    AC dimmed mains to DMX out converter?

    Agreed.. It was a specific request from a customer. I don't know exactly why they asked for this, but I'm guessing they don't have DMX infrastructure on his set (I think it's some kind of TV production set) and they want to install some DMX controlled lights. I spent a little time searching for...

    AC dimmed mains to DMX out converter?

    Does anyone know of a box that will take dimmed AC mains in, and as a result, send out a DMX data stream that can be used to run a light such that the light appears to be being dimmed by the original AC mains dimmer? I can't seem to find one of these, but I suspect they must exist.... Thanks in...

    Replacing our conventional fixture down wash with LED

    Would these be a possibility? https://www.rosco.com/lighting/mirocube4c.cfm?menuReturn=lighting They come standard with a lens set that includes a 60 degree flood. MSPR is $875, but I think you can get them for less than that.

    Control/Dimming LED dimming

    The "pop on" problem you're talking about isn't with the LED's in the fixture, it's with the electronics that control them. Most LED fixtures use PWM to control the brightness of the LED's. As was stated, PWM is a scheme where the LED's are turned "on" and "off" fast enough that you can't really...

    Control/Dimming Contact Closure Conversion

    A PhotoVoltaic Isolator maybe? These are pretty interesting little devices that take a low level DC input signal and use a PhotoVoltaic process to generate an isolated DC voltage output. http://www.irf.com/technical-info/appnotes/an-1017.pdf page 3 of that pdf shows how to use a PVI5080N to...

    Generic LED par repair question

    An intermittent caused by temperature cycling is most likely an IC. On the inside of those chips are a die (the silicon logic/smart part) but there are also very fine wires that connect spots on the die to the legs of the IC. Those wires are "bonded" ( Wire bonding - Wikipedia, the free...

    Looking for low-profile LED fixtures to light a fabric set - recommendations?

    Control/Dimming Dimming 12v battery source

    If you're an ebay'er, try searching for "PWM controller". Here's an example of one: PWM Dimming Controller For LED Lights or Ribbon, 12 Volt 8 Amp, 3301 | eBay As was already mentioned, this sort of thing can also be found at on-line hobby/robotic stores (of which there are many). It'll be hard...
