Buy 1000ft for $80, although all they have in that length right now is grey in color.

I bought the Grey and it is very easy to work with. I have used it to make the extensions for my leaping arches.

Did you guys notice the fiberglass boxes at the bottom of that skycraftsurplus.com page? Those look about the right size for our boards and they have 187 left for only 12.50 each? Thats a steal. Thats also a great deal on the zip cord.

I received my enclosure from Skycraft last week. They are slightly used with some holes that might need to be sealed depending on the application. Also they are plenty big, about twice the size of the CTB16PC enclosure.

Dang!! I just paid $33 each for 9 of them from Lowes (12x12x6), and they weren't even hinged!!

But I was able to fit in four boards into one...

Hi Jim,

Your not worried about heat with that many boards and a sealed cover? or are you leaving the cover off? Very nice setup though,

Bill

Now to find the vampire fangs.

Get them from my whole sale supplier if you want. I only pay $0.56 each. They only sell them in 100 ct lots, for $56. They where $45 last year but the price I has gone up since than. There is two places I go to.

One is:
http://www.ormaninc.com/catalog/?ProductID=33LPG

But you have to have an account and be a retailer, or know someone who will buy them for you :P, If so, they are only $0.10 each!

http://www.thechristmaslightpros.com/store/index-page-category-catid-180-clp-spt-1_plug_ends.htm

But they only sell male for $0.56

Sometimes:
http://www.ledlightsite.com/store/p/1221-Accessories-Electrical-Plug-male-green-slide-on-SPT-1.aspx

But here they are $0.70.

LOL...I figured someone would bring up the heat issue!! I am running all LED's and will have MAX, three strings per channel. I think it averages out to less than 1.5 strings per channel for all my enclosures, and I VERY seldom have all my lights on at the same time...maybe two or three times during a show and that would be for a few seconds at the end of a song.

Yes, was planning on having the cover on since they will be out in the weather, but I plan on watching the heat issue very closely.

I wouldn't recommend The Christmas Light pro store, I didn't have a good experience with them.

If I may ask, what problem did you have? (You can PM the reply if you wish. Just wondering.)

I posted about it here http://lightorama.mywowbb.com/view_topic.php?id=22172&forum_id=81&jump_to=201825

Additionally, the order was short, it had 95 main pieces, and 111 of the sliding ends (Some one had trouble counting). It took 2-3 weeks for them to respond to me about that issue, they did send out 5 more ends to make up for it, but it was a lot of work to deal with them (him).

Also, the email addresses listed on their contact page, are invalid, and get bounced back, at least they did a month ago.
