[QUOTE="Bird, post: 30826, member: 1158"] [IMG]http://www.rjinc.us.com/images/Welcome.gif[/IMG] to ACL Neil & Kellie Sounds like you already have a fair idea on what you want in lighting. If you haven't found it yet the [url=http://auschristmaslighting.com/forums/index.php/topic,1889.0.html][color=blue]AusChristmasLighting 101 manual[/color][/url] is a great resource for information. LOR would be your best bet if you were using 240v lights. Other than that I would consider the DIY route for you. One of the things that need to be included in your thought process, you have a large amount of distance and area to cover, therefore you are going to need to locate controllers and power supplies out in the yard at various places semi-close to the low voltage light elements due to voltage drop issues. If you need help with voltage questions (sounds like you have that covered) it is in the 101 manual. As to what controllers and power supplies to use I will defer to the fantastic minds you have around you in southern hemisphere. :) Also as already suggested, the blinky head "mini's" are a great tool to see and touch for learning this hobby. If you can't wait for the mini, look at the 'Display Locations' (at the top of the page), find some that are close to you and send them emails, many will be glad to give you assistance. Due to the display size and area to cover you have a lot of work ahead of you for the first year. It will get easier each year after that. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your display. I like displays that are spread out in large areas. [/QUOTE]

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