What can you do with an Easy Light Linker? Sync your whole neighborhood to the same show!
If you connect an Easy Light Linker directly to your computer adapter, remember: Easy Light Linkers require power and some communication adapters do not supply it. If you’re going to keep your computer inside and have it communicate wirelessly to the outside controllers, use a USB485B or USB485-ISO adapter that will supply the necessary power to the inside Easy Light Linker.
Simple layout using Easy Light Linkers
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 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 controllers using a device plugged into your computer’s serial or USB communications port. The blue line shows the standard serial output of your computer (RS-232 or USB) out of your PC where it enters our converter that transforms the signal to the native Light-O-Rama network protocol (the green line) that 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 Easy Light Linker is powered from the nearby controller and sends/receives data. This ability to connect wirelessly is valuable when it’s not practical to run a data cable across lanes of traffic, bodies of water or anywhere people might trip over wire.

6. 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. Controllers can be daisy chained, mixed and matched on one LOR network giving you the ability to command thousands of channels.
7. Electrical power is supplied to the controller placed close to your lights so you don’t need to run long extension cords. Commands from the ShowTime Sequencing Suite are performed on each controller. Power to each of the attached lighting circuits is controlled independently. Think of having many dimmer switches that the computer can change very quickly and independently.

4. The Light-O-Rama Easy Light Linker creates a wireless version of the Light-O-Rama data network. With a range of hundreds of feet depending on the environment, one Easy Light Linker transmitter can send command to multiple Easy Light Linker receivers. Note this Easy Light Linker is connected to a USB485B adapter that provides accessory power.
5. The Easy Light Linker receiver is powered from the nearby controller, receives the network commands and transmits the data to the controllers connected to it. This ability to connect wirelessly is valuable when it’s not practical to run a data cable across lanes of traffic, bodies of water or anywhere people might trip over wire.
