the 2001 display- Daytime...
The following photos show my lights during daylight hours- mainly to give an idea of how I make them stay in place, and how the power gets to them. Generally I just make do with what I have to hand, it`s not unknown for me to improvise when it comes to fixing part of the display in place, though I always ensure it`s safe and not too unsightly during the daytime. Some methods I use are very effective, others not-so, it`s a learning curve- the more of these I do, the easier I find it is to put them all up, and make sure they stay up!
