Let's do this!
Last year, my first light show year, 95% of my display was AC, with the only DC items being a couple DMX controlled dumb RGB floods running off of one 12v supply. The question that I am leading up to assumes that as last year my 120V AC to 12V DC power supply was always plugged in, and essentially wasting power when the show was not running.
This year I am planning that much more of my display will be DC components.
I am wondering if leaving all the AC-to-DC power supplies plugged in to constant power all the time is the best strategy, or is it something like the LOR 16 channel DC board that I have no experience with? If the latter, how to I sequence these components; sequence the DC power on 100% of the show and use DMX RGB channels to sequence the actual light activity? Or should I have the AC-to-DC power supplies plugged in to my LOR AC boards and again just have them sequenced as on 100% of the show?
I'm a bit lost here...
Thanks!
