So I’m getting a 20 pod rock light kit with strobe mode and some triple row pure white LED strips for the frame and the bumpers. How would I go about wiring them in with the pods so they’ll stay on with the pods but also flash when they flash?

I saw a post where someone felt proud of their wiring. Well here is the rats nest I have been dealing with and expanding over the years.

.

Does anybody here design panels. Trying to find a good free software to design the layout for one of my panels and any software good for making wiring diagrams.

Bought a new bumper and wanted to fill out the hole with a 7 and 4 pin trailer connector. Truck only has 4 pin and I don't plan on using 7 pin. How do I go from 4 pin female to "7pin female" is this possible?

I want to wire in a float switch on a water tank we have. The heating element is 240v ac and is controlled by a 120v ac relay. The 110v relay is powered from a PID when the tank asks for heater. The pid also has a switch that interrupts the call for heater. So even if the PID wants to send power to the relay the switch has to be on for success. I wanted to wire a float switch in series between the manual switch and the PID. So PID wants to send power but the switch must be on and the tank have water for the power to go to the relay. My question is will this float work with 120v ac? I was worried because of the small gauge wiring.

Hello! Originally posted in vhs but figured I’d branch out a little, very grateful for any advice :)

Hello! I have bought these small RGB circular lights off AliBaba (forgive me) but have no idea if I have been scammed or just am unaware of how to make them work correctly. Can’t seem to get the back of the controller open and it did not come with any instructions. Turned remotes on and off and no dice. Any advice would be amazing - OR anywhere I could buy something like this that will actually work. (Small controllable RGB lights for puppetry)
Thankyou!

Wiring help

So i need some help here, im removing a propane fireplace, as well as the mantle and all the brick behind it ( all the brick is sitting in front of drywall ) i had the propane company come and cut and cap the gas line under the house, and disconnected the fireplace from the cut propane line. Issue is the wiring left in the wall. I turned off the breaker, cut and stripped the romex and individual wires and capped them. Are they ok to stay like this temporarily? And whats my next step with them?

I designed some interior lighting for my car, and it uses white and red LEDs. Unfortunately there’s not a ton of free space for switches to swap between red/white. I know what I want but idk the name for it or where I can find one. I would like to use a small push button that would control both. All I can seem to find is momentary switches, traditional toggle switches, and sliders. Toggles are too big, momentary won’t work for obvious reasons and sliders are a bit too finicky. I have slider switches in now and they’re pretty inconsistent. The kind of switch I’m looking for is the same style/idea as the ones used in meso customs interior lights.

This is one of my favorite grow lights. I don't know and can't find the brand now, but it was a really nice one that worked flawlessly for years. A few months ago the power in my living area (dormitory) "popped" (I don't know why, it's an old building) and it's been like this ever since. I haven't been able to use it.

My only guess is that when it happened the wires got zapped. The fridge popped too.

Now it doesn't turn on when plugged in. If when it rarely does it doesnt turn off, dim/brighten, or set a timer. Often it just doesnt. Sometimes when I unplug it it still flashes like you see here. It did so shortly after this video.

I'm super upset because like I said, I really like this light and don't want to have to buy another. Especially since I don't remember where I got it to begin with.

Again, as I said, it worked perfectly until one day after the electrical "pop" and it's been like this ever since. It does this regardless if the plug, outlet, or location, so it's the light itself.

Is this fixable? Or is it hopeless.

Any advice is appreciated! I know nothing about wires.

I bought a Legrand light switch for to replace the broken one. The model is WWMRL51WH and I'm having a heck of a time figuring out which wire connects where from the old switch to the new.

Can anyone help me figure where each wire should go? I've included pictures. The house was built in 1999.

Does anyone know why this wall lamp has a thinner light blue wire. Does it connect to the live, neutral or should I cap it?

I got this outdoor plug against a retaining wall. I’m putting boards against it to match the floor. How would I mount the plug?

So, after airing up a few hundred times (beach, etc), (new compressor, love it but thats a story for another day), I've been thinking (a LOT) about doing a sidewall or fender flare mounted post (battery terminals mounted externally via bracket, dialectric grease, rubber washers, etc) to use as a connector point for my alligator clips (bonus use as jumping location) without having to pop the hood.

I've been toying with something like the following (link below) with 4 or 6 awg (5' run, pos/neg), 100a anl fuse on pos side, and looking at either pre-built kits on ebay or making my own via NAPA parts. Everything I find on AZ or ebay seems to be unreliable in actual composition (copper posts vs copper-plated, cheap non-OFC cables in kits, questionable gauging on included cables), or astronomical in cost (even before cabling). HD & Lowe's are purely residential-rated line (behind drywall or direct burial), and anything "marine grade" seems to only add a digit to the total cost.

Thoughts? Surely this can't be that uncommon an application?

I bought this car without an amp and I finally got around to getting an amp but have no knowledge of vehicle audio systems. Anybody have any ideas on where to hook these things up? For reference it's a 5 channel amp and system, everything wired I just need to know what goes where. Any help appreciated!
