Fs and non-dmx lights

Post by tjw »

Hey! I recently purchased 4 parcans, 4 pinspots, two strobes, and a chauvet color bank. None of these lights are DMX. I was wondering if it was possible to control them on FS? If yes, what do I need, and how do I do it?

then two dmx dimmers for complete control of your pins and cans

I think I already have the switch pack. They came with a 12 outlet box, with an interface cable that linked up to a switch box (a bank of twelve switches) that just turn on and off the lights. So I am guessing ... all I need now is the dimmer pack?
