caniac Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 This has been a real challenge, I grossly underestimated the weight of 48 strands of lights. I am glad I replace the Sunsetter flagpole with the sturdier Tele-Pole model. Was also stressing about the lights being long enough, but after we got the pole up to it's full 20ft position the lights were plenty long enough. Tested the lights last night.

TitusCarnathan Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 let me know how well it holds up I might go that route next year for my mega tree instead of my current leaning tree of mega when I was attaching the pvc couplings together one of the couples was slightly off and long story short I have the leaning tower of pisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caniac Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 fired up just the tree tonight and all I can say is THANK YOU GUYS FOR RECOMMENDING C6. I was blown away and haven't even fired up the inner ring of C6's yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caniac Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 fired up the entire show last night and WOW. all the help I received here on what mega tree lights to use, tomato cages, wire ties, fire sticks, etc. has really paid dividends. extremely happy with my mini-tree's, wide angle led's are really really bright!! the better half is blown away by the mega tree and 5,000 C6's! The only near catastrophe was the mega tree star, we broke the connector raising the pole and wasn't sure how to fix (LED rope light). Quick thinking from the better half and we strapped three strands of LED's M5's to the star and it looks really nice.I can't thank you guys enough for all the advice, suggestions, help.
