Power for ancillary items with DCC?

I'll be running my new layout via DCC, but how should I provide power to items such as lighting, turntable and other things that don't require DCC? I assume it would be best to not have them draw amperage from the DCC power supply, but since I have no compatible power supplies coming from Z gauge I can purchase whatever would be best. <br /> <br />I'd thought about buying one of the Tech4 train controls so that I could use it for something around a Christmas Tree and use it for a testing track for things I'm accumulating for the layout. Would that be a smart choice for something to use as a power supply for the non-DCC items on the layout?
