"you just burnt the shii out of something you are working on.... Or does that only happen to me!"

Nope, you're not alone. I was soldering a stained glass thinggy for wifey a while back - so much solder on those things - a big drip landed just south of ground zero.

It's always fun too when you're using shrink tubing and it slides down near the solder joint before you're ready - *&^%*&^

BTW Kenny - didn't mean to jack your thread. Your lights look great & I agree that the white will be much better than the red.
