"Jay Honeck"
shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

-

-Figuring one light every couple of feet, I suppose we'd need 15 per side, so
-30 total? They'd need to be sequenced so that they "chase" properly, both
-rows together. And I'll need to wire this into a motion sensor of some
-sort, so it's not running 24/7...

Not a problem. A bit more efficient of design if you can use 10 or 20, but if
15 is your choice, 15 we can design.

You want TWO rows running in parallel? Not a problem; just a bit more
complexity, but damned little.

What's the problem running 24/7? It uses less power than a flashlight. Best
calculation shows running 24/7 to be less than $0.50 a year in power bill.

-This is so crazy, I think it will be GREAT. :-)

-Tell you what : Help me make this goofy idea work, and I'll throw in your
-night's stay for the 2nd Annual Oshkosh Pool Party!
