Introduction

This is a beginning entry dedicated to the light setup in Diedenoort-NURDSpace. Original configuration: The three wall switches by the front door operate, from left to right: The ventilation The right-hand bank of lights (with back to door) including the 3 on the hook around the corner The left hand bank of lights

Current configuration

The left hand switch is for the single emergency light on the left closest to the door.
The right hand switch does nothing.
The fluorescent bulbs are connected together into 4 numbered groups:
1. The 6 in the dead centre of the space
2. The 2 over the printer desks (currently disabled)
3. The 3 over the desks at the far windows
4. The 5 closest to the door, on the near side of the I-beam, excluding the emergency light (only 2 of them are currently working).

These 4 channels are plugged into the lighting controller suspended in a white iron grid from the ceiling. This is plugged into a ceiling socket on a ? electrical group.

DMX

The DMX devices are controlled by the LanBox. DMX channels used:

Channels 1-6: node 0
Channels 7-12: node 1
Channels 13-18: node 2
Channels 19-24: node 3
Channels 25-30: node 4
Channels 31-36: node 5
Channels 37-42: node 6
Channels 43-48: node 7
Channels 49-54: node 8
Channels 55-60: node 9
Channels 61-66: node 10
Channels 67-72: node 11
Channels 73-78: node 12
Channels 79-84: node 13
Channels 85-90: node 14
Channels 91-96: node 15
Channel 241: showtec ch 1: fluorescent lights (do not dim!)
Channel 242: showtec ch 2: defused to prevent gnome attacks
Channel 243: showtec ch 3: fluorescent lights (do not dim!)
Channel 244: showtec ch 4: fluorescent lights (do not dim!)

Commands

The lights can be operated on #nurds using the following commands:

!ziza - Turn off TL tubes.
!aziz - Turn on TL tubes.
