Festoon 2 RGB
Color-changing outdoor lights where you can replace bulbs? Pixel control of each light? The Festoon 2 from Chauvet gives you exactly that with a few limitations.
From the Manufacturer:
From the GEAR Pro’s:
The Chauvet Festoon 2 gives you individual pixel control of RGB string lights. And that’s pretty cool.  We love that the bulbs can be replaced individually if broken.Â
They tend to work well, but there are (2) things about this particular light that we don’t love. The first is that they are IP54 – so they’re really not super-waterproof and aren’t for permanent install outside. The second is that the controller runs regular DMX instead of a network-based DMX. If you fill up your controllers with add-on lights, you’ll use 180 or more DMX channels per controller, and that’s a lot for one fixture, possibly requiring you to use Art-Net or sACN nodes to get enough channels.
Still, these are the simplest, easiest, out-of-the-box solution to get RGB string lights with individual pixel control.
Contact us if you’re looking for a permanent solution – there are other options out there using pixel controllers and RGB pixels that can be put together with network control and full IP65 waterproofing…and sometimes they even come in at a similar or lesser cost!Â
