[QUOTE="JacksonHo, post: 133050, member: 37837"] Hi and welcome, I started small last year and late. Most of my planning, buying and installing was done in the last weeks of November and tweaked how I went. I've got a bit of a background in programming and electronics so that made it a bit easier but to be honest people answering here and in the chat were what made things work for me. Head over to the chat when you get a chance and read the 101 manual. I've started in August this year as I already know where I want to improve my show and I enjoy it so might as well do it when I have time. My show won't go up until November regardless. Best to buy all online assuming you want to do full controlled lighting rather than just normal lights from Bunnings / Kmart etc. I got a HE123 board and BBG from Hanson Electronics and most of the pixels, power supplies and cables from Light it Up LEDS. You probably have time to buy from China if you really want seed pixels but otherwise for small amounts (a few thousand pixels) and in bullets you are getting the same sort of prices off Paul at Light it up as you do from China, plus Paul's service is awesome. I did a lot of DIY props last year as I was doing roof lines, mini trees, matrixes and arches but if you have the cash you can buy a few things from Coro vendors to make it easier but some of us like to build stuff where we can.

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