Hate when manufacturers that use this layout

A long lead in cable rendered useless as a result of a poorly placed controller that's less than a metre from the first light. This means I have to position the light right next to the weatherproof cable box so I can protect both the control box and transformer from getting wet.

Can always cut the leads and add some cable? Gotta think outside the box in this hobby. DIY

Wrap the controller box in a bag or something like that, it doesn't need to be IP68 submarine grade, just protected from water running into it etc.

Some of those control boxes are weatherproof already. So there may be no issue with it being outside.
