Thinking about replacing all of my fuses with these. At about $1 ea they aren't overly cheap, but love the indicator. So if the fuse blows the light glows. http://www.jaycar.com.au/5a-blade-fuse-with-led-indicator-orange/p/SF5022 They also have other colors...

I ended up buying 2 of them, cheap enough to test. I placed both in the shower, one on it's side, one on it's back. Left them in there for about 30 mins. The one on the side had some water leak in, enough to be a concern. The other, which was on it's back had no water in it.

Nice writeup. Will keep away from that box then. Do you have a link to the box you used?

Found this on masters. https://masters.com.au/product/101681221/masterplug-weatherproof-box These are quite big and at $20 each, a bargain.

Does the RJ45 from the controller (F16v2 in my case) provide a ground you can tap into for each powersupply? As this won't/shouldn't be a current loading ground.

Thanks for the great feedback. Would you suggest using the ws2812b 5v chips instead of the 12v ws2811? Haven't paced the order with ray yet so it's not too late. Being a computer nerd i have all the other stuff, routers, cabling and solder gear. Have already started playing with xlights.

Well omg. I sent an email to Ray for shipping price adjustments, within 5 mins he got back to me. Price reduced by 15USD which I am very happy with.
