[QUOTE="i13, post: 81814, member: 21708"] I'm assuming that you're consideering 240V controllers? Unfortunately they aren't particulatly suitable for anything that doesn't have 240V along the entire light set. If you do decide that you want 240V controllers then second hand is the way to go - it will save you hundreds and there are always forum members trying to sell them here. There's no real easy way to get Australian store bought lights working unless you buy all the same type at once. There are low voltage DC controller options (some from LOR, most not from LOR) that will replace the 8 function units that come with the light sets. The problem is that when you buy different light sets, they require slightly different voltages while the DC controller setup uses central power supplies. You can hack the light sets to get around this (I did) but it is not plug-and-play. There's also the problem that some light sets are wired differently to others and require a different type of DC controller. You can tell by the number of wires going to the first LED. I prefer the type that has 3 or more wires going to the first LED or 2 wires and no 8 function unit. Those sets with 2 wires AND an 8 function unit require the DMX-2 controller from Hanson Electronics. [/QUOTE]

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