https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/9ae193e2-99cc-4b3d-9f06-f163ff18c0a7 I was finally getting round to putting some Christmas lights outside my house, and chose to do the usual frame with a background of 200 green LEDs. 200 shady Chinese death-trap LEDs, but with a very current limited supply that makes them safer. I decided to experiment with adding a bit of waterproofing to ordinary heat-shrink sleeved LEDs by dabbing some holt melt glue on the back where I think most of the moisture wicks in, and then adding a small heat-shrink sleeve to re-melt the glue and squish it up the end and around the wires. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but deciding to test it on a 200 LED set was probably a bad idea. It's always quite therapeutic doing a repetitive task though.
