Chase Glisson from Anchor Faith Church in St. Augustine, FL brings us this cool LED rope light design.
They used 12 LED rope lights and 42 LED puck lights to create their stage. They first had to build a metal stud wall that was 28×20 feet to hang all the fixtures from and hide the cords. Then they attached the LED rope lights and programmed them.
Could you give a link to the specific rope lighting and puck lighting you used?
Hey man we got everything off amazon

Looks awesome, any issues with video flicker on the puck lights? If not, those are amazing value for architectural lighting.
No flicker from the pucks, the only problem we have with them is they don’t dim the smoothest at the lower settings.
Thanks so much!
Do you need a power supply for each individual Strip?
Yea you need one for each
Hey there, did you add anything on top of the lights? like frosted acrylic or something so you dont see the individual leds?
also are the power packs for the decoder units?
We didn’t cover the fronts with anything no. And yes the power supplies is for the decoders and the led strip
Did you have to purchase multiple Decoders to power all the different strips?
I was wondering the same thing, also, are they really that bright? Those seem to look like LED bars rather than the tape with individual LEDs themselves.
They are 24v led strips not the 12v ones most people get. That’s why it’s so much brighter!!
Yes there is one decoder per strip!
Hi! Love the design! I bought some of the puck lights to test them out on our stage. I’m having some trouble patching them into our digital light controller (we use a Martin controller). Have any suggestions, or explanation how you patched them in? I’m good with the dip switches and addressing, it’s just the profile in which you patch it – that’s where I think I’m missing something. Thanks for any help you can give!
we patched ours as generic RGB with a dimmer
Thanks for the reply. I tried patching it into a ChRGB (Intensity, R, G, B) and it didn’t work. I think it might be the fixture itself…did you have any problems with the dip switches?
We’re having the same problem. We’d love more info on how you guys patched these fixtures.
Hmmm I’m not sure i did notice with some of them i had to cut off the DMX dip and cut it back on to get them to read
With the power supplies, did you just cut the connector off and attach the stripped wires to the terminal on the decoder?
Exactly!
Is there any chance of seeing these in action on video?
Here is a highlight of a conference we had back in January https://www.facebook.com/anchorfaith/videos/vb.492363864275130/937436733101172/?type=2&theater

What kind of material was use to the structure? wood?
Hey is it possible to get the specifications of the build?
That would be amazing!

YO!
Wanted to see what you recommend as getting for the rope/strip lights now? Some of the equipment you guys used isn’t available anymore! Also wanted a kind of better description on how you guys hooked it up to your lighting software?
We run a lot of DMX, but we are trying to see how we would run this setup.
