Hi Mike, I'm talking about using the led string lights from Bunnings and the like which have the 240-12v power pack converters.. What I've seen is a micro controller flicking relays which turn the 240v power on/off for the strings of lights.
I guess you could leave the power on, and cut into the 12v line, and make a switch there! Grant On Wed, Nov 4, 2015 at 2:39 PM, mike smith <meski...@gmail.com> wrote: > Individually addressable?
