Title: Another season down
Post by: Maniac on January 02, 2024,

Another season down. Dragged out the old reliable stuff and it just worked, AGAIN.

Thanks again, RJ, for making this possible!

The most reliable part of my show also ... Lynx active hub.  Also very easy for my neighbor to plug in, since its a 2 house show and he only has to hang conduits with attached SSC(s) and then plug it all into a hub and run the pixelnet in cord from my house.   100% reliable !!!

I convert more AC to pixels each year, but I love the hybrid look, so they will always be a part of my show for a long time to come. Lost a couple of triacs this year, but other than that,  12yr old Lynx Express controllers knocking it out of the park again this year!!

I don't even have the fancy EXPRESSES, I've been trotting out the OG Lynx controllers! I may ADD a new express next year though, getting all fancy :) (and a freestyle with some SUPER OG (pre lynx ssrs)!

I started with Express's 11 years ago. I use 24+ controllers and some RGB equipment.

Other then tracing down solder problems on the equipment I put together and blowing several transformers (my fault) over the years I haven't had any problems with my equipment.

Great stuff! Thanks RJ.

I still use 5 of the Lynx Expresses every year.  I have a permanent Express mounted in the basement connected to house lighting that part of my home automation accesses to turn on and off light inside and outside throughout the year.  When it comes to Christmas, xLights accesses it to control the outside lights to be part of the show.
