Sure thing, let’s get those gears turning. First, decide how high the stage needs to lift—measure twice, cut once, as always. Then pick a winch system; a small 12‑v DC motor with a gear reducer and a rack‑pinion is solid for precise control. Mount the rack on the underside of the stage, and attach a threaded rod to a hand crank for manual override in case the motor hiccups. For the LED cues, I’d wire each strip to a separate channel on a 4‑channel DMX controller, then use relays to power them on cue. Keep the relay board low‑profile and mount it next to the motor housing so you don’t have to reach back for a tweak. If you want that extra “wow” factor, add a small pneumatic lift for a dramatic reveal—just remember to seal everything well if it’s going outdoors. What’s the width and height of your modular sections? That’ll help me sketch a more precise layout.
