I have been asked to assist with our downtown volunteers' project to light the downtown street for the different holidays. The first thing we are going to tackle is how to control 5 city blocks of lights. At this time they are all LED rope light, but eventually we will be crossing the street with lights from building to building.
There is not one power source for these lights. At this time we have 10 different timers doing the duty. Unfortunately this means that we do not have control on when the lights are on or off outside the times on the timers.
I am looking for a method to add a central control point, but at this time have no ideas as to how to get control over this distance. Google maps shows it to be 1,966 feet from one end to the other. There is a rise to this route, but I'm not sure of how much. It looks to be about 7 feet from each end to the high in the center.
All ideas are appreciated.
BTW - In the future it is possible that we will be adding RGB lights (as in a display) along this route, but for now plain control would be wonderful.
Thanks
