Fw: Re: RGB lighting

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Of course - we'd need a second control wire to be able to tell the
rgb=20
what to do - ie from a DMX ?

Comfort could do that if a DMX controller had a serial input - but, I've=20
not put cat5 near these lights !


Hi,
The second photo shows the DMX driver for the lights mounted on the
same plate as the LED's - just needs ~24V and DMX.

I'm using xAP and a DMX software bridge but there are plenty of DMX
controllers around, including wall mounted ones which are about the
same size as a dual faceplate. I'm not sure about CBUS but I don't
think anyone has done a bridge yet.
