Already have a DMX light controller or DMX light control system but don't want to pay the high prices for more dimmer packs? Looking for outdoor-rated dimmer packs at a great price? Looking for distributed dimming as a part of your lighting control? Animated Lighting has you covered.
The Animated Lighting family of DMX light controllers can handle 10 amps maximum per channel depending on the model. We have standard light controllers that will support up to 60A per Qty. 16 channels. It's important to remember that in most cases you will not be pulling 10 amps per channel continuously because lights will be cycling on and off or running at reduced levels (dimmed).
Most North American household power outlets/sockets are rated at 15 amps maximum at 120VAC, and North American commercial power outlets/sockets are rated at 20 amps maximum at 120VAC. The DMX light controllers/dimmer packs are supplied with one, two or Qty. 4 power cords (depending on configuration) and each should be plugged into a different outlet (on different circuits) in order to reach the 60 amp maximum (15 amps each cord).
Each light controller in the system can have a unique starting channel number. This is how the system differentiates one output or channel from another. The light controller's starting channel is set using the two rotary address switches on the board. There are 16 light control positions on each switch allowing a possible 256 possible settings (16 x 16).

Each light and/or device in the system has its own light channel. Valid channel numbers are 1 through 512. Typically you would set each controller's starting channel to a unique number, making sure the channels don't overlap from light controller to light controller. However, this is not a requirement. It is possible to overlap channels on controllers. If two controllers have the same channels, then those channels will do the same thing (e.g. first controller has channels 1 through 16, second controller has channels 8 through 23, etc). This feature makes it very easy to have two controllers doing the same thing without needing to control more channels.
