hello all,

you'd be looking at some kind of relay connected to the pulse output of the
320s. there are companies that do this kind of kit for very little money
here in the UK, so there's bound to be some available in the States - just
check out digikey, mouser etc etc. the output of the 320 will flip a relay
to switch in the mains supply to a lamp - is this what you're after..? i
think if you have the option, use a relay that is optically isolated - ie
there is no direct electrical connection between your precious MOTM and
those nasty lightbulbs. i think one company that does stuff like this is
Vellemann, though i don't have a Maplin catalogue here to check - they used
to also do gigantic LED ladder PPM kits, but with the LEDs replaced by mains
powered lightbulbs - cool...
now all you have to do is figure out how to use your 320s to trigger a pair
of Kodak SAV2050 projectors and you'll be sorted (i haven't worked this one
out yet...)

cheers
