    Hello and help please with LED strips

    You will need a 12VDC power supply to feed your LED strip. I've only used the 3 wire strip, but it looks like you only need to connect these on yours: Red wire - supply White wire - ground Green wire - data pin Blue wire - ignore You can connect them by plugging into breadboard contacts, or...

Red goes to 5V connection of the micro White goes to 0V Green goes via resistor to data pin 4 (D4), although depends on what pin you are using in your software I haven't used the extra red and white power connections on the LED strip, but...

    Today I experienced the worst electric shock my career

    Well yes obviously, but if the transformer is indoors and your lights are 50m down the garden then it's very easy to need pretty big cables at 12V. It's fundamentally a bigger problem than when using 240V.

    At what voltage should a 1.5V battery be replaced?

    Indeed. And always worth giving the batteries a few spins while in place - sometimes cleans the contact areas up a bit.

    At what voltage should a 1.5V battery be replaced?

    There are battery testers available fairly cheaply, but to be honest I would just swap the batteries when your remote stops working.

    Anyone used these funky sockets ?

    Do they actually comply with BS1363?

    At what voltage should a 1.5V battery be replaced?

    Always difficult to judge the capacity of a battery just by measuring the open circuit voltage. A multimeter presents no load - once the battery is under any load the voltage will drop. And never use cheapy batteries. Definitely not the ones where you get twenty for a pound!

    Anyone used these funky sockets ?

    Form over function. But to be honest it looks like a cheap caravan install.

    Day 1: Who has an Electric Vehicle, either Electric Car for home, or Electric Van for Work?

    You'd be surprised how a car can look to have fairly superficial damage but be written off. Then someone makes a decent profit when they buy it off the insurance company and fix it themselves.
