Hi, first time poster.
Background:
* We have these plastic candy canes, each ~2 feet tall. 8 canes per strand, spaced about 30 inches apart. We have 5 sets total
* The strands are showing their age. I can't find a replacement light sets. It's almost like they are a beefier icicle strand or something.
I want to re-wire them, possibly replace with wooden candy canes that I make.
I want to make it super simple to maintain
My thought is to use 1 strand per candy cane, like a simple strand of 10 lights.
What I'm struggling with is how to connect all the strands together.
I think I need an extension cord where I can place an outlet anywhere I want.
Going by the existing sets I have, I'm going to guess I should only place 8 canes per extension cord.
I'm also little concerned about water and moisture, since we get a lot of rain here in the Pacific Northwest
Does something like this exist?
I'm open to suggestions and advice.
Thanks in advance.
