[QUOTE="the grinch, post: 88068, member: 21671"] Hi robert as many have said ask in chat, read manual , watch videos , and just plain googling stuff is extremely important tool these days . Great too hear you want to start small very wise ! As we all see a mega tree or matrix or similar and we want. Im guilty ! I personally use ebay stuff power supplies lights everything always trying too save so far really no problem s have also bought from raywu but for larger order . I use all 12v and ws2811 strip and single nodes and thats seems enough too keep my crazy light lady happy . I always try to recommend to anyone starting out buy yourself a controller a power supply and 1 or more strips of lights you dont need to spend all your hard earn cash at once . Then wire them plug them in and start trying to control them ! I find it the best way to learn for me anyway I get lost listening too people . you can simply make a set of spiral trees using tomato planters from bunnings and pixel strip or leaping arches using electrical conduit and pixel strip reasonably cheap . As you may already know most of us use xlights or vixen software both certainly do the job myself am technology impaired lol even I can do it . Although struggle with vixen have used but am comfortable and confident with xlights . I feel anyone starting out now is a great time things have progressed in leaps and bounds over the last few years some stuff was basically impossible not long ago things definitely so so much easier and improving all the time . So have a go good luck if you like it then be prepared to want more and more and then spending lots of money ! Cheers [/QUOTE]

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