MikeA Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I was doing just fine until I was setting up my mega tree for testing this weekend and it fell over. Every string (64 of them) were damaged in some way.I spent the rest of the weekend fixing them and then building a tree lifting system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magish01 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Tested all the lights before putting them up. Got the gable and eve strings up and apparantly a wire got pulled and resistors in LED failed. Now have to get some "cheap" blue strings to replace. Love setting up multiple times!!

Seriously..sorry to hear it. Was it a home-brew design...or a kit type of thing, or..?What did you do to avoid a repeat of the same issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Clapper Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Ok, had a productive day. Eveything except my arches has been installed and tested. I need to run cords to my first arch and plug them into the cords already made for my second arch(they are doubled). Then I still need to wire up two outlets for power and hook up my fm transmitter. Other than that I'm ready to go. Oh yeah and I also gotta get my voiceovers sent to and back from the demented elf. I hope he has time to get them to me. Not counting that it is currently monday there is less than 5 days til the show starts(night after Thanksgiving) and I will probably run it once Thanksgiving night as we are having family over that day. Good luck everyone, and Happy Lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
