[QUOTE="i13, post: 121578, member: 21708"] Welcome to the forum I can probably help with this but I need a bit more information in order to figure out what you need. for traditional LED strings, I can suggest hardware if I know: [LIST] [*]The number of wires between the original blinker unit and the first LED [*]The output voltage of the blinker unit [/LIST] If this is a low voltage traditional LED string, I would suggest DC control. You can replace the blinker unit with a different power supply and a DMX512 controller. DMX signal supports 512 channels but you'll need multiple controllers to make use of that total. As an estimation, if you use two channels per light set, you can have 256 light sets before you need to add a second DMX universe. DC control with DMX is good for covering large areas. You can have a long wire between a DC controller and the LED lights plus the DMX signal travels a very long way. Pixel lights are popular here. They allow individual control of the colour and brightness of each LED. If this interests you, you'd need to add E1.31 to your setup because pixels consume too many channels for DMX512 to be practical. The reason that I mention this is that some pixel controllers can output DMX512 signal. I suggest avoiding the word "strip" when describing LED strings like what you pictured. Strip lighting is different and it is also commonly used in this community. [/QUOTE]

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