As to size, I don't know off hand. Since they are often close to the load they typically include the outlets and that makes them pretty big – the one I linked to has 8 outlets. But, there are probably DMX chips out there and the triacs they control aren't all that big you might be able to build something pretty small. But in a theatre the equipment might already be there, it might be as simple as hooking up to it with the tree & the Arduino. | |

And is there more compact DMX dimmers out there that might fit more nicely into a project box (smaller than, maybe, 6 inches on its biggest side)? | |
