[QUOTE="Eastwood16G, post: 64816, member: 22227"] I've been where you are. You have listed the tech. What do you want to do with your display? That will tell you what lights you need and where. Only you and yours can decide what you want to display. The back stage tech stuff is logical and there will be lots of help at ACL. I have various BigW strings and Bunning strings. The BigW strings are good and easy to convert. I have not converted my Bunnings strings, there have been some concerns on the forum, but I'm uncertain. Your feeling may be right, there is an expense of coin and effort to converting stings when you could be buying pixels instead. I think you may find there are places in your display for 100 lamps on 1 channel, rather than 100 pixels on 300 channels. Anyway I have a so called RayWu 27CH controller, and I'm pretty good with a soldering iron, but I got two DMX36 controllers instead. I suspect that you will find you need your strings, ropes, etc. Budget for PSUs and cable. I think you'll find your 240V AC has a transformer that is 22/24V AC which will run on 27-30 DC. If you want a big Merry Xmas build a pixel array. Took me two days to build a 'Marry Xmas' using Bunnings strings about five years ago. Time wasted? Perhaps, but I still use it (2CH) Took about a week to build a 55x21 pixels array that displays anything you want (3465CH). I came to ACL wanting only pixels. I found that within my budget I only had an impressive array. Which was good for parties but I needed to power my legacy lamps to light up the park for Xmas. I hope that helps. R p.s. Pixels or not, budget for cables. [/QUOTE]

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