I took this picture of the controller boxes that I made.

I designed and 3D printed little angle brackets to hold the power supply in place. This picture was before I drilled holes for the power/date wires going out of the box to XT30 and XT60 connectors so I can quickly connect/disconnect the controller from the wires that are run through the attic. I also later added a 12V fan to help cool. It switches on any time the lights are on.

My wife hates it. 50% of our neighborhood has it and all the houses look the same. Big pet peeve for her.......

TBF, the Jellyfish houses near us are the ones that look a lot better than most.

Seems like folks have to justify the $ by using them year round. Tacky IMO

I did a DIY permanent install. It’s a large install of almost 4000 LEDs across 135 meters. I spent maybe $3k plus a lot
