MR16 / 16 CH DC Controller and LED lights

I was wondering if you have store bought AC LED lights, is there any modification that need to be done to the LED light to work with the 16 Channel DC control board or can we just plug them in the straight into the socket. If someone has a video on how the 16 DCC is set up that would be appreciated

The store bought AC LED lights are usually 120 Volts AC. They would plug directly into an express, but not the MR16. It is usually run at 12 volts DC. It would take major modifications to run them on it. I would recommend you use an express or SSR4 with DMX for that application.

Hi Caliente Christmas,

If you do decide to go that route, I run many of my lights on 12 VDC both led and mini.  You can stop by on Sunday and take a look how I do it. You do have to watch how much amperage you are putting on that little wire.
