    You might run it by Gadget (Brian) at Evilusions. He's a technical wiz!

      WIPPLE,

      does it have a DMX input? Hell you could always stand out there and turn the thing off and on by hand......GOD knows you don't do anything else anyhow. At least that is what I have been told. LOL

      Or maybe pig pig can do it.

        Not entirely clear on what you want to accomplish, but a basic PLC (or other controller) controlling an external relay capable of switching 12 Amps (120VAC) will do it. In other words, you either need a controller that can handle around 12A OR one that turns on/off a relay that can handle that load. DMX controller is a good idea as well.

        Don't know if that helps?

            "Magic Haunt Fairies"!?

            You are very lucky! Local people think satan built my place, lazy bastard won't do jackshitt!
            He just sits there looking through my old divorce papers laughing, only stopping when I threaten to set him up with my ex-mother-in-law then real fear crosses his face, getting so scared it runs up his nose and the sound of those hidden maggotts is deafening .

              I was told you're the only fairy at that haunt.
