Hello everyone!
I've got a little, but important question about the EZ-8 Touch Controller.
I want to connect a spot light to a channel, what kind of a spot light can i use...
What is the MAXimally Watt from each channel?
I hoop anybody answer soon!

PS: I don't got the EZ-8 Controller :( , but when i got money, ill buy it ;D!
Like our other controllers the EZ-8 uses the ULN2803 to switch the output; the recommended max wattage per channel is 3w. If you need to switch a higher-wattage device then you'll need a relay between the EZ-8 and the device.

Can you reccomed me one?
Relays are easy to come by -- you just need one with a 3w coil. Specify the contacts per your requirements.

I think i need some relays.
But its the first time i gotta work with it.
i don't now were i can buy the best, cheapest, and simplest.
There are a ton of websites that you can order inexpensive relays from. If you just want to go down to the local radioshack because you only need one or two, I use these sometimes. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2049722
Hugo is a youngster that lives in Holland -- not sure he can run down to the local RadioShack.

I not mean that...
I know that already ;D ;D
I mean: how to connect a relaiy to it ???
A relay and a valve are the same thing to the EZ-8, a coil. The "output" side of the relay will have contacts that you connect your light circuit to. PLEASE, I'm begging you, contact our friends at Antratek and ask them about a good electrical/electronics primer in Dutch -- there are some things that one has to bring to the table when using prop controllers from any company.
