if it's 240v into the control box then it'll be 240 out (with modulation for the various effects)

is the WS28 better power wise in a RGBW config?

what might be vaguely workable and pack-up-able is to get some seed pixel waterfall lights and just wrap them around, I agree that the shape of the trees is likely to detract from the rest of the show, looks like a European garden.. don't suppose you could convince the folks to replace those...

many people are happy to share designs so others and print them on makerworld or some of the other forums... when people download they get free stuff so I hear, option b is many people I know with printers do it so cheap you'd be best just get them to whip some more out for you and set a...

after each strand is in the right way feed a thin bit of plastic behind (imagine a straw to push the pixels forward) edit, thinking about it if I were to go full crazy I'd 3d print some grids that have the channel and a second matching grid that fits over the top of the first to hold everything...

might be winner of most magic smoke competition right there.

this is a multi stage thing. VPN's are something that there are a heap of bots out there trying to hack, so if/when you set something up make sure it's secure (aka I'd avoid something built into a home router).. a good start on this is using MFA, however can I suggest something a bit more...

if you click start then type edit power plan, click on when that comes up as something you can select in the start menu, then up the top address bar click Power Options, then you should have a button on the left that says "Choose what closing the lid does" and be able to select "do nothing"...

Already I'm sold :) just repaired one of the bunnings strings of lights with zero protection and I'd estimate of the 500 on the string around 20 had to be replaced (on year 5 I'd estimate)
