Hi, Just introducing myself and a bit of a plug for a product I made.

[QUOTE="shirec, post: 88372, member: 26300"] Maby I am using the term cascade incorrectly. To simplify I believe he was talking about paralleling the data cables which I currently have done now in my garden numbering each light fitting from 1 to 11 or 1, 4, 7, 10 and so on. I think what people like to use for Christmas lighting is automatic DMX numbering where each light after the first is automatically numbered to the next fitting. This removes the requirement for a program for each fitting as each fitting is automatically numbered by each PCB following the chain. Kind of like how the WS2811/Ws2812B digital LED strips work. This is what I was referring to by cascading and its what I believe the in and out ports on the DMX PCB accomplish. It does make sense to use this system especially when dealing with say 100 lights. If you plugged them in each year in the same order then numbering them might work as well. Thanks for those links I might look into it in the future but at this stage, I think the market for it is so small that it is not worth modifying for others. It works in my situation which is fine for me now. I also got the reaction from you guys that I was looking for so I can understand what is good and bad about it which I really appreciate. I would be happy to help anyone out with the type of lights I am using or the PCB. I am easily contactable from my sparky page linked below. Would appreciate a like if anyone willing :). I post electrical related stuff every so often like downlights or home theater/automation related stuff. Happy to speak about anything really. Thanks for everyone's time and I'll try and contribute when I can. [/QUOTE]

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