Refurbished products have either had minor repair work (such as a triac replacement, loose RJ45 port repair, etc), or were returned by a customer after minimal or no use during the money back guarantee warranty period. All refurbished controllers and products have been tested and are in good working condition.
This assembled CMB24D controller board comes with a UL recognized power supply wired and mounted in a weather-proof, ventilated and UL listed enclosure.
Note:Software is not included.The latest version of the Light-O-Rama Software Suite is recommended. In order to use this flood light package in our 'Ready to Go' sequences, you need the "Standard" license level or above.
CMB24D Dumb RGB Controller Details
The CMB24D is a microprocessor controlled DC voltage controller. This deluxe controller takes its commands from an internal stored sequence, another controller, a Light-O-Rama Show Director, the Light-O-Rama ShowTime Sequencing Suite Windows based personal computer software or DMX-512. The CMB24D can support interactive shows via three inputs activated by simple switch closures. One input can be used to start/stop an internal stand-alone sequence.
The RJ45 jacks on the CMB24D can be jumpered to support LOR networking or a standard DMX-512 E1.27 network. Screw terminals permit easy connection of loads.
The microprocessor performs the lighting effects from high level commands, for example: fade channel 12 from 20% intensity to 60% intensity over six seconds. This internal intelligence allows for very complex shows where thousands of changes in the lights are possible every second.

CMB24D RGB controller basic layout
1. The Light-O-Rama ShowTime Sequencing Suite works on your personal computer running Microsoft Windows and allows you to design your own shows. The ShowTime Sequencing Suite then runs your shows and sends the right commands at the right time to the various control channels. The ShowTime Sequencing Suite can even keep music and video synchronized to the controller commands.
2. Speakers to play the music accompanying your show are attached to the computer sound card.
3.Your personal computer communicates to the Light-O-Rama controllers using a device plugged into the computer’s serial or USB communications port. The blue line shows the standard serial output of the computer (RS-232 or USB) connected to our adapter that transforms the signal to the native Light-O-Rama network protocol (the green line) that then connects to our various types of controllers over standard computer network wire. We recommend Cat 5 LAN cables available from us and off-the-shelf from your local big box store in the computer section.
4. The Light-O-Rama CMB24D is connected to your network just like any other controller. The board is designed to drive eight dumb RGB devices. Each device has three channels (red, green, blue). In this case, the CMB24D comes fully assembled since the package includes our 10W floods. You can purchase the components to build your own CMB24D if you're planning to connect to non-LOR dumb RGB devices.
5.The Light-O-Rama professional or residential high voltage AC light controllers include special effects such as simple on/off, intensities, smooth fading, twinkling, shimmering. Over 200 controllers can be daisy chained, mixed and matched on one LOR network giving you the ability to command thousands of channels. Need more channels? Add another Light-O-Rama network.
