The Marty Fan has gone several upgrades over the years. We now use an aluminum frame which is made up of 8 sections that can be bolted together. The 16 LED strip lights are housed in aluminum tracks and covered by an opaque plastic housing for protection. A single 16 channel Alpha Pix controller runs the Marty Fan. Two additional strip lights are used across the top arches with a separate LOR controller for each 16 ft. strip. Back in the third year we used a 2″ PVC frame pictured below which we put C-5 LEDs on 16 channels, with two strings of white C-6 across the top. The Diameter across the fan was 20 ft. There were 8 strobes inset into the fan also.
This plywood has lasted two years without any problems. It’s a piece of birch and attached with ties wraps.
