Hello, 
Could someone please take the time to give a condensed version of how a DMX controller
works with LED lights? A howto setup?

I just want to know an easy efficient way to begin learning this stuff. Get an easy set
up, then move into the technical aspects after practice with the "user-friendly" things.

It's the LED lights that have Red Green Blue in them. So, after a few weeks I have come
to the conclusion I need a dmx controller and a few LED lights. I want to customize the
color of my lights for each application needed.

Searching the net, after wandering through pages and pages of expensive lighting systems,
I finally come to whats supposed to be explanations of DMX controllers, It gets into
packets, switches, protocols, all kind of technical stuff. Which I read through, but
eventually it always digs down too esoteric for the beginner. I want "plug this in here"
and "turn this dial" and "flip this switch". Or something similar if possible. Todays my
day off and I haven't gotten to the library or the bookstore yet.

 To begin, I buy 3 RGB LED lights and set up in my studio. Next I buy a DMX
controller(?). I break out with the pantone color swatch guide, pick a color, and then. .
. . 
???

Thanx.
