The Experience Lights Genius Pro 32 makes for a super clean 32 port 1200W build!

Really the only thing missing is fusing between the power supplies and controller which I will probably circle back and add.

Currently there is no venting. I will monitor temperatures during Halloween show and add if necessary.

I am building 2 of these this season, each one will power a custom matrix with over 8,000 seed pixels each.

I will post links to parts in comments!

Tomorrow (Friday) at Christmas Expo check out our class at 3:15 in the Bamboo room. This class is all about how to get started... all the things you need to know! But buckle up, we cover 3 hours of content in one hour! 🤣
Good thing we are the last class and have time for questions...
See you there!

Hi followers! We don't typically ask for anything on our facebook but this is actually a really good offer that supports our daughter's gymnastics team. It's BOGO for Domino's that works not just in Paris but almost 3,000 stores in the US for only $20.

We are working on off-season improvements to our permanent lighting. 2 of these boxes will control our new soffet mounted permanent lighting and simplify connecting some seasonal props. In each Zulkit box is an HP 460W power supply, a Wasatch Lights Bong69 8-port controller, and a pair of PiXeL Paradise USA ConnectGenie 4-port bulkheads. As you can see the bulkheads help make for a very clean install!
