Nice set up James. The pier design looks well thought through.

The great thing about them is that they are waterproof, and very robust! Dew wont be affecting these! they give off a really nice suttle red at night
Just seen a recall for red chain led lights sold from Big W. yiu might wanto check just in case. Pm sent as well

Yup they are my LEDS

although im not too worried, i just clecked the every cm of the lights while off, and then rechecked while on. I could not see any exposed wiring, and as an added bonus i didnt get zapped either.

Cheers for the heads up

My Observatory is completely powered off at the mains after use, but i will still keep an eye on it, when in use.

and thanks again DJT
