Ish, my suggestion - stick to the colors you know and avoid confusion and possible injury or damage. In south africa we also use green/yellow, blue and brown and I just changed everything to that standard. Much safer and keeps my DC and AC lines separate so I dont accidentally mix things up...

Prof, you are indeed correct. Black is live or active or phase. White is neutral. Green is earth or ground. https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/reference/chpt-2/wiring-color-codes-infographic/ Regards and be safe.

LOR replacements are really expensive so I replace a couple of my strings with these from Ray: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/5m-LED-Digital-strip-with-6803-IC-30pcs-5050-SMD-per-meter-DC12V-input-with-silicon/701799_306377966.html I have also used these with the CCR controllers with...

I just download everything - same bandwidth as watching it and then edit it later to keep the good bits. JDownloader works brilliant on any YouTube video (version 2).

I would actually love to buy those of you if you don't mind shipping them to South Africa.

Hi, I will be up for 2 of each please. Thanks Charl

I would love to have a look and listen too. Thanks

Done, since I cant do a show this year I can contribute to another ;D

Last show for 2014 is coming up 31 December and because I battled a lot with getting decent video I have decided to just post what I have. Please excuse the overlays on some as I simply could not get the panel brightness correct. Had a major number of visitors this year so I will have to look...

I am using a Canon 5D Mk3 at 6400 ISO 1/250 shutter and 4 aperture. Think I am going to try the early morning thing and see if that works.

This is driving me up the walls. I cannot get a video of my show as the relative brightness of the elements just seem to baffle each camera I have thrown at it (literally almost tried this last night). http://youtu.be/6PzKp81HoEI This video does not do the show justice but at least the...

I have been trying in vain to record my show for the last 10 days but my camera just does not want to cope :( This is my latest attempt and if I set the exposure down the scene goes out of focus even with the camera on infinity. This is driving me nuts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUk3skXxAPU

do you have a delivery address for me? All I have at the moment is the info from your profile. You can mail me at charl.marais@axxess.co.za

Hi Shell, sorry bout the delay - I am working shutdown at the moment 6 to 6 and we had and explosion during our shutdown activities where some people got injured. Been really hectic here and tired people make mistakes. I have not heard from TNT but DHL is crazy expensive so I will try and...

Ok seems as if shipping is cheap using the postal service but as usual they are striking again and time might be a issues. I have contacted both DHL and TNT to give me courier quotes. Hope to have a reply on Monday. Kind regards Charl PS: I am really sorry but government services in South...
