[QUOTE="MikeKrebs, post: 137398, member: 23293"] Whatever you use to do your sequencing, you will have a lot of controller/wiring to think about. For example, maybe now you have 4 strands of lights plugged into each other and they stretch across the front of the building. Then you decide you would like a "4 count" of lights across the front of the building. Four ports are required and one extension cord to each set of lights. I ran through over 1000 feet 18 AWG wire when I did 48 ports of AC lights. Print several pictures of your layout space. Blob in the various things you light up highlighting in colors a "controllable unit". Figure out where you would put the controllers and start guesstimating the distances involved so you can load up on extension wire and plugs. Make sure your controllable units are within the current supply of the controllers per port and per controller. Likely when you start breaking down your 15,000 lights, you will find that to get the movement you are looking for, you might have to break them down into much smaller units than you previously did and subsequently need many more extension cords.

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
