    Feeling disappointed

    How much does it cost to run 25,000 lights

    Running approx 16,000 leds, haven't noticed power bill go up much at all, only on for 2-3 hours and mostly running at 60% power or less and then only half on at any one time (flashing.changing etc) so minimal draw. cheers Boof63

    Fm transmitter ?

    have the same as LawrenceDriveLights, no problems it has two settings- high and a low, run the low setting 500m radius. Use it from inside the house, plugged into headphone jack on the computer, very clear and no distortion unless I crank it up way too far. Keep transmitter at a lower volume...
