Re: Light up Disney Castle # 71040
Yup, it's obviously castle day in Modularton's theme park area - which still lacks a name. Side question: Is there a method to the madness in terms of how the color-changing lights work in…

@Paul George Admittedly inelegant, but removing the two lower columns and lowering the chandelier helps enough with a good (better) set of tweezers. I *adore* the Velcro tabs on the back of the 2:…

Re: Longer Picos?
@Tony Nixon One question eliminated, thanks Tony! Two follow-up questions - were those a custom order for your project, and what sort of length(s) did you end up using?

Longer Picos?
I'm sure I blew over the "standard" length of the pico lights (12-inch i think? Didnt see it in the bulk light description unless I blew by it)... but, is there any appetite for longer wires, say,…

Re: 4 Channel Controller with the 3-button remote?

Re: Light up Disney Castle # 71040
@Crissy Chan Not one drop, no. 🙂 In my specific 'use case,' I did (queue gasps) hacksaw four parts and trim three others. I'm 98% certain it's due to how I have the castle on a baseplate,…
