[QUOTE="jimmyslights, post: 120236, member: 35486"] Hey folks, Thanks so much for the warm welcome to ACL that I have received! I thought I'd better share a bit about myself and the history of my display :) I am based at Noarlunga which is in the Southern Suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia and have been putting on "traditional" 240v Christmas lights displays on for almost 12 years. My display mostly has had LED fairy lights (strings and icicles), rope-light motifs and inflatables however, this year I have decided I would like to make the move to a pixel display, possibly integrating the older lights I have to work side by side with the pixels (with a bit of rewiring and suitable power supplies). The reason I have chose pixels is not only do I love the look of them compared to 240v lights, I love the ability we have to synchronise them to music and actually put on a show rather than just a static display. So far I have made a few purchases to try and get started on my upgrades (Raspberry Pi, PixelPi from [USER=12]@SmartAlecLights[/USER], USB Sound card and some 3m strips of WS2811) and have also acquired some tint tubes from a local business who happened to be throwing them out at the perfect time. If anyone happens to have any recommendations on things to buy or if they are selling anything they believe may be able to help me out in getting started or just advice in general, I would massively appreciate it. I am starting to try sequencing using XLights and I am finding this to be an incredibly user friendly system, which is awesome as I don't have as much spare time these days due to work to get really in depth with the nitty gritty side of it as much (although I can where I need to) :) Looking forward to chatting with you all some more and can't wait to see what everyone has in store for the upcoming season! - Jimmy :) [/QUOTE]

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