Steering gently back towards the original topic, I hired a mini digger today. They're charging £1.70 per litre for (clear) diesel used and not replaced. 

Needless to say, we shall be brimming the tank with finest supermarket diesel before returning it. 

Why would anyone put clear diesel in a digger when the new regulations are still months away?  Can you not get red in your area?  70 -80p /litre from most local suppliers or less if I get a few hundred delivered.  I can understand that it may not be worth the hassle and a mini digger might only use 20 - 40 litres in a week but it would certainly offend me to even see clear diesel in anything but a road vehicle,  May as well burn £20 notes
If someone gave me a digger full of clear (no trace of red)  I would drain it all and put it in my van before topping up the machine with red

This will increase costs for gennys, telehandlers, and all other diesel plant.  At least double price of fuel.  All traces of rebated fuel need to be removed from fuel systems for non agri use.  Also affects gas oil heating systems.  Increased risk of theft also likely

We've looked fairly regularly at controllable RGB floods for the outside of tents - there just doesn't seem to be anything DMX controllable at a sensible price point or angle and we've always ended up going back to the d0mestic style RGB floods with IR or wireless control and bashing together little arduino units / repeaters to control and synchronize them as needed. It's not a sexy high spec solution but in 10 years of trying we still find that a £20 IR controlled unit and a £10 arduino controller interface works out more practical and cost effective.

Any pointers please to controller interface? Would like to try running several RGB floods with possibility of individual control from single location.
