[QUOTE="DarkwinX, post: 127930, member: 37705"] So thanks to all the advice in this thread and the chatroom - I managed to do my first successful test despite the rain. Here is how it all turned out [URL unfurl="true"]https://photos.app.goo.gl/bCCnLepcbSwqZtDp8[/URL] Happy for any criticisms/comments I think the only things that I would change are [LIST] [*]Use 12AWG instead of 10AWG to connect the PSU - I used a video from "Learn Christmas Lighting" and I think the wire birdcages if you're not really slow putting them into the terminals. [*]I'm sure I could've put in a smaller PSU - this is the 350w one. With only 3 terminals can you reuse a few of them to power inject as required? IE turn 3 terminals into 6? [*]Redo my spliced wire joins to attach an Xconnect plug to the RayWu style lights - I don't think the heat gun I bought is hot enough to melt the solder of the self soldering connections. Plus I want to put a heat shrink cover over the whole lot. Any suggestions on cutting the outer rubber on the connector so I can give myself more wire to work with? Just carefully or with a bigger wire stripper? [/LIST] Next steps are: [LIST] [*]Put it in a waterproof case of some sort. Not sure if its going to be wall mounted or on the ground - seems like most of the waterproof cases are for wall mounting. [*]Link it up with the F48 board and do some testing with xLights [/LIST] [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
