Ted, That was some awesome information. The engineer I'm working with says it doesn't matter to him what I find to control the lights and other bits, I just have to do the leg work and find it. I'm liking the DMX compatible device you mention, and could use some guidance on what to purchase. Budget on controller $500.00 What I know so far is I would like the chandelier to be wirelessly operated from a dedicated PC, It will run off a 12 volt battery on board the chandelier. Will use 50 LED lights, haven't purchased these yet, lights will only be on at begin and end of show, about 15 minutes total, will need to be able flicker some of the lights. I was thinking of buying bare LED's and mounting them in translucent evaporation balls to make the globes. I was going to use small linear actuators to shake the chandelier but like your idea of a DC motor cam/arm arrangement. I found the spark wheel gizmo thing at http://www.sylvesterthejester.com/merch.html My total budget on the chandelier is $2200.00 Play starts Dec 5th 2013 http://www.hollandtheatreguild.org/ Holland High School Michigan The chandelier I am trying to replicate. http://blog.syracuse.com/entertainment/2007/09/Chandelier.jpg
