Hi all, This is Dickie - the designer of this led lighting system on Harold's wheel. There are 256 clear led tubes, each with 144 led's. Thats 48 red, 48 green and 48 blue. We used a usb to dmx interface with plenty of memory and programmed about a 10min show. (We just keep playing with it till we get tired or the memory gets full). Any tube can be replaced without pre-computer setup. All the addressing is done in the dmx stage and 12 tube controllers are used on the axle. Where we don't need 3phase anymore - just single phase 3 wire, we used the extra two remaining rings for dmx to control wall washers aiming down on the platforms. Yes, although the colors are very rich and very bright when all white, there is not much light given off, so we use wall washers that project color. We will be tearing down under led white light for the first time and we'll be back with how that worked out. Ya'll have fun!
