Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Dan,The control boxes are connected together with cat5 cable. The heatsinks are used because the triacs get real hot and need a way to dissipate the heat. For all the info you would ever want, go to http://www.lightorama.com. Here you will find the answer to a lot of your questions.Good Luck! and welcome to this wonderful hobby!James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To disipate heat.I would suggest taking some time to read the LOR forum from the beginning. There are a bunch of answered questions on there.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
