Can I hang Smart String nodes along gutter?

[Zeph]

It looks intriguing.  I like the idea I see about putting the wiring between pixels inside a pvc pipe, and showing the pixels through holes.  But how to get that assembed could be a big challenge!

With the J shape, I can imagine hiding the wires in the tray and showing just the pixels.  But it depends on how sturdy it is.  I look forward to reports from people seeing it in person (or using it!)

Where is that, are there any pictures of how they mount it to the house?

It took me a while tho find the stuff I saved... Too much stuff lol. They used 3" spacing,and drilled a pilot hole on face of strip and screwed it to the house. ( more pics are attached) look on home depot web site and go to lattice  Find model # V9663

You have any larger pics, can barely see anything.  Just wanted to see how it looks.

[twooly]

Thanks just getting ideas 

[t.jo13]

I upsiized pics for you but if you can't see them well enough I made a diagram to show you how they mount.

Very nice and very interesting.

(BTW, that is the one I linked to in msg #18 above)

[t.jo13]

Yes your link is correct. Here is the item and part # for lowes. I'm a lowes guy.      Item #: 94468 |  Model #: 73004326

t,jo13 - Do you leave them up year round? Or do you take them down each year?

Thanks,

[t.jo13]

I am in the process of buiding this setup, but the guy that gave the imput leaves them up all year afaik. He used dumb nodes, so I am trying to do it with smart strings. I am also using this setup around windows and doors. I am miter cutting @ 45 degrees for a clean install. I would like to use dumb nodes but I don,t think they are availble with lynx equipment yet.

dumb nodes are available with the mr16 and the dumb string controller that RJ is working on, but i don't know the specs of it as far as voltages it will handle.  i almost want to say 12v would be safe, but i don't know.
