New Lighting Towers

[Randy A]

Sorry for the quality, but I took a 'quick peek' photo for you. I'll be spending this week upgrading a few of my plug-n-play options that I use; should cut off a few minutes of set up time. Also, need to do some touch up painting and replacing of some corners on the speakers.

Hey Randy if you get a wild hair up your arse can ya shoot some video of 'em in action too?

 

[Randy A]

I'll give it a shot. I've not ever used the video option on the camera, but there's always a first time for everything.

You know I was just thinkin... and it's scary in there... but, I think those lights would look real cool with some sort of speaker grill over them.... you know the type with large grills.... or even some sort of designer cover like the pro-car audio guys use... to dress them up a bit.

In your last pic they almost look like they have covers on a couple of 'em.

I know it would difuse the light a bit but the dress up would look cool IMHO.

That's not a bad idea --- I have access to a C&C router at work, I may make a few prototypes and see what it looks like.

I took a 60 second video of the towers in my garage tonight.

I tried the embed code from Photobucket, but didn't work. (at least I couldn't get it to work)

Even though they only weigh 38 lbs, they look kinda awkward to move since they're so tall. If it were me, I'd put a couple of casters on the lower back edge so they could be tipped back and rolled.

Jay - you been in my garage?

They were a tad awkward to handle. So, instead of putting legs on them, I put casters on the bottom of each tower. Then, I place them back-to-back and use a handy-dandy bungee strap (that I've attached on the inside of one of them) to secure them both together. They now roll very nicely!

Yeah, I was gonna steal one of your vertigos, but remembered I already had one.

 

[Randy A]

Darn popular light.

This is probably going to be a stupid question, but what are you using to make them flash... what hardware is it...
Thanks

 

[Randy A]

It's called a Co-Pilot and I use the optional wireless controller.

In the clip, they are running in chase mode, but I run them in sound active.

Randy:

Just showed your lighting boxes to Coreen (Wife/Boss) and she said to tell you.....COOL!

 

[Randy A]

You tell her I said 'Thanks!'

They make thier debut this Friday night, so expect some additional photos and some live video coming soon.
