Traditional Light Setup
Use these arrangements for AC lights & controllers. RGBPlus builds on the controller layouts in our Traditional Layout. For more details on decorating with traditional lights, explore the Traditional Layout Setup Guide.
Controller 01
Four groups of four fixtures (Does not have to be the same props we have decorated in the picture)
Controller 02
Four fixtures, each with four different colored light strings, taking up 4 channels each (4x4=16)
Controller 03
Two groups of 8 fixtures (like two arches, two small mega trees, two sets of 8 yard props)
One set of 16 (like a 16 strand mega tree)
Controller 04
Two groups of 8 fixtures (like two arches, two small mega trees, two sets of 8 yard props)
Two groups of 8, each with 2 colors of lights on separate channels (8x2=16)

RGBPlus and CPC Package FAQs
Why Aren't My Lights Working?
1. Make sure you are using RGBPlus sequences. Traditional and Deluxe Layout sequences don't have effects for 90% of our CPC Packages.
2. Ensure you set the DIP switches to match your directions. Misplaced them? Scroll down on this page for instructions.
3. Each package must connect to the right network. Follow your printed instructions, or scroll down on this page.
- RGBPlus Sequences - Networking Overview - Tutorial Video
- RGBPlus Layout - Assign A Sequence to Your Preview - Video For S5 / Video for S6
- RGBPlus Layout - Reconfigure Default Networks (i.e. Use a Mini Director) - Tutorial Video
RGBPlus vs Deluxe vs Traditional Layout?
- All Layouts include effects for 4 Traditional controllers, 10W floods, and 50W floods.
- The RGBPlus Layout additionally includes effects for all CPC Packages.
- The Deluxe Layout only includes smart pixel effects for the CPC 16x25 tree, CPC 16x50 tree, and Singing Faces set to V1 legacy mode.
- The Traditional Layout does not include any CPC Package effects
Mini Director, N2-G4, or N4-G4?
If you’re using every CPC Package in the default layout, you’ll need an N4-G4 Director or 4 USB485 Adapters (one per network). Watch this video about RGBPlus Networks
If you don’t have every prop, you can use fewer networks and fewer adapters or director ports. A Mini Director or single USB Adapter only supports the smart pixel packages for a 16x25 or 16x50 pixel tree by default. Using other CPC Package props requires network modifications.
Do I Need EVERY CPC Package for the Sequences to Work?
No! Just skip any props you don’t own when following the Cat5 path in our diagrams. You can add on new packages in future years.
In 5.6.0 or higher, use the Light-O-Rama Props online menu in the Preview Editor to import CPC Package Props.
Maximum Pixels Per Network?
- Recommended Maximum Smart Pixels Per Network = 3000.
- This includes unused props remaining on a network during reconfiguration.
- Using complex effects may benefit from having fewer pixels on a network.
When using all or nearly all CPC Packages available, a Pixielink may improve playback quality. This advanced device is requires a computer for playback. Learn more here.
Software Requirements?
The minimum software level required for RGBPlus Sequences is version S5.6.0 Pro or S6.2.0 Pro, and is listed on each sequence's purchase page.
If you purchase an SD card playlist and do NOT plan on making any changes to the effects or the playback order of the songs, you do not need to purchase a software license.
