Re: DMX question
Unless you want your wash lights to be just on or off, what you need is a dimmer. AC Dimmers aren't something you want to build youself; if your existing dimmers don't cover your needs your best bet is to buy a small 6-pack dimmer. This will take DMX and AC in, and give you a controlled AC output suitable for connecting lights to.
Now, as the matter of building your own lights... even this can have pitfalls, unless you are experienced with high-temperature wiring, and metal work. If you idea is to mount sockets in a wooden box, DON'T do it. I'm sure you don't want to be liable for any fires that it might start.
Now, if you want to do something with low-voltage LEDs, that's another matter... but since you mentioned 250W lights, I have serious concerns.
