here is one of my new favorites (I just finished it tonight)
there is about 200' of 24volt LED RGB IP-68 Flex Strip installed here (like rope light only better)
I just used large coated wire staples to hold it in place and ran 2x runs (one down each side of the big peak) of 18-4 wire to the basement where the power supply and controllers are.
I just connected one of our RF Remote Controllers to it for now until I get around to installing the DMX Controller and programming the year long calendar for different colors and fades for each season and holidays.
I couldn't believe how far the controller went it was installed in the basement and I went over 800' away all the way out to the street and it was still working (I may have to make a note on the website that if anyone on your block has the same one they will be able to control your lights)
here is the best part
the whole 200' only uses 15 Watts at the low setting (that I like for a nice outline) and 150 watts at the bright setting that lights up the whole yard (but is quite catchy).
















ok this is on dim maybe 10%



and this is medium



and this is bright

i was going to use 2x power supplies but after hooking it up and seeing how much power it uses i think unless they are going to be using it on bright a lot it doesn't need the 2nd one so i haven't hooked it up

Wow! What a great project. I wonder what it looks like from far away and via a birds eye view too. Good work!

i would love to go up in a small plane and see what it looks like from up in the air but i don't know when that will happen.

we did another sweet project the other day where we decked out a deck with RGB led flex strips so it can change colors with a remote control or audio based or if you wanted it to be really sweet you could use DMX to control it:-)

we made an instructable for it with how to instructions if anyone is interested
