Pretty easy Dave, you can get connectors for about a pound each, or if you are good at soldering it should be easy to tack some cable on. Then just give them 12V dc and start playing with the remote. I am gonna get three of them . They wont be for the pond water really but I`ll use them as uplighters for the surrounding vegetation, although they should be easy enough to waterproof and put under the water level. dave

Thanks Robby - I'll check out connectors as my soldering skills are zero. I'm not planning on putting them under water so should be fairly straightforward. I'm still pondering whether to go down the AC/DC route which would be simple enough or look into battery powered possibilities.

Hook em up to a car battery hidden somewhere.

I am in the fortunate position of having a metre square solar panel which I imported from China a few years ago, so it keeps an old car battery of mine topped up and a timer for the lights which come on at sunset via a light detector and switch off at bedtime to save the battery and keep it in good nick. One thing you could use is connector blocks, if you are lucky you might find some that are the right distance apart to fit the two pins on the lamps, Failing that you could just cut off individual blocks. dave

Depending on positioning you could always hook them up to the nearest lamp post, free energy and built in light sensor..

Nice find Simon

[hesta]

Well, my earliest sent delivery arrived the day after my other one, I shouldn't have doubted them! Although postage is seeming to take longer at the moment, maybe due to the influx of orders robby is generating!

I had to have a giggle at this listing, clearly someone failed to notice that all the attachments had fell out

Good find Simate. An alternative I'm thinking is to go down this route:

www.fasttech.com/products/2201/10000835/1071201-gu10-3w-16-color-led-light-bulb-with-ir-remote-con

I see they also do connectors for these and I could then just wire them up to the mains. Actually I might try some of their GU10 LED lights in my kitchen which has loads of halogen lights in it. The variations in Watts, Lumens and light colour will take a bit of deciphering though!

Well, my 2 novas arrived today, and I must say I am completely disappointed! They are totally unusable, due to the only airway in being on the very bottom of the post, which to be working has to be on top of the battery, this means there is zero draw on them (unless they aren't connected to a battery lol)! I'll contact ft after work later, win some lose some

[stu1873]

Ah bugger. i have one on the way aswell.
