Flexi-Strip RGB30 1M

Flexi-Strip RGB is a waterproof, moisture-proof and dustproof flexible circuit board that incorporates a range of standard LEDs within a clear silicone tube. The encapsulated housing is rated at IP67, ensuring reliable performance in both internal and external applications. Self-adhesive tape attached to the back of each strip means it can be quickly and easily attached in any location. Flexi-Strip RGB holds up to 30 red, green, blue or white LEDs per metre – super bright LED versions are also available. Control is simple: a direct voltage feed can be used for continuous illumination or an Artistic Licence Rail-Pipe HC can be added to enable dimming via DMX.

Power-Drive PDX-UNI-DALI1

The Power-Drive PDX-UNI-DALI1 is a mains powered, single channel constant current driver for high power LEDs. It particularly useful for single colour LED fixtures in architectural applications. An internal switch allows control over the output LED current, which can drive 4 x 700mA LEDs, 6 x 500mA LEDs or 12 x 350mA LEDs in series. The Power-Drive is implemented as a DALI ballast which conforms to the DALI protocol. To find out more, please visit Artistic Licence online, where product details, specifications and datasheets can all be found.

Dali-Scope

Dali-Scope™ is an innovated handheld tool that enables you to test, programme and configure Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) devices all from a single unit. It is the first handheld tool designed specifically for DALI applications, allowing commissioning of DALI fixtures without need of a PC. The Dali-Scope™ features a bright LED display that is easy to use in low light conditions, a moisture-proof keypad with single function keys for ease of operation, and a programmable power-off timer to extend battery life (which is typically over 12 hours on a pair of AA batteries).

Rock Solid Ethernet

Rock Solid Ethernet™ is comprehensive guide to modern Ethernet technology written by our very own Wayne Howell, an expert in the field. With Ethernet technology becoming increasingly common in the entertainment field, it’s important that end users, specifiers, designers and engineers understand how it works. Rock Solid Ethernet™ covers everything from making an RJ45 cable to network topology and the use of radio links. It is divided into three sections: one dedicated to the needs of end users and specifiers, one for system installers, and one for manufacturers and designers. This layout enables you to quickly and easily find information that is relevant to you.

Sign-Control

Sign-Control™ is an advanced lighting controller suitable for various LED display applications. It is available in a DIN Rail case which can also be surface mounted. It features a DMX512 playback system with three pages of eight memories, each of which contains all 512 channels and an Independent Fade Time. A fourth page offers 6 additional sequences with variable step times and direction control, giving the user complete flexibility. The entire system is programmed by a single PC application, Sign-Edit™ (see below).

Rail-DMX-DSI

Rail-DMX-DSI gives the user control over four DSI circuits from a single DMX controller. Each DSI output uses one DMX channel, as DSI is a broadcast protocol. The Rail-DMX-DSI enables you to independently set the start address for each conversion channel, thus enabling custom patching. Like our Rail-DMX-DALI control, it features a ‘dimmer curve translation’ facility which converts a DMX curve into a DSI dimming curve. The Rail-DMX-DSI requires a 9-24V PSU. For full details, specifications and a datasheet download, please visit Artistic Licence online.
