  1. Hey, where is GreatScott? We're discussing Wago vs wirenuts! (and I'm from Europe, the winner is clear :)) Okay, let's move on to that long wire loop and lamp switch-on delay problem... On a more serious note, I've mounted and repaired more than just a few of these fixtures. One had two strings of LEDs (warm and cold white) with a microcontroller that toggled between cold, neutral and warm white when power was turned off and on again. It had an interesting failure: a cold joint on one of the microcontroller's pins caused the LEDs to flicker or not turn on at all. Problem solved by removing all "excess" parts and hardwiring the thing to the desired color temperature. I prefer keeping things simple, reliable, elegant and beautiful. As always, I love your insights - and I've been missing you! And your lava lamp too :) "Boob light" LOL!
