Yeah, I'm thinking England is just a little too far to make that trip!
I've seen your H2O cooling work in your computer!
I have total confidence in your ability to Brighten up your Garden area!
Yes they are the same LED light strips!
I have to cut the quality of the pics enough to post here, so the individual LEDs dont show up real well.
Its amazing what you can do with a sticky backed LED strip and some zip ties!

I wish they would make longer lengths as the sunroom is about 37'x7' and only have a plug at the one end on the brick wall.
I was thinking battery powered ones but then I would have battery boxes...ugh. For now, sunshine does fine and lights do ok at night lol

I read a review sometime back on these Day Better lights that the guy contacted Day Better and they hooked him up with a 10A controller.
Then 2 sets of lights can be connected end to end! For a total length of 65+ feet! Keep in mind the controller is center point for these lights!
The original controller is 5A.

Oh Peter, live long and prosper
I 3d printed some with interchangeable faces for the wife to put tea lights in so no more carving and watching them die! They are a bit small but I will print one maxed out and see what it looks like.

Those are Awesome!
They'd look good sitting next to Peter Pumpkin at my house!
Next Halloween...of course!
That gives you plenty of time to print them up!
Yes, I'll pay you for them! I know nothing is Free!

LOL thanx guys.
The toothy one is horrible looking as the support structure fell apart while printing.
Main pumpkin takes over 8 hours to print and each face takes 4+ hours depending on time. The stem and little plugs for each face to hold them on only take about an hour. 3d printing is not a fast thing! Neat thing is I can make almost any face just using regular pumpkin patterns or stencils. Takes time to get the design right but that is what I did with Jack Skellington.
Those times are at the size now - enlarging to my max print size (159% of original) increases the print time of the main body to about 26 hours
Now where is that perty case at??????

Holy Mackerel, 26hrs for one pumpkin...I'm guessing you'll only be 3D printing stuff for yourself only!
Funny you ask about "That Perty Case"!
I got a text this morning, saying he's going to paint it today(Fri)
Its done, but still at his shop!
If he goes in to the shop this weekend, I might try and go by and pick it up!
If not I'll pick it up Monday!
He said it turned out Great!
I hope he's right!
