      "Are you threatening me" 😂Always appreciate the support Karl. Wait until you see the room by room videos. I just installed more than 100 lights and switches. This weekend is all about backyard prep for some projects out there, but then back to lighting by room, and the increase in brightness and control over the lighting is phenomenal.
      Chat soon, 🥃🍻

      @@faqnatics Cheers, Brett! speaking of light, it might be time to change the end trailer vehicle from the sound of slow to the light speed of plaid. 🤠🔋⚡️🏎️💕

      LOL, sure, I can just put the sound of a weed whacker over it to generate the sound. At least I know my ICE car won't lose to a Cybertruck, although a plaid is still faster, but that can go away in the turns, or after a couple of laps, so the end car stays for the moment... 😉
      I'd love to test a Plaid on track though and see if and how my time changes.

    Wish I was a LED guru - starting in the theater first... my house is era '93 and quite devoid of any lighting - other than ceiling fans with lights 😢

      Always happy to look at any drawings. The beauty of a lot of this LED strip lighting is that it’s low voltage, so you can hide the power brick somewhere and the led channel can take various shapes depending on what you need.
      Of course you don’t want to kill the aesthetic of the room, but I know a manufacturer that even makes a great black frosted lens, and mixed with a black or thin metal extrusion channel makes for a very low profile build when the lights are off.
      Right now it’s all about general lighting in the house, but I’ll for sure be doing some cool stuff in the theater and garage when it’s time.
      Appreciate the comments.

    I’ve been throwing around ideas about outdoor lighting and want to do it myself, but have a hard time designing it what are some tips about what to illuminate?

    • @faqnatics

      So trees and bushes are some natural things to highlight from a natural perspective. In addition materials like rock, stone, columns, and arches or roof peaks are most common.
      Plus you’ll want to look at pathways, patios, and any stairs you might have.
      Combining flood lights and cameras around some patio or driveways is also good to do.
      Uplighting is common for a lot of that, but for larger trees or pathways around larger trees, you can down light from higher up in the trees canopy.
      Let me know if I can answer any other questions or introduce you to a local outdoor lighting expert.
