[QUOTE="Prendy, post: 91498, member: 25942"] HI Mate, Welcome. If you want to get up and running this year, you'll need to move fast and get all Oz gear. I use a Pixlite 16 MkII from [URL]http://www.advateklights.com/[/URL] however if you just want to start with some mini trees, start off with a Pixlite 4. I used WS2811 LED strips, jump on ebay and search ws2811, there's plenty around. As OzAz said, use tree trainers. I got the open top ones from Bunnings, around $10 each. Wrap the string in a spiral and ziptie it on. You'll need a power supply. Again, ebay search for 12v 600w power supply. There's a calculator that tells you how much power you need, but for half a dozen mini trees, 600w will be plenty. I run mine from an old pc and just hook the controller up to that via Ethernet. I use Cat6 cable to send data and power to the trees, and decent gauge speaker wire to inject power. Make sure you have a think about connectors and waterproofing as well... Jump in chat and zoom as well, heaps of help around. I reckon we'll get you going in no time. [/QUOTE]

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