Im thinking of getting 3 of those. Just waiting for a ssc  and 16 hub coop. Did you get a break on the shipping if you ordered more than one?
Do you have a picture of them lit up?

Well...  Hurry up and mock up the arches so I can see what they look like so I can get my order in.  Need to get this figured out before Halloween.

when you order the same item, you don't get a break on shipping, it's when you order a bunch of different items

when you can see it...  there's a section where it's looks like it's all white. they are actually showing all different colors, but it's too bright for my cell phone camera.
for the video, i actually stuck the strip inside of the 1inch thinwall pvc that you use for the ssc.

Wow the thin wall diffuses nicely.  Thanks.  Great idea!

i'm not entirelly sure if it's bright enough to use as a leaping arch, which i was playing around with to see. but it might have possibilities.

I've put a flex strip inside of a piece of 3/4 inch pex pipe and it looks pretty awesome.  I may mock up an arch when I get a chance.  I never thought of using PVC, it did not seem as translucent.  Pretty cool, I'll need to try them side by side and see.
