Hi guys.
I found this site when googling a problem with one of my xmas motif last seaon. The problem resolved itself and i've been lurkng ever since.
I have a 30m+ long house, with power at either end. I've been using mainly motifs on the walls and some free standing displays. With a 30m long canvas I can fit quite a few on.
At this stage I have no interest in going down the controller route (but never say never)
My main interest at this point is to get rid of the 240v cables from my yard.
The last of my 240v ropelight displays died last year so now I have all low volt gear.
Some of the gear I bought last year came with 10 leads and my original plan this year was to extend the leads on all my lights.
On the week end I found an unused 12v HPM garden light kit. Unused as 2 of the 4 lights are frogs and my wife has fear of frogs. But it got me thinking, is it viable to somehow set my motifs up in a similar way? ie 1 low volt lead with x number of lights feeding of it.
Ive done a bit a googling and found a few options, but most of the garden light setup are designed as permanent. I'd like to have the lights detachable for storage and
The main thing I would like advice on how would you splice the wire and what connectors would you use?
Or if someone has done something similar, how did you set it up.
Cheers Troy
