Can you say SUNBURN

Since the LOR are only 16 channels I would start with 20. You can allways work up from there.

That's right, never throw lights away. In every dead string there is at least 22' of 22 Gauge wire. I have bundles of that wire from old dead strings. I just cut the wire out of the string. Then when I make up my string I solder a 22' extension (or whatever I need) to the end of my string. I had 16 Gauge cords that went to the controller, and all my controllers have 6' to 15' pigtails and all my props have 6' to 22' leads on them. With 320 channels and about 400 plugs, I used less than 2 dozen 18 gauge extension cords other than the controller power. Next year with a little better pla

Just keep in mind that the July 4th is on a Sunday this year and that may tie a lot of people up the last weekend in June. (9 day vacation) A week before would be better.

I'm still waiting a couple more years. The Box Store LED are crap, look like crap, and fail. The vendor's that sell "top quality" have even had problems with their product.

Dad bought some and half way through the year pulled them off the tree and put the C7's back up. Now we accept them and know how to fix them just the way they are. In a few years LED's will be all we have and we will learn how to fix them and the quality will be up and the price down. Until

No LOR here. My controllers are all DIY Renards. Yes, moisture can cause a channel to com on or partially come on. You can cover them with bags and they still may get damp inside. In funky wet weather condensation can form if the board is warmed and cooled. Many times when they dry out everything will be fine. It is possible that a Triac could be fried. I replaced two on one controller tonight. I noticed a couple days ago these would sometimes act up. Finally they were just stuck on at about 50%. Other than the fact that a channel stays on dim, it really should not hurt anything. I
