[QUOTE="roy, post: 103411, member: 29813"] Welcome, I too am new this year... I recon there are a few key things to think about before embarking... How much do you want to spend, it can be expensive, do a budget as it is a key factor in the layout of the house Before turning a light on you will need ; - A pixel controller (most go for falcon and best for support on this site) - A PSU power supply.. people get caught up on Volts but all I will say is both work, one can send power further (less injection) and no real price difference.. for ease go for the 12v - Some wire (18awg) - A computer and potentially a raspberry if you wish to play your sequences on something other than you PC (if you use your PC for other things in evening you may not want to tie it up) - Pixels, check out ray wu site to get a feel for ws2811 pixel prices - Soldering iron is a must as is cable strippers - FM transmitter (if you want to broadcast you music) and speaker for garden. then its down to what you want the house to look like, from boyosco type cutouts, to leaping arches to trees and a megatree. Its a lot of fun, highly addictive and a very supportive group... always someone on chat who is there to help. I did think recently the beginners manual should be titled.. what to do with $3000.00 and 300 hours to spare ... Doesn't have to be that much but it is addictive and adds up :) [/QUOTE]

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