Hi guys, Great controller. Many thanks for previous support by email. I have a pixlite16 and i am looking at spotlights. Does this mean that the DMX output on the pixlite will be able to run rgb spotlights or am I not on the right track?

Yes they can run the spotlights :) I have 6 spotlights running off a Pixlite4, daisy-chained. The power comes from various PSU's along the house (mine are 24V).

Thanks Shell- I would also be interested in knowing which spots you use, also which controller you used to run them?

Remember to ask Ray to set the DMX start address on the spotlights for you. Off the top of my head I think he does that.

I am looking at getting 16 5v ws2811 pixel nodes . Will the dmx output still be able to run a 12v spot. I assume I would just power them externally from the pixlite. Or do I need 12v pixels?. I have two 5v power supplies at home that's why I opted for the 5v pixels.
