    Modeling Large Layout

    Use the grid lines make them mean something to like 1-foot spacings or 1yard spacings whatever you like then make the grid just a bit bigger than your hole property like if your yard is 100 feet long make maybe enough lines so that you have 102 feet. I then used that grid to place the line model...

    How do you attach your Lights to a Colorbond Roof Line?

    you could use timber, aluminium or even steel. I used Perspex because it won't rot, corrode or rust just make the size to suit your own magnets and the thickness only has to be thick enough to get the screw to bite in enough and yeah it's just used as a medium to stick the magnets to and to...

    How do you attach your Lights to a Colorbond Roof Line?

    You don't have to use Perspex cutting it can be tricky if you don't have the right tools and you need to drill the hole for the screw at the right size otherwise the Perspex will crack.

    Power connection getting hot

    I would keep the total load on that wire at a maximum of 8 amp's (5 would be better) as your connectors are the limiting factor in the wiring setup. A bigger cable in between the connectors only helps to get those amp's to get to the other end. A work around would be to solder two or more...

    Turning on Power supplies

    I use Sonoff Wi-Fi smart switches with the eWelink app . I set the timing of the on and off 4/5 years ago and haven't touched them yet , They are much the same as Johnnyboy Shelly's but I place mine at the power outlets.

    Y/T Splice for power injection - show us some examples if you DIY

    Depending on how many other ports you are powering off that power supply to your controller and how big it is you might be getting close to maxing out the power supply but as your pic above the 2.2.2 splitter would be the easiest way to go. Me, I only power 50 pixels off a controller port as if...

    Bunnings 8mm Coro

    Vivid 2023 … exhibiting

    I'm sure we can handle it all. I have an ABN but only half the amount of insurance needed I set up fairy lights for weddings for the last 5 years. I think it will be the paper work to be the biggest hurdle.

    Vivid 2023 … exhibiting

    Was thinking the same but a 360* tunnel meaning you are walking over the lights on a walkway in the middle of the tunnel.

    Just a follow up idea i had for roof tile mounting

    Yes it is, Cement tiles are common for Austraila your average house would have about 15 to 20 ton of tiles this is why most here dont have atics up in the roof space as it is full of trusses at 600mm centers (2 Feet).

    Glue for rare earth magnets

    as a user of the magnets myself i used double sided tape to some perspex and put heatshrink over it and screwed a conduit clip to that. Just make sure you have the magnets sealed or you will get rust stains on the metal you are sticking them to.
