Hi All,
Im new to this so please bare with me...
just looking for some advice regarding choosing an AC controller or DC controller. I was originally going to purchase the 24 channel DC controller however I wouldn't of been able to use some of my existing lights for example the rope silhouette lights I have only have a standard 240v plug on it and does not have a step down control box before powering the light. then I considered buying x3 8 channel AC controllers so I could use the silhouette lights and anything with a standard plug. I thought this was is going to be much easier however after reading on Syncrolights website about the potential delays on the low voltage lights which I have tested and im getting around a 2sec delay now im a bit stuck on what to do. now im back considering the DC controller and doing away with the rope silhouette lights but the issue I have now is the mix of voltage I have for example I have 2 sets of 5 light up candy canes which on the transformer plug states output 31v, x3 stars output each 16v, string lights ranging from 12v to 24v. just need some advice on what to do about the different voltages I have and what power supply I would need to power the 24 channel DC controller.
Apologies for the long post just want to get it right from the start
Many thanks
