looking for a light that looks kinda like this...

Hmm...you could get some pars group them together with the colors you want and hook them up to a chase controller. Ill see if i can come up with anything else. Maybe like a traffic light?

you want something like a sound meter right. That may be hard to find. But that would be a cool effect.

the closest thing i can think of would be what amp said. but a simple chase would not do what you are looking for. another thing that would probably be close to that effect is some type of visualation on a computer and then projected onto a screen, but i don't know if you can get ecactly what your looking for

yeah thats exactly what i'm looking for.

thanks for all the replies. i really can't believe no one makes something like this.

I actually have an old chase controller that did an effect called "Color Organ" This made the parcans do something similiar, as the beat hit it would light up the first parcan then the second third and so on. The harder the beat, the more pars and the brighter they lit up......

Well anyway, maybe you can build your own, and use this to wire your own controller.
Note: I am not condoning rewiring of any electronics without the proper training. Taking apart and rewiring this unit would void the warranty.

these large meters are used in Car soundoffs as decibel meters. you might want to check that out.

I've never heard of any product doing this, but if you're adept enough with a soldering iron, and have a spare computer (an old pentium 2 will do fine), you could build a parallel-to-120v interface (12 triacs, 12 opto couplers) and just have the computer control them.

(I'll help you out with the software free of charge - I do dsp audio engineering for a living, so I have the modules ready to be put together.)

The parallel port could do 12 channels (so that's 12 mono lights or 2x6 lights for stereo).

The controller could look something like THIS:


Mine's working right now (although I'm controlling effects with it in a different manner.)

Has anyone thought about ADJ groov toobz? Sorry on the spelling just saw them yesterday. They are awesome! But I'm not sure how they are controlled.

Just did a little research on the site. They are actually called "Rainbow tubes" and the bad thing is they won't do what I thought they would. Still they are pretty cool though.
