hey, can ne body tell me how to wire my lighting rig up to a board, i sort of know about the dmx stuff, but some of my lighting is not dmx, such as the soundlab valera, would it be possible to run it through an analogue controller, can you get dmx and analogue controller built in one, im soooooooooo confused
The Behringer DMX controller offers analogue(0-10volt) support.
As far as connecting and setting up DMX, there are several posts here already which should answer all questions, have a search and a make a drink...DJUs got lots of DMX info.
As far as running non-DMX lights eg: lights which you just switch on, or switch off at the mains, the you'd best use a DMX switch pack with the DMX controller.

If your using non-DMX effects, and they do not have 0-10v control either, then the only way to control them effectively is via a multi switched controller. This is basically 8 switches on the front, and 2 bulgin or 8 IEC outputs on the back.
These are an easy way of controlling your lighting, But a 10v controller or a DMX switchpack and DMX desk would be a better way. This is because the switched controller has either 2 cables comming out (which is ok) or 8 individual cables to run up to your trussing. Where as the DMX switchpacks, and the 10v systems have mains in and a data lead.
There are various different makes and models, Have a word with Chris, i'm sure he can supply you with a suitable model..
Actually your best bet is to plug into a dmx switch pack? Then you would be able to turn the light on and off and also be able to program your dmx effects along side.
Anyone know where I can get a switch panel with 2 bulgins? or which switch panel to get with two bulgins?
