RJ,

 What the heck is up with everything you make being named Lynx …..?

Well it is really simple in reality. When I started in the DIY holiday lighting hobby I noticed that there were a number of devices you could build and it at first seemed confusing as to what hooked together and worked together. So when I started designing stuff for the hobby I decieded to go with one protocol, Test each device to ensure it worked with all the others and name the devices that work together under a brand name. This where Lynx came from.

The Lynx was suppost to be “The Lynx Dimmer” and the only one I did. But I was talked into expanding the offering of dimmers so I had to name them and add Lynx to the front.  

Anything that starts with Lynx plugs together and works together and has been tested together. It can be mixed and matched to you needs. Like a freestyle can be pluged into a Lynx and a Lynx into a MR16 controller into the not yet release Lynx RoboLight.  

Many would say ” of course they are DMX devices that does not mean anything” but they would be wrong. It is more than the hook together, it is they work together and operate and program in the same way. It means they will use cat5 cable and ends to interconnect.  They even build very much the same as well as having many interchangable parts.

It is that you know they all have there own power and need no external extras to operate. That the coops kits come with it all so when pricing you know that $__.__ gets you going with out the additional expense’s. Right down to the case. You know that it will have a case that fits well. You know there will be a good step by step manuals with photos to help you be successful.  And that if you built a Lynx device it is exactly the same as any other built so it will work like every other one or that we will be able to help you figure out what is wrong as we can know it inside and out. This is because I do not let people modifiy my devices. I let them build anything they want as long as it is not a modified version of my stuff.

So what is Lynx all about?

It is about a family of devices all intended to work with each other.
