Hi Ed

Cool boxie, I like it.
Butte that power supply should go internal I think, u got plenty room left in the box by looking at it.
That wallie transformer is just another thinggy that go's missing overtime and less wires less problems.
Just my two pennies
Good job indeed
PS, If u go to internal power supply I am happy to take one off ur hands.....or maybe even two.

I may be too late to this conversation, but in my opinion (with a lot of lighting guy experience under my belt) the Elation DP-415, mentioned earlier in the thread is exactly what you want, and they're around $125.

Yes, they are dimmer packs, and you should never use a dimmer pack on anything other than an incandescent bulb. Most other devices have a step-down transformer before any motors or circuit boards, and that is what will blow if you use a dimmer pack as an on-off switch. Been there done that.

However the DP-415 (I have 2 of these) is a hybrid dimmer pack, which means at the flip of a dipswitch, it becomes a relay pack, turning it into a 4-channel remote switch, no dimming. DMX 0-127=off, DMX 128-255=on.

Slightly fancier and a bit more money is the Chauvet DMX4 http://www.chauvetlighting.com/dmx-4.html . It can handle more power, and is also a hybrid pack, but each of the 4 channels can be independently assigned as either a dimmer or a relay, so it gives a bit more flexibility. I also have one of these, and use it to control my hazer.

Sounds like you already have a custom solution in place, but if that doesn't pan out, these are my recommendations.

As I mentioned earlier, my dp-415 works great. I have dropped it a few times and it still works. It also has mounting points. It is fairly heavy though.

I fully realize that they are obviously generally dealing with a much higher end clientele. And as you said, it will last probably longer than both our lifetimes. I'm not begrudging them or anything, as for high dollar events, you need vendors with high quality reliable, equipment. That was just a "wow!" when I saw the price. Sadly, I don't do lighting for the Rolling Stones though. Lol

I just didn't know if there was a similar thing by say, Elation, Chauvet or others in that caliber in the $50-$100 range.

if you want I can install a DMX relay for you in your DF-50 at SELEM
