DMX addressable and each has the ability to produce 16.7 million colors. I had kept these fixtures off the job we designed and installed in London. They were extras that got ordered but were not needed.

(You can see job photos here....

I bought the controller wheel off from ebay. We wired this in, and the power supply sits in the basement, with the wire running through the house walls and along the beams. We are very happy with them and they make the room fun. Here are some not great photos (too lazy to set up the tripod) that I took late last night, but they give you an idea how the look of the room changes.


There is also the ability to have the lights transition over settable periods of time, (so the room gradually changes color), or run a chase where the colors pass from light to light and run around the room. There is a dim-able white setting, strobing, and a host of other features in these lights. Since each has it's own address, you can get a computer interface that allows you to tell each light what color to be and at what intensity.



This is the controller interface in the wall.....

We are using these lights more and more, as they are dependable and produce a wonderful effect. Check out what we did with the terminal at LAX and the new Wynn install in Vegas...

Ciao for now....

Hymn Sing at Verizon Arena (or so we thought)

We thought there was a Hymn -sing at the Verizon Arena, so Olivia and I went. Turns out it was the Trans Siberian Orchestra......
The guys rock and really put on a great stage show. Would
HIGHLY recommend seeing them if you can. If not, buy the Lost Xmas album. Amazing lights, lasers and FIRE!

Welcome to a complete waste of time and keystrokes

Strongly Suggested That You Read Something Else.....

Many people are far better at these kind of things and are more than willing to open the trench-coat in front of others. Please go read their blogs at once. Nothing to see here people....
