[QUOTE="bpratt, post: 103417, member: 29688"] Once you decide on 12v or 5v for how you are going to power your pixels, for your first year, particulary if you already have plenty of Bunnings/BigW lights, just run your new pixel lights through a pixel tester. Your first year does not have to become the world's greatest light display. :) This means you don't need to learn how to use xlights/vixen straight away, it also means you don't have to buy a Falcon F16 <insert other brand/models of other controllers> right away. You can still buy all the props that you like, and get the guts of your display up and running. Likewise, you don't need to rush out and buy a FM transmitter or speakers out in your yard for this year. This is my first year with pixels, so I've got a stack of dumb led's here, and have been thinking of doing what I suggested above this year, although I will have a F16 to use on my display. It's up to you what you end up doing in your first year, but what you do this year will give you a big step up for next year though. :) [/QUOTE]

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