What is this site? The goal of this site is to help you learn about Light-O-Rama (LOR) in an easy to read, and easy to understand format. Information about various parts of the LOR system is categorized into (hopefully) logical sections for you to read. The FAQ has many questions about LOR that people have asked on the past. The troubleshooting section is there for you when you encounter a problem. Information on this site is gathered from various sources including various Internet forums, personal experiences, and communications with the employees of LOR.
This project is not run by Light-O-Rama, Inc. However, LOR is aware of the site, and includes links to this site from their message board, web site and printed material. The authors of this site communicate with LOR on a regular basis to help ensure the quality of the data. However, users of this site are encouraged to verify this information before use. The project can not be held liable for your use of this information. |

The following is a post from John at LOR. (Original Post.) Here are the products to be delivered in August & September:
1) DIO32 32-channel digital controller with daughter boards. The DIO32 has four 8-port headers. Each 8-port header (8 channel group) is individually configurable as digital output(32 channels max), digital input(8 channels max), relay control(32 channels max), low power AC dimming(32 channels max), high power AC dimming (32 channels max). The daughter boards are: 8 channel SPDT relay, each relay 16 amps @120 vac; 16 channel dimming, 40 amps total @ 12/24/120/240 vac; 8 channel dimming, 60 amps total @ 120/240 vac; 16 channel connection daughter board for custom projects. DIO32 has headers on it allowing 16 servos to be controlled by two of the 8-channel ports.
2) An isolated USB adapter. Completely isolates the PC from the network. Can be used for added protection but was developed for large scale installations with multiple LOR networks.
3) Network Repeater. Used to extend the network beyond 4,000' or to create network topologies other than a daisy chain. (Star networks, 'Y', ...)
4) 9 channel fountain controller. Controls up to 3 PMSM pumps and 6 channels of LED lighting. Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor pumps are the type most commonly used in fountains and ponds. Both pumps and lights controlled from barely on to full power. LOR plans to offer both submersible pumps and submersible LED lighting.
5)Chime-O-Matic. A 25 note catherdral chime system with 5 volume levels with full LOR control and 6 inputs. The inputs are two digital, two phone ring sense and two doorbell sense.
We have not yet gotten quantity price points for these products so I can't provide prices here. We will put each device on sale for the first week when it is introduced because we don't have the prices for a pre-order during the June sale.

The LOR Wiki 2.0 site got its start as the "LORWiki" back in May of 2006 with the idea that people would contribute their knowledge of LOR to the project to benefit everyone. The format was similar in nature to the Wikipedia web site, where anyone could add or edit the information. While the site was referred to often, and even included on the LOR site and documentation, the level of participation wasn't enough to keep the content current. In April 2008, the site was redesigned and the Wiki portion of the site was dropped. Content is now added by the site owners and trusted associates. |
