[QUOTE="i13, post: 72825, member: 21708"] I just checked K-Mart (see my post above). They seem to have pretty much the same icicles as Target except that they're $17. Target has pure white and K-Mart has warm white. Both places have multi-coloured sets. Coles (I think) has 3.9 metre icicle sets for $20 but they usually have left-overs selling out for $10 after Christmas. All of the above have three wires. Please do keep giving info. I'm sure it is correct but I wanted to point out the changes since. I was actually very pleased to see someone else answering questions in detail in the new members' section of the forum as I'm pretty much the only person who does that :). If you're prepared to spend that much money then you'll get a fantastic display running with a bit more technical knowledge that you'll pick up around here in time for next year. Buying hardware directly from LOR is a relatively expensive option. Yes their AC and DC units can run in the same chain and they can also run with DMX input if you have a crossover cable. 24V DC supplies are probably not enough. I run everything at 31V but that's relatively high. An adjustable 27V supply should have enough range to cover what you need but don't invest in too many until you know. Careful where you buy power supplies from. They can be dodgy so don't go there unless someone else has tried them alongside other hardware that might be affected by the 'noise' they give off. The voltage for each particular light set is slightly different so you'll need to use diodes or (worst case scenario) cut out a few of the LEDs or replace the resistors in the light sets. Electricity is a flow of electrons. The voltage is the difference in electric potential between any two points of the circuit. Increasing this potential increases the current. The current flow is what actually makes circuit components like LEDs work. If there is too much current they'll get damaged and if there isn't enough current they'll be too dim or not turn on. Therefore you need to get the voltage right so the current is correct. And sorry Nate if this is taking over your thread. [/QUOTE]

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