Orville Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I forget who but one person on here made lighted garden boxes that they use for both Holiday and off-season lighting. If you do a search here I think you may find quite a few other folks that are using them for different things both during and off-season lighting.

Bizywk Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Beyond holiday lighting, we've also taken a selectable color strip and attached it to the back of our family room wall mounted flat screen to give it a lighted color halo effect that has drawn a LOT of positive feedback. We also screwed & nailed 1x2's together into a U track and screwed them to my daughters room walls about 6" down from the ceiling, added decorative molding, and little drywall mud, and dropped in the lighting to give the room a BURST of indirect lighting - very pleasant for late night studying. Looking at removing our halogen pucks from under the kitchen cabinet and incandescent rope light from on top and replacing with strip lighting too. We have a small purchased sign for our front shrubs, backlit with our house number on it, that was driven by a solar rechargeable AA. The light worked for about a year. When I get time to figure out how best to do it, I'm looking to try to resurrect it by changing it over to run from our 12v Malibu lighting transformer, and perhaps turn our night security light system into something more such as running from a CTB16 a year or two down the road. Very tired of always changing the incandescent light bulbs & replacing the fixtures in the Malibu stuff. Those bulbs just run too hot and don't last long. A lot of folks are using them in their cars, headlights, RV's etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
