[QUOTE="IzzyEddy, post: 117200, member: 34982"] Sorry guys, got busy with some other stuff and then ended up going back to work on top of that. Thank you for the replies !! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Yes, 12V is the way to go, I just wasn't sure what Mark was using for his lights. Before ever looking into a permanent solution for Christmas / all year long lights. I was aiming to have everything ran from my wired computer. On the same network, I would have Wi-Fi connected controllers to run my various strings of lights. 1 for the upper (approx. 130'), 1 for the lower (100'), 1 for the garage (approx. 70') and 1 or 2 depending for my 2 trees (50' for each tree). This way, the majority of the strings would be available at any time for operation without network / power cables running everywhere. I have looked into various light options (LED C9 bulbs, pixels, etc.) a few years ago as technology has upped the ante for various lights and their capabilities. It wasn't until last fall when I found out that the incandescent bulbs were going to be discontinued that I REALLY started to look into this more. Some of the permanent solutions that I have looked at are as follows: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.gemstonelights.com[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://myeverlights.com[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.jellyfishlighting.com[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://celebright.ca[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.trimlight.com[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.oelo.com[/URL] This is where I was seeing their apps and the various light sequences that they have that I mentioned above. If they built it, then there has to be a way of creating something very close to what they have done but MUCH cheaper. I have priced a couple of them and WOW !! I liked the capability of using some of the sequences along with the dusk to dawn or timed on and off patterns, etc. For controllers, my past research ran across the Arduino but after more resent research there as been others that I have seen in various forums, etc. My biggest concern is the way the light is delivered to the viewers. With the C9 bulbs, the light is delivered from pretty much any angle and it is direct to the viewer. Some of the above permanent solutions do more of a wall wash (I am going to call it) with their lights which isn't direct to the viewer. I am concerned with losing the feel of the lights when viewed directly vs a wall wash type. Mark, it looks like your set up is direct as well to the viewer. There is just so many options now for lights, controllers, apps (if going in that direction), mounting solutions, etc. :confused: Thanks, Dean [/QUOTE]

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