Each tube houses 144 blue, red and green diodes, weighs under 4lbs and is 40-inch long and 3-inch wide. The system features 16 pre-set patterns, chases, colour flows with variation plus blackout.An optional controller, sold separately, allows users to select specific colours, making this ideal for retail, sports and corporate events where brand identification is vital.
The tubes are sold in packs of four. Using just four tubes and selecting the first four addresses would display the four lower frequencies in the band. If you wanted to reflect frequencies across the entire sound wave, you would need to spread addresses in eight-digit increments. To do the same with 8 tubes, you would need to spread addresses in four-digit increments and in 2-digit increments with 16 tubes.
The tubes are water resistant, sustain wide temperature changes, are simple to install, and suitable for outdoor events. They are power-linkable. The diodes' life averages 100,000 hours.
