Septon Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hey guys, Sorry I don't know where to post this. However I just got a Ghoul with RBG eyes. And Well. I would love to be able to control them with my RBG device... I want to control all lighting at my house.So that being said, this is my first year into RBG... I DO have a good buddy who is an electrical engineer coming over, but any feed back would be great if someone has done it before. BTW - My theory is Kids want my Candy... I want my Candy... so may the best ADULT win :). I always have kids who won't come in, my wife doesn't find that funny... but I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmienLightFan Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Open it up and see what's inside. It might be easier to replace the lights with 12v lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santas Helper Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Have your engineer buddy check what the input volts are to the LEDs and find out what volts are being used. That would help for what your options are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDucks Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 It might not need an Engineer. What powers the head? Batteries? (count * 1.5 ) Wall wort (read the DC out part of the label) If it has a standard lamp cord, you DO need that Guru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get you engineers help if you want to use 12V( or 5V) from a LOR CMB24D controller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzAz Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 and search ebay for LM2596 LM2596HV LM2596HVS XL6009 Buck Step Up/ Down Power Converter Voltmeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the goal is to control the colors, not just remote (from LOR) power. If I am wrong, and on/off is the goal, that battery eliminator from a SINGLE cmb24 port would do the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
