Re: Power Inserter needed for SWM tripod antenna
Finally got it to work. Connection as follows: SlimLine antenna with SL3S (1 eyeball) LNB to Splitter SWM 4 way IN; OUT to Power Inserter Power to SWM port to Power Inserter Signal to IRD (Sat Receiver) Sat 1. After connecting this way, I no longer got the screen message: CANNOT DECTECT SWM, but I did get a message to not connect B Band Converters. I still hadn't aimed the dish properly, but as soon as I did, the signal meter on the Sat Receiver starting showing a signal. Fined tuned the signal by making small adjustments on the dish azimuth and elevation. Locked in all satellites. In my case those satellites are: 99(c); 101; 103(ca) and 103(cb). Got HD on all channels I subscribe as well as locals and national networks (east). All is good.270Views0likes0CommentsRe: Power Inserter needed for SWM tripod antenna
I have connected everything together and get the following message on the DTV receiver: CANNOT DECTECT SWM. Here's my connections: Slimline antenna with new SL3S (single eyeball) LNB to Power Inserter to Splitter SWM 4 way to DTV model H24/100. This receiver works on my house dish, but not on Slimline dish mounted on the tripod. I've tried with and without the Splitter. Am I getting the message because: 1. the dish hasn't been pointed at the satellite (101) properly or 2. I have something not working in the connections or I've connect something wrong/271Views0likes0CommentsPower Inserter needed for SWM tripod antenna
I just upgraded my SWM mounted tripod antenna to a SL3S LNB to receive HD on DTV. I understand I'll run one RG6 cable from LNB to the Power Inserter and then to my HD DTV receiver. I also purchased a Splitter SWM 4 way, which I assume will allow me to run 2 HD DTV receivers at the same time. Any thoughts?1.7KViews0likes9CommentsRe: bright enough?

Whatever you decide on, buy 1 or 2 and try them before buying a whole bunch. 5050 LEDs although better than 3528 LEDs are not all that efficient. 5050 LEDs are .22W each and only give off about 10-15 lumens per chip. on the other hand there are much more efficient LEDs, if you can find modules which use 5730 LEDs you will be much better off. 5730 LEDs are 1/2W each and can net you about 100-120 lumens per watt. Basically 6 of the 5730s can give you more light than 48 of the 5050 LEDs.. Color, well that is up to you but LEDs really vary drastically in the color aspect.. 3000K to 4000K will get you pretty close to incadescent and 5000K-6500K is going to get you the harsher blue/white color.. Seems like you know what your talking about. I'm trying to replace the halogen bulbs in the puck style ceiling fixtures of my RV. I've tried various LEDs and had problems they seemed darker (less light) or harsh color. The fixtures use a G4 2 pin mount on the side. I need a pancake array. From you quote it appear I should buy: 1. Get an array of at least 6 LEDs 5730 type. 2. The 5730's should have a color temperature around 3000K to 4000K to get incandescent light color that is not too harsh. Do you have a suggestion on purchasing source?370Views0likes0Comments
