Hi Kyle and welcome.

Best advise would be to attend a local mini and you will be able to gain heaps of information about this hobby.

Mini Christmas expos & events

A gathering of some of the craziest lighting hobbyists within your Australian state! Mini expos are usually held annually typically around May-July and are organised by a collaboration of members. Watch previous minis: Media category or AusChristmasLighting on YouTube

auschristmaslighting.com

You can order Falcon pixel controllers direst from www.pixelcontroller.com and I believe shipping will begin soon. Just note their is a new Falcon F16v4 about to be released (however the f16v3 is still a very capable controller and used by lots in this hobby).

Also check out the ACL 101 guide and there is also heaps of youtube videos available for lots of topics in this hobby, or you could also search for a local member in your area and reach out to them to see if they could provide some mentoring / advise.

If you are unsure of anything, you can always make a forum post, jump in ACL chat or drop into the xLights zoom room for guidance and help.

Hi Kyle,

Good time to start looking at what you want to do with your display as it is one of those things that can't happen over night!.

The Falcon Pixel controllers were originally part of an Australian Bulk buy where one of our members offered them here in Australia. Now they are sold directly to Australia on the pixel controller website (Refer to LDL's post)

If you can make it down to the Sydney Expo 2021 at Bella Vista, NSW it is the best two days that can happen to anyone starting the hobby. Not only does it have all the right information you may just pickup what you need in the lucky door prizes. https://acl-mini.com/index.php/sponsors/

You can find out more information on the Forum Thread https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/sydney-expo-2021-22-23rd-of-may.13565/

Or if you want to come along you can buy your tickets at acl-mini.com

If you can't make it we also host build parties in NSW where members can come and build a controller box, push some pixels or just socialise.

Hope to see you there!
