Does sound a bit like some of the "browser search assistant" problems I've dealt with. These don't just come with nasties or bad sites or crook downloads - a good example is the Ask toolbar that gets installed with Adobe Acrobat(unless you pay attention and tell it not to). Some of them get a...

???? Sorry if I annoyed you - I reread the original post and it sounded like the original question was after something different than everyone was answering. My understanding was that the Mfc in some cases converts low voltage ac from the plug pack to dc as well as applying the various...

Hmmmm...you said "directly to the PSU".... Just want to clarify - are you running the lights directly(chopping off the Mfc) and having them always on, looking at getting rid of the wall plug(and using the mfc) or running the lights through a controller? Edit: Just reread - sounds like you're...

Looks like the same PSU I'm using. I've got 80 sets of bigw lights and six LOR DC controllers running at 30v on two power supplies quite happily. Most load on one supply is three controllers and 46 strings.... Cheers!

Mmmmmmmm.........sharpening gear........that's another type of workshop madness....stones, strops, guides, abrasive polishes, rouge.... Cheers!

Hmmmm........pumpkin'ed blowmould sounds like an interesting start.......should be plenty bright enough..... Cheers!

Have you tried the smaller switch on its own(make sure it functions)? Also, what about switching the switches around(daisychaining the big switch from the small one). Note that this might work but could be a performance hit(if the smaller switch is a cheapie). What about trying different...

I have my show laptop running the show scheduler all the time, power supplies and amplifier are on timers. Timers turn on and off about an hour before and after the show. My biggest concern with this setup is timers getting out of synch due to power outages(reasonably common up here in storm...

A better tool box or organiser case for tools/bits? Pegboard and hooks? Cheers!

A proper wire stripper? One of those fancy cable tie pliers? Cheers!

You can easily spend weeks doing a "quick" trip around the south island..... Cheers!

Just having a look at that first piccie - would it be difficult dropping 240v into the cube from the ceiling? Cheers!

Just saw this thread - I use a similar idea for camping lights on the motorbike. Essentially a old/retired 12v motorcycle battery(7200Ah) with one of Ray Wu's package deals(mini rf controller + 100ct dumb node string). Packaged up in a small boat battery box and a few waterproof connectors...

While I remember - the other thing I've seen is "gift" and no value recorded..... Cheers!

Sometimes I wonder if they aren't putting down their buy cost rather than the sale price.....??? Cheers!
