[SML] Source 4 Power and LED Cabling

[Ford Sellers]

Hey Wayne,
 not to be too commercial, but...
You may also want to look at something like our Synapse 4. This is exactly the sort of situation we designed it for. https://www.chauvetprofessional.com/products/synapse-4/ 

It has 4 relays, and a built in opto-splitter, for distributing both power and DMX. It can sit in a rack backstage, or hang from a clamp on the batten with your fixtures.  

The cool thing is that you can set the relays to either respond to DMX, turn on and off on a schedule, or simply to turn off the relays when you turn off your lighting console (when it doesn't sense DMX anymore).  You can also set a delay on that feature (of up to 2 minutes), so that you have a few minutes to move your console, or to reset it if you have a problem during a show.

We recommend these for churches, and schools, where the lighting is run by volunteers, as it takes the thinking out of powering the rig up, and down at the end of the night (or rehearsal, or the show, or whatever).

Thanks, and have a groovy weekend!
-Ford

Consider the ETC ColorSource wireless relays.  Power it and up to 10 units per relay, daisy chaining data and power, and a ColorSource transmitter with the console or whatever your control is, and done.
Almost no infrastructure.

If you just want the simplest of push button controls recalling
presets, look at the ETC Echo products.    Hard to beat for price.  I
would have to look a little on how to use Eco and ColorSource wireless in a permanent install but I'm sure it possible.
