The sweltering August heat of the south is beating down 100+ temps, but Im off in a land dreaming of cool crisp air, miles of extension cords and thousands of twinkeling lights. This season will be our first run with LOR hardware. I really enjoyed my home brew stuff- it had good run of 2 seasons, but upgrading to lor will allow me much more precise control, more chanels, and ability to fade intensitys.
