[QUOTE="kevr, post: 103870, member: 8"] Hi Michael, What you are going to find is there are many choices for controllers and just as many opinions which is best, the reality is they are all great it just comes down to personal choice and what is best for the particular setup and budget. This hobby can get a bit spendy so be warned, it's like I told my son if anything happens to me don't sell my stuff for what I told your mother I payed for it!! I have come from the old DMX controllers and Vixen software running firstly modified LED strings to dumb RGB then to pixels so the way I do things is a little old school I'd say, I now use Pixlite controllers that have been fantastic for me and then converted to xLights. What I would say is things are evolving at a breakneck pace with xLights and Falcon Controllers, I'd suggest that Falcon are by far the most popular and therefore development on the units is the best supported and has a smooth interface to xLights. So what would I do if I were you, I'd buy a single controller and start playing with xLights and either use this year for learning and planning next years show or make a few props and run something small this year. The learning curve can be pretty steep getting your head around software and building props can all be daunting but there is usually help around if you are keen to get going. There are a few Kiwis around now so finding options for stuff is also a bit easier than it was. Welcome to the forum and you have a great looking space to fill with lights. Cheers Kev [/QUOTE]

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