[QUOTE="i13, post: 123053, member: 21708"] I'm one of the members who specialises in converting traditional LED strings to computer control and I'm happy to help with info that you need on this. I have posted more on the topic in this thread: [URL]https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/14138/[/URL] I should be able to help if you list the details that I requested there. I would advise against buying "plug and play" or "ready to run" options. They're for pixels anyway and that's not what you want for traditional strings. Vendors charge a premium for them and I don't see how they are anything more than a power supply, enclosure and an unconfigured pixel controller. They also eliminate the ability for you to choose the best power supply, enclosure and pixel controller for your needs. For software, I suggest downloading xLights and Vixen. xLights seems to be the most popular option on this forum although pixels again seem to be popular here. Both of these software options are free and they'll support your traditional LED strings. I agree with Pavle about finding a local display and getting a tour. Approximately where are you located? When someone takes an interest in my display (which is not running this year), it is a nice change to have someone who wants to know more about it. Most viewers just want to watch it and see the final result without caring how it works. [/QUOTE]

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