Can everyone have a look at the list and see if it looks right. A couple of people didn't say yay or nay to the covers so I have assumed nay and it is shown in the list in red.

The latest list will be added to the 1st post in the topic each time there is a change. Payment details will go up tomorrow.

I haven't worked out what to do as far as shipping yet but the Aussie (and NZ) stuff will come to me and the US (and Canada) stuff will go to Bird and they will get distributed from there. If anyone is getting anything from BenBrown in the next few weeks it may be possible to get strobes sent in the same shipment.

So I was hoping to keep all my lighting at the same voltage (12v) however as these are 5v, I'd have to buy a separate PSU and controller for them. Anything else that could be utilised from the same PSU & controller?

I wouldnt bother about an extra controller, just use your normal 12vdc controller and instead connect a cheap 12vdc relay and control your strobes that way. Then all you need is a small cheap 5 volt power supply to power up the strobes

I have no idea where to get a delay or how to use it (n00b.) Do you have a link for the product?

A DC-DC converter and relay is a dead easy way of doing it. The DC-DC can provide the voltage conversion form 12V-5V and a relay off the 12V output of dimmer turns on the 5V to strobes.

you can get them from ebay fairly cheaply, all you need to use is just an automotive 12vdc relay like this one

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1x-12V-30-40-A-Amp-Car-Auto-Relay-Socket-5-Wire-5-Pin-5P-Automotive-Harness-/310940177711?hash=item48657a952f#ht_3023wt_1014


As far as how to connect it then refer to this diagram for what the pins do on the relay

[attachimg=1]

As alan mentioned you could also use a DC to DC converter to change the voltage from 12vdc to 5vdc and thus not needing an additional power supply

something like this
