[QUOTE="Iain, post: 135869, member: 28267"] Hi and welcome! That's a nice bright display. Do you want to completely replace it with pixels, or mix both together? Now is the time to go visiting and see how different people put their displays together. Have a look at the display locations, let us know what suburb you're in, and there's sure to be someone nearby. They may be happy to show you behind the scenes. Generally it all comes down to these main parts: controller, power supply, pixels. What you do after that (props, cables, boxes, connections, etc.) is up to you! There's a [URL='https://auschristmaslighting.com/wiki/AusChristmasLighting-101']101 manual [/URL]which can help. Have a look at the suppliers section for Aussie suppliers - There are pre-made boxes, although they're not too hard to put together yourself. 240V is the part to beware of (get an electrician). Finally jump on xLights and design your house in 3D the way you want it to look (start small). Pick a pixel spacing of 1" - 3" (smaller for near the street, larger for back to the roofline). The idea here is that you can measure the string lengths and count the pixels that you want, and then participate in one of the bulk buys that come up early in the year. [/QUOTE]

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