They can run 100s of channels and support both AC and DC. I think the 16 channel DC controller will run a program in a memory so you do not need a PC to run it. That may be good for this building. There was a layout (in MR I think) that had a large number (30 plus as I remember) separate lighting channels that were looped around the layout. That way different light scenes in each area could be connected to different channels and times. All the light channels had different programs for when they came on and off. <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Light-O-Rama web site: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www1.lightorama.com/"> http://www1.lightorama.com/</a><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">This is a DC board with 16 channels. <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www1.lightorama.com/dc-low-voltage-boards/"> http://www1.lightorama.com/dc-low-voltage-boards/</a><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">A 25 pair telco cable and punch down blocks might be the ideal way to do this. Run the 25 pair cable between major scenery areas, use a punch down block at each area and then make the lighting connections from that. 25 lighting channels would enable a range of options, you could have 15-20 come on a different times and then go off at different times. These could represent office and living areas as well as businesses. You could have 5-10 that would turn on and off at either fixed or “random” periods to simulate rooms being occupied and then left.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <br> </div> </div> </blockquote> <br> </body> </html>
