      Yes, I soldered mine as you can see, the other ends are just a push fit with the tiny 4 pin plug.  Tim will supply your boards with a hole cut in the lighting pelmet as standard (if you choose that design).

      If you don't want to solder there are snap connectors but they all looked pants.  That's not to say you won't find a decent set 👍

      I've used self adhesive LED lighting strip bought in a kit with 5m of the strip (warm and cool white mix, see pic below), transformer and controller from TLC Electrical, I think it was £35 at the time.

      This goes in trunking from the same vendor cut to size (3' in my case), see below.

      Held up with good old velcro.

      The photo back up there is at maximum brightness, which you can adjust to the level you like using the supplied handset.  You can have cool white or warm white, either or a mix of the two.

       

      Enjoy 👍

    A new revelation to me is shrink wrapped pallets, never had a delivery in this new format before.

    Of course, it being Friday afternoon and me not having a knife to hand, it looks like a Monday job to me 😜

     

    Have a lovely weekend people 👍

      Ah, that's how it's done.  We used to get them in bog-standard pallet wrap until now.  They're wrapped so tight there's no strapping, just a sheet of hardboard on the top of the boxes 👍

      or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam?

      Absolutely Captain, it's all got rather dreary of late, one could almost say monochrome (if one had one's teeth in).

      To make amends, here's a Vermeer to cheer us all up 👍

    What does the panel think of using swede (that'll be neep to viewers up top, but who cares as they're rutabagas anyway) in a veg curry?

     

    The Mrs has gone off to meet her daughter in Malta for 10 days and left loads of veg that isn't pies, sausages, white bread or chips and I'm bu99ered if I know what to do with it!

      Actually, I've off to Radstock soon... I could just leave it in The Square (don't ask) for them to worship until sunset.

      No way, the Pegster has left the building, and the only other option is the neighbours cat who's armed with too many flick knives for my liking. 

       

       

      Do Alsatian's eat swede?  I don't have one but there's one a couple of doors up.
