[QUOTE="christmasdave, post: 114833, member: 33949"] Hi :) I'm taking the plunge and have started researching and planning for next year for my first 'proper' light show. I've ordered a Node MCU, a small power supply, and a single string to play with and have started teaching myself xLights and playing around there. I've also ordered some lights (WS2811 strings) from Ray Wu store. Hoping to do the outline of the roof as well as some on the posts at the front of the house (budget limited). I'd love to do a tree, but not sure yet. I think I am going to go with the Falcon f16v3 or f48 depending on what setup I initially go for, as they both seem to have some good features and I know I will want to expand in the future. My biggest question at the moment is around all my old lights. [URL='https://youtu.be/IIeHy1RHo4k']Here[/URL] is a video from this year and as you can see, I do have a few lights I would like to re-use! From the 101 manual, I think I need a DC controller? And if I read correctly, the only one I should use is the [URL]http://www.hansonelectronics.com.au/product/dmx2-18/[/URL] ? is that right? I did see [URL='http://www.christmascreations.net.au/dc-controller.html']http://www.christmascreations.net.au/dc-controller.html [/URL]and was wondering if that would work? Let me know if anything I said is wrong or if I am on the wrong track :) Thanks! [/QUOTE]

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