@amyworrall Ha, nice, sometimes the simplest solutions are all that's needed!
I save my own unnecessary "shouldn't this stuff be in a theatre not your garden" lighting rig for Christmas, so I love seeing people's Halloween rigs.
@gilester45 one year I’m actually going to plan ahead and do something less “thrown together in two hours”!
There’s a house across from me that goes all out with Christmas lights. He once popped over and asked where I got my coloured festoon — I think my answer (“surplus inventory sale at a hire company”) surprised him!
@amyworrall Heh, kudos on him for noticing you had something he couldn't find down the garden centre.
Loads of houses around here have pretty decent displays but they're all cheap junk off Amazon.
And, admittedly, I have some, but most of my lights are professional sets like the council uses. And then a bunch of LED lighting off Thomann.
I've so far managed to miss all the decent stuff the hire companies I know flog off, but I keep checking just in case.
