I get mine from ebay. Much cheaper and more color choices. Best deals are the 100 ft. rolls. Small retail size packages are real expensive compared to the bulk roll discounts. Steve

Ever Wonder What That "ul Approved" Tag Really Means?
inspector4 replied to merrymidget's topic in Lights, Lights, Lights!
In my circle, your statement makes people jump and get ready to pounce. UL doesn't "approve" anything!!!! They test it and "list" it as meeting the standards. I'm just sharing............not pouncing!!!! Steve -

Generally, If the pixels stay on you have a problem with the ribbon. I would try and reset the ribbon by turning off the power, than press and hold the reset button in while turning the power back on. The ribbon should run the test pattern of Red, green , blue. along the entire strip. If it doesn't you better contact LOR to make arrangements for a repair/replacement. Steve

Please Help Take My Video Out Of Your Face
inspector4 replied to inspector4's topic in How in the world do you...
Lee I got that part where to go. I am just pasting the web address to my video in my signature and it turns into that screen shot of the video. I just want it to be the address as a link. How do I get it to be just a link and not the video. That's my question. Steve -
For me, the conversion to RGB will continue. I started with 4 colors on everything. The brightness, ease of programming and the many available colors all convince me to continue. Steve

I know someone helped me a year ago, but my searches turn up a black hole for that time frame. I want to take the video out of my signature and only have the link. I think everyone sees what I see , which is the start screen from Vimeo. I feel it's too much "in your face" if you know what I mean. I would like to have -2012 videos- be just a click-able link. http s://vimeo.com/57821613 Sorry for having to ask again. Steve

merrymidget, I am siding with you on this one...........I think the GFCI device does monitor the hot and the neutral.........

As an electrical inspector, I would not approve this suggestion. Though not specifically clear in the code, plumbing pipe is not a listed underground raceway and could be a hazard to any future excavators who can't identify the raceway as electrical. I know there are much worse hazards and clearer code violations, but that's my take on this one. As a code minimum- If one or the other conductors(signal/ supply voltage) are in a raceway, no separation is required from the other. If both are direct buried cables, they must be separated by a minimum of 12 inches. As a general rule, if the

If I understand the question right, you want to cut the female plug off the end of a string to get them inside the candy cane and you are asking if you need to join the ends of the cut wires to each other once you cut the plug off the end of the string. Do not do this as it will create a dead short and best case, blow the fuses in the male plug end. Worst case, someone gets hurt or you start a fire. If you need to cut the female plug off the end of the string, tape or put shrink tubing on the ends of the wires so that they do not contact each other and so that no one can touch any exposed wi

Sometimes..................I was able to split strings of 60 count LED's into 30 count strings to rewire my candy canes. Is there a blob in the middle of the string? Thanks all for the kind words about my display. Steve
