Lighting control via MIDI

A friend is creating a man cave theatre organ room and wants to control room lighting effects via his more than he needs for organ control thumb pistons. I have one these relay output boards to do other things and can attest to it working very well.

I might add, these people offer a wide range of control products. In addition to the above relay output board, there is available a similar board with SCR dimmer capability up to 5 amps. Hook one of these up to the seldom ever used crescendo pedal and dim your room lights, is that cool?

even control via Ethernet:

Hi Ed, I just checked online to be sure, [url]MidiBotique.com[/url] also makes a number of relay type PC boards, that are Midi output controlled, but they do not allow for Dimming as far as I know !

There's a difference in cost, tho.
