Still bored (and still in Facebook Jail, lmao*) and still going through on old HDD looking at old links and came across big clive's site, which I'd forgotten about... which led me to his YouTube channel... and the below video. Might be useful for some. I'd always wondered how it worked.



*note to self: never, ever argue with an idiot. Especially one who thinks that CV19 is spread by 5g signals.

I’d love to have some arcline, was looking for some a while back but seems there’s none around anymore.

I had a few pieces, once, not quite sure what happened to them. They were really a little to fragile for touring, great for a club install. I’m pretty sure one of the venues in the gay village here in manc still has about 8 pieces running up an outside wall! also had a rare DMX Arcline controller for a bit. Great effect, you could probably make something pretty similar with some high power leds these days but nothing will ever have the same hit as a xenon flash tube.
blah blah blah blah blah......

The End had 2 runs of it going down the middle of the dancefloor. Always reminded me of Battlestar Gallactica (80s version) Viper launches.

  The first pub I had a residency at had the back fitted room fitted out as a small club and had loads of this in a zig zag pattern like a big lightning bolt across the ceiling above the dancefloor, I used to love bringing all the lights down during a breakdown so that the room would be pretty much pitch black and then I'd trigger the arcline to the beat when the bassline kicked back in, good times!

I've still got the brochures for arc line I had off the stand at PLASA! They also did some individual strobe pod thingies you could use off the same controller

I had a cart load of it at one point (about 30 x 1mt lengths)  I sold a lot of it to someone one here, can't remember who though

Never criticise another man until you've walked a mile in his shoes. Once you have, call him what you like, you're a mile away and you've got his shoes!

I've got a few single pods but they are mains voltage fixed frequency, not arcline. I use them as comms strobes

We had a load of this going around our tri-lite rig and it was controlled by one of the 0-10v analog outputs of our Pulsar masterpiece 216 (triggering on the bass beat) and we also did the same type of control with our two central effects (Taz Syncro's). Spent a lot of time programming it, but the end result was amazing. Happy days. Clap
