It looks like that will work. Let us know how it turns out for you.

Naive question here, but just to confirm: That relay will make it possible to use a momentary switch with a Buckpuck? Push once and the Buckpuck is turned on; push the button again and it turns off? Is there a generic name for such a relay?

The one I'm using that Sfer1 suggested is a reed relay from radio shack here is a link to the specific one:

Yes, the econo card basically turns on the buck puck or resistor set up with the LED output of the card.

Would you need a seperae drier for accent LEDs? or may I use the board?

Use the board with a 220-Ohm resistor for each LED, wired in parallel.

Thanks for the response about the relay, guys. My brain was on holiday when I asked that. Obviously, as long as the board is on, the relay will be getting current and do its job.

Rhyen will this setup still work with a lux 3 led ?

Because of the high power requirements it is a little more difficult to use the Lux III red. I always use the Lux I red/orange with the economy hasbro sound card. You will be surprised with the brightness of a red/orange Lux I in this set up.
