Any promo codes available for the Big Gauge? Was hoping to find something with all of the sales going on right now.....appreciate it

I have a ton of MR points and want to treat myself with a splurge purchase. The merchant does not accept AMEX and only VISA/MC. I want to use my points for this items....what's the best way to accomplish? Just purchase VISA Gift Cards and on my Amex and pay with points? I know this has a poor redemption rate but wondering what my options are.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brand new to the sub, and looking for some guidance on what to purchase for my new outdoor kitchen. I want a dual fuel option so I can cook quickly when needed with gas, or get the wood fire version when I have time. The unit will sit on the counter....

I've looked at the Afla Moderno 3 and another from Forno Venetzia...not stuck on these....just what I have looked at.

Any suggestions and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Hive -

I'm in the process of getting an outdoor kitchen built in my backyard. The design has 51' of LED strip lighting installed. This outlines the underside of the cantilevered roof, around the cabinets and the front seating area. The lights will be placed inside a channel so IP rating is not as critical....what I do want is bright, addressable, and I think I want separate LED's for both whites. The contractor was originally going to put in some cheap kit...and I'd prefer to use a GLEDOPTO or similar controller so I can tie into HA.

Should I choose COB?
Should I choose 12v or 24v?

What would be the best way to tackle this project so I get good bright light when I need it, nice color glow at times, or a funky animation on part nights?

Your thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I have a bunch of the APPECK C6612-C Landscape Light Kits. This version of the kit has 4 lighting fixtures controllable by the SMART LIFE app. I really like the fixtures but their controllers are flakey and have failed on me multiple times. Is there a way I could use a small WLED controller to take these lights over?
