Below photo shows 20' of light strips with C9 LED lights ready to mount.
Below photo shows first 10' section mounted with extension pole.
Below photo shows first 10 ' section mounted.
BELOW PHOTO SHOWS 2ND 10' SECTION MOUNTED.
BELOW PHOTO SHOWS COMPLETE MOUNT AFTER CENTER SECTION IS MOUNTED. TO MOUNT THIS 20' SECTION TOOK 2 1/2"MIN. SOME OF THE BULBS NEED ALIGNING AND THIS CAN BE DONE WITH PUSH ROD OR LADDER.
BELOW PICTURE SHOWS 2 TYPES OF MOUNTING. THE UPPER PICTURE SHOWS SYSTEM USING 1/2 PVC SCHDULE 40. THE LIGHT STRIP (BROWN-I WAS OUT OF WHITE) IS NOT MOUNTED. THE BOTTOM SHOWS SHOWS LIGHTING STRIP MOUNTED TO 1"X1/8" ALUMINUM FLAT BAR. USING PVC IS CHEAPER AND WORKS WELL. THE HOSE SHOWN IS MOUNTED BETWEEN SECTIONS AND KEEPS UNITS ALIGNED DURING INSTALLATION AND FOLDS 90 DEGREES FOR STORAGE. I USE ELECTRICAL TAPE TO INSTALL LIGHT BAR TO PVC. I TRIED CAULK GLUE BUT THE BOND BROKE LOOSE DURING HANDLING. ELECTRICAL TAPE WORKS GREAT, I USE TAPE EVERY 16"FOR MOUNTING. I ALSO USE RED TAPE WHICH SHOWS LOCATION OF PLUGS ON MY TRUNK CORDS. THIS MAKES IT EASY TO LOCATE PLUGS AT TAKEDOWN.
THE OVER ALL SYSTEM WORKS BECAUSE OF LIGHT STRIPS AND LIGHT CLIPS FROM http://WWW.COLONNADE.COM WHICH MAKES CLIPS FOR MINI,C7AND C9 WHICH I AM USING.
BELOW PHOTO IS KEY TO THIS SYSTEM. THIS IS MOUNTING BRACKET MADE FROM 1"X1/8" ALUMINUM BENT TO FIT GUTTER. THIS IS MOUNTED WITH POP RIVETS. THE ABOVE PICTURE SHOWS BRACKET WITH 2 U BRACKETS. THE ONE MOUNTS TO GUTTER AND THE BACK SIDE IS USED BY PUSH ROD.
I ALSO USE THIS ON 2 STORY MOUNT AT FRONT OF HOUSE. THIS IS DONE WITH POOL CLEANING EXTENSION POLE WHICH OPENS TO 16'. THIS IS A 2 PERSON OPERATION. ONE ON TOP OF 8' LADDER AND 2ND PERSON TO HANDLE OTHER END OF LIGHT ROD.
BELOW PHOTO SHOWS 30' OF LIGHT RODS STORED IN MY GARAGE ON TOP OF MY WATER DISPLAY. THESE WILL BE STORED IN MY 16' TRAILOR AFTER THIS SEASON.
