We have spent the first part of the summer with a black stage. A couple of weeks ago I added a 20′ X 10′ cross made out of light bulbs. The original concept was to use standard 100 watt bulbs. After thinking about it, I decided to go with a 12″X 1″ showcase bulb (I only paid $3.25 per bulb from a local supplier). The showcase bulbs added a very sculptural effect to the cross. The sockets, purchased from Ikea, come with a 15′ long cord on them. I laid a 10′ section of Unistrut on the stage floor, measured out the cross and attached the cords with black zip ties.
Jason,
How did you wire them? Did you take off the connector and wire them together, or did you run them all to a central location in the cross? I love the look.
Louis
they are randomly dived into 4 circuits. plugged into power strips and then into our dimming system.
Hey J,
Do you remember what supplier you purchased the bulbs from? Love this, Looks wicked man
Thanks! I purchased them at a local, very old school, vender down town chicago. you can get them here the price is comparable to what I paid.
