Our spiral

[Heath-LightsOnTapley]

For anyone interested. Masters at Adelaide Airport have the junction boxes (both 20 and 25mm) for about $1.50. In the Masters online store they are $3+

also which sizing are people going for? 20 or 25mm?


cheers

Not sure heath but yes masters in adelaide shutting down so there is some bargains to be had we scored 100m roll of 1.3 mm 2 core garden lighting wire for $59 perfect for power injection score

 

[Red]

We used 25 mm

 

[Heath-LightsOnTapley]

thx... 25mm it is. bonus i found some 25mm conduit in the carport

 

[Red]

better if u get a strong blow on 25mm, out our way anyway lol

 

[Heath-LightsOnTapley]

Rudolph, Just wondering what wire your wifey used for these... cheers[/size]and also where did you get the end cap for the conduit? cant find that...

The chair leg protectors came from Home Hardware, but lam sure Bunnings would have them too, or even ebay, they were to suit 25mm legs, or pvc in my case, there was a variety of different dimensions as well, right up to 32mm


The wire was from Jaycar, we got it from the online shopping page

 

[Heath-LightsOnTapley]

cool thx for that... never would of guessed what they were.

 

[Heath-LightsOnTapley]

rud, i can work out everything but how you returned the green data wire... is it under the strip or through a hole and down the pipe? thx

 

[Red]

the 1st pic is of the green wire returning to the centre,


the 2nd is the last arm which has the ability to extend onto, power and data, in both cases the leg stoppers fitt on the end of the tube,


as long as u have drilled at least 30 mm from end to allow for stopper not to trap wires


hope that makes sense

 

[Heath-LightsOnTapley]

thx for that... helps a lot... I have the wiring soldered on the strips... just need to drill pipes and silicon the end caps on

The ultimate effect to put on a spiral is the spiral effect intended for megatrees.
