[QUOTE="i13, post: 69636, member: 21708"] I kept over 90% of my existing lights when converting to computer control without a single AC controller (although I have seen a display controlled with them). I use DC DMX controllers. This worked even though the low voltage plugpacks originally on the light sets had 24V (or somewhere near that) AC outputs. There aren't many things to check to see if your light sets will work with DC controllers: They must be low voltage (but can still originally be low voltage AC) There must be at least three wires between the multi-function controller and the lights (2 wires is ok if there is no multi-function controller) Resistors within the light set are preferable but you can add them if this becomes a problem. They are often hard to find. I suspect the YouTube videos are American where the postage and dollar value are less of a problem with LOR. I have read the LOR forums a lot and it's clear that so many of the members just don't know any different. Another reason the AC controllers are more practical in America is that (as far as I know) their 110V light sets usually don't have a low voltage plugpack. Some types of low voltage plugpacks are a fire hazard if dimmed with AC controllers and they can have a delay between their input and output. DC control gets around these problems. [/QUOTE]

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