[QUOTE="pog, post: 71255, member: 24452"] Hi all, Just thought I'd drop in and introduce myself. I have checked out the boards a couple of times over the last year or so, but only decided to join a few days ago. I've always loved doing Christmas lights. [font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]My partner (now husband) took a little convincing when I first moved into his house, but by the second year I had given him a bit of the Xmas light bug. His only rule was that everything had to be solar powered, which was fine by me. At least I got to do lights :P[/font] [font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Now we have given a few of the neighbours the bug as well, which is great, but some of them are getting too good. The competitive streak in me is wanting to go bigger and better. Our solar lights are looking very dull in comparison and seem to be breaking far to often. To my surprise, this year for my birthday my husband bought me a LOR 240V AC controller. True love is surely when you let your wife use the electricity to run her Xmas lights. :P[/font] [font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]After looking around the forums, we have come to realise the 240V AC controller isn't as great as my husband first thought it was when he bought it (and that most people have moved to DC controllers), however, we are determined to give it a go and use it as a learning experience. Electronics was not one of my best subjects in high school (which was a fair while ago now), but my husband knows a little from doing engineering at uni. I managed to find a few sets of static string LED lights to avoid having to mess around bypassing multifunction controllers, and they appear to have fairly good transformers attached to them. I'm hoping these will run ok, though I'm assuming dimming will be a no go. Does anyone know anywhere to get some lights that I can use with the AC controller that are able to be dimmed?[/font] [font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Anyway... thanks for reading. Wish me luck for my first year of programming lights. :)[/font] [/QUOTE]

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