Andy did separate the Christmas lights.
But they didn’t look like Christmas from the road about a mile away. Combined they were bright enough to see easily as a white light, even though the total was only 25 watts, but I needed the binoculars or the zoom lens on my camera to distinguish the colors. Andy said he could barely distinguish them.
So when we got back home last night we went on the internet and found some 23-watt colored compact flourescent bulbs, so we’ll try those next. If they work they will hopefully be several times brighter than what we have now. That’s a big if, but it’s worth a try.

Just as I thought. Andy will not give up so easily!
Yes, no surprise there. 🙂
With a timer at that power consumption? Eight of them?
We have one timer for all of them . Right now it’s only 25 watts and the timer is set for about an hour when we’re there to look at it. During the Christmas season, if our system works, the power will be only 115 watts and we will set the timer for about five hours, starting at about 5 pm. We have plenty of electricity for that.
keep on plugging on Andy, you will get there sooooooooooooon
Maybe not soon, but he will keep plugging. 🙂
I must say,
your Andy is like a dog with a bone
and I love that!
