m3chris Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Was wondering on how you guys mount the rgb strips to the house? Also ready to order a ready to go dc controller, to start experimenting for next year... They seem to be out of stock, anyone who sells them know an eta?

tofer26 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I used TJ's idea from here and it worked great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3chris Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 With the clear PVC? There were never any pics in that post, do you have any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tofer26 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 It's kind of a milky white color. If you do a search on lowes you can find PEX cold water pipe 10' for $5. It is not clear but the lights show through really nice plus it protects your strips from the elements especially if you mount them under the gutters.

m3chris Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 Question on length of wire to add to a rgb 5 meter strip with 150 LEDs. How much wire can I add to it to reach from the controller to the beginning of the strip? CMB16D using 18awg wire. To reach the end of my home two of the strips would be about a 50ft wire run, and then the length of the strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santas Helper Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I used a staple gun. The width of the size staples worked out perfectly and was very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
