Bruce Ingebretsen Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I'm kind of surprised that no one has mentioned that today is the 25th. Two months until Christmas.That's either depressing or if you are in good shape, exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffF Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Very exciting!!! (and busy!)I decided to do a late project and re-do my Bethlehem star in C7 lights instead of the minis I first used. Now instead of a 3' high star that was only going to use ~1.3A of power I have a 6'2" giant that is going to gulp down ~7.5A... which I didn't account for so I'm going to have to re-route some controller channels. It's all fun though!!!-Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I am pumped up!! Put up my first lights yesterday on my roof (since the weather is still decent). And will probably do a few more today after church!! I'm just trying to hurry the time along so I can start this thing. Almost 30 days until showtime.

But I have a question that I think I know the answer to but I want to be positive.I'm pretty sure you are all using three channels for this star, what I want to make sure about is on what. I figure one channel is for the inner star, the second is for the larger star and the third is for the rays. Is that correct?I'm going to build a slightly scaled down version of Walters wire frame since it is so windy here in Los Banos CA. I will also have to redesign the roof mounting method since my roof is different than those shown.Thanks in advance,Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
