I have plenty of weatherproof boxes and they do a great job. So far, I've only lost a single controller

Well it seems like what I thought was an obsolete design is coming back. Just opened up some new items and was shocked to see that this ancient design has made a comeback. I really don't want to be cutting the wires of brand new lights so now I'll have to sacrifice more containers to protect the...

I've converted a few solar strings to low voltage by using old phone chargers, mainly the Nokia ones. Works really well and gives the otherwise obsolete chargers a second life. Like others have said, if your solar module has 3 batteries in it, the string is likely a standard 31v string being run...

Sorry if this is not the right place for this, I couldn't find any help threads for site related issues. What happened is I went to check a notification I got overnight and when I clicked on it, the site thought I was trying to access the private admin only threads or edit something I don't have...

Can you still buy these new or has production stopped? Been after one since 2018

You could have a faulty breaker. If so, time to call in a sparky. In the meantime, you could try connecting the lights to a different circuit to see if your breaker is faulty and also to provide power while you wait for the faulty breaker to be fixed

I'm actually somewhat glad I made this post because I'm using the photos to remember where everything was plugged in. It will also help me with adding new things since I know where the spare outlets are

Connecting the 2 strings together could cause the working power supply with the memory function to get overloaded and eventually burn out

Like many others, I started out small and slowly worked my way to where I am now. Last season, I finally got a Santa Sleigh and Reindeers for the roof which is something I've wanted ever since I was a little kid.

While I was making a post, I noticed an Australian Flag icon placed on top of my profile picture. I'm all for Australia but this icon overlaps part of my picture and is also rather blurry. It never used to be there and I want to know how I can remove or disable it since it is not part of my...

Almost ready to start the 2023-24 display. It will be pretty much identical to last season but with some new additions. My traditional yearly addition to the display was made a bit better thanks to a generous person who donated $50 to my display last season. I've been wanting something that I...

My display will finally have an entrance and a surprise homemade decoration. I will also be relocating certain items to make room for some other new additions.

Here's a shot of the Roof & Fence portion of my display. Tonight I'll hopefully get a better photo that includes the 2 Mini Trees that are hiding behind the car. And a higher quality shot of the Yard Display's right half. I did take a photo of the left half but it came out blurry so I'll have...

An unexpected surprise greeted me in my Christmas Mailbox while I had opened it to troubleshoot an issue with the cable box that's hidden inside. Sitting on top of the box was a letter to Santa! It was a bit wet and the snails had begun eating the paper but thankfully the letter survived intact...
