Yup this is awesome! So trying this!

Thanks for sharing. Have to say I love supporting and ordering from your store, great to deal with if there's any issues and I'm constantly impressed with how generous you are with your time! Actually, overall I'm constantly blown away from everyone's knowledge and willingness to share on this...

Hahha I see now! I clearly wasn't paying enough attention there - I was imaging a Netgear passive POE at 12v *where on earth did he find this* Still neat! Essentially creating your own Poe solution to keep the boards powered is awesome.

Fantastic explanation! What's the Netgear switch you're using for 12v Poe?

I used this as well last year! Works a treat, fantastic idea and so easy. I also used this for mounting large props like singing trees etc but had to make it into more of a clamp onto the tile as it was shifting a little too much for my liking in storms. This year I'm just going to make a...

To lighten (hahah) the workload, would there be an appetite to setup a live document instead? Maybe transfer the current one into a GitHub repo, meaning people can just continuously contribute? You'd then set that to auto build the user manual as a website automatically. You'd just need a...

Metal or tile roof?

Don't believe there's any tension. The ones that can wiggle were the dodgy roll, they flicker and carry on. The ones that die on the props just die. It's strange as. The Merry Christmas sign on the roof copes all the rain and sun, and is going well. It seems to be the ones on the fence or...

Yeah my GFLAIs are dying at the same rate at 5v. Saying that my second roll from them was faulty every 10th-15th was faulty. Mine "seems" to be a wiring issue, as in the faulty lot if you wiggle the cable it will intermediately flicker. So I reckon water might be ingressing in that way maybe...

OMG ordered and here I've been soldering like a dodo

I got two that are similar you're welcome to have, i have no idea the difference between Urated vs Uout, rated for 36V but expect 40V?

Years ago we got one of the "LED Santa Riding 4 Reindeer Deer Sleigh Christmas Rope Motif Light" on sale. We didn't want to completely throw everything out so just replaced the original rope lights and just programed the original movement in xLights! FYI the original's control box is def not...

Awesome will do!

I went with the GFLAI seeds, and it was like $90 per roll, so like 2000 pixels at 5V5CM, add shipping. First roll was really good, seem reliable and came out great: Second roll however seems like every 20-30th seed is dodgy and not making good contact on the wire 😩 Wiggling and some gluing...

I've used these previously, https://www.bunnings.com.au/arlec-100-entertainment-light-multi-purpose-clips_p4352306 Kinda painful making each one, but they lasted the season easily and did the job well.
