Santas Helper Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I have several of those DC controllers. They work great too.Before the DC controllers came out, I used DC wall-worts. If your budget doesn't fit to purchase the DC controller, you can purchase 12v DC tranformers (wall-worts). I used these for two years. These will allow you to fade, shimmer and twinkle just like the DC controllers do. AND they were withinmy budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBullard Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 The wall wart will need to be an iron core transformer. A switching DC wall wort may be damaged with lots of on/off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have them hooked to my LOR DC controllers running my RGB LED Strips.The top pic has two of the power supplies and 2 LOR DC controllers in the box. The bottom pic just has one power supply and one LOR DC controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for a 'white' twinkle. The twinkle effect on a RGB channel will cause multiple colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a total of 24 channels total for a 8 "segment" arch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have converted my 3 existing wire frames and the new star I made last year to all 12v LED strips. The thin 26ga wire can be a real pain to solder together and add leads to, but it is well worth it. You will find that they need to be run at 75-80% intensity otherwise you need sunglasses or a welding helmet to view directly.
