[QUOTE="Kaden, post: 30219, member: 1580"] Yes, you cut the controller off them and wire to any DC controller (that supports that voltage). LEDs are DC devices anyway, the strings have a rectifier somewhere (I assume in the controller) to convert the AC to DC. You need to run them at 30v because 24v AC is the average voltage of the alternating wave of electricity, there is a more technical answer, I just can't recall it at the moment. Members have reported exciting (ie flash/bang/smoke) things with the newer style switch mode power supplies (SMPS) found on the majority strings these days. The SMPS don't handle dimming or twinkling well at all so if you have the know how, just convert them to DC. Make sure you check out the wiki and more importantly the the ACL 101 Manual here http://auschristmaslighting.com/forums/index.php?topic=1889.msg15570#msg15570 Finally, we are all happy to help you with any questions you have (even if you think they are stupid) or if you get stuck.

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