Star Lord 0 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I plan to attach my C7 bulbs to 1/2" PVC conduit with zip ties for quick installation and removal. When attaching around door and window frames, what clips would you suggest that are weather proof that I could leave up all year. Thanks, James Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone tried Magnets? There are recessed ones used on furniture like this https://www.zoro.com/monroe-pmp-magnetic-catch-pull-to-open-aluminum-4fcy2/i/G2771361/ (not a fan of this vendor , but this is an idea . ) Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. P 713 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I have had these clips from HC on my eaves for the last seven years as my eave lights stay up year round. https://www.holidaycoro.com/Half-Inch-Lexan-Pipe-Mounting-Clip-p/770.htm 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Mine break every time I remove anything. Even the ones inside on my garage wall where I have my test props. I hate to see what happens when I have to change a light from my roof after 4 years of total exposure. As long as I don’t touch them they should be fine. i used to make my own out of pvc T’s or whatever I had. Got lazy and tried the coro ones. JR 1 Link to post Share on other sites
k6ccc 1,072 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 There are several styles of metal clips intended for holding brooms (and similar tools). Link to post Share on other sites

Not all of mine break but the ones that are in direct sunlight almost always break when I remove something. I have several of the pvc clips but have yet to use them. Link to post Share on other sites
