    Thanks, I just ordered the lights and will be installing on my trim router as soon as it arrives. I'm going to be routing out designs and inlaying epoxy for my Goddaughter's pray kneeler. The additional lighting will aid in seeing what I'm doing.

  • @donaldhamel9311
    @donaldhamel9311 3 роки тому +1

    Hey Dave, just caught your fairy lights video and I would use velcro to attach the battery case so change out for the lights and battery would I think be easier. Just a thought. I bought some fairy lights but haven't mounted them any of my routers because I'm still using the snake lights and I wrapped the USB cord around the router cord and zip tied them together because I really don't like to have to change batteries just plug and play.
    I have 12 routers and 4 of them are palm routers set up for sign carving 🙃👍

    I noticed the fairy lights in your Amazon store (in white color) use two AA batteries now instead of the button batteries. I wonder if this would make the control box too big to mount on the side of the router?
