I hope so.

Interesting!

How much of each colour are you seeking?  Will you need a driver?
I have 175' of blue, 165' green and 80' red, cut up in lengths of 50' or
less.  The drivers are good for 25-50', but if you have less than 25' of
wire, the driver could be loaded with an appropriate capacitive load
(maybe even resistive).

It is still all connected to the parade float in the garage.  The end of
season pretty much happenned around the parade, so I had no great need
to dismantle the float and I've just had a suggestion to try and work
something out for Winterlude.  It would be better I suspect to remove it
once it warms up to avoid the possibility of cracking it.  The cold
itself shouldn't be an issue if it isn't moved and it is protected from
UV.
