Thanks for your reply. Didn't really fancy having all the lights on at once but your suggestion about setting up different circuits with the copper strips would be a good idea. I'll run it past my hubby, hopefully he'll work it all out for me. Bye

[quote=St.Vale;100620]Hiya Treehugger,

My first house came ready built and already wired with copper tape method!

The tape went up the inside back of the house top to bottom and branched out along underneath each of the ceilings. We added more tape for sockets and wall lights, all of this was internal in the house with only a small socket on the outside to plug the transformer into. I just assume that is how you do the copper tape as I have never done it myself before![/quote
Hi Val,I have seen photos of houses with the copper tape on the inside, but DHE show you to put it on the back of the house......anyway, I have almost finnished doing my lights now in Brandy view....I had a go at them last night as I had got so sick of them niggling me. Lol....only 2 more lights to do now and then it's done!!....I used the socket strip in the end as I chickened out and was scared to cut the wires to solder them to the copper tape, in case I did it wrong.
