Hi B Man. Absolutely love your bar! I thought I recognised it! I love shed of the year! Iv been binge watching it from the start! Love that there’s some fellow tiki fans in the UK! I’m currently building my own home tiki bar! The blue monkey lagoon! Love your float lights! I’m having trouble with the bulbs for mine! What did you use?

Thanks Tom

Sounds great Tom! & great name! Float lights were a good project! Took some doing, especially drilling the holes in the glass(easy to break). Unfortunately I didn't keep a diagram of the circuit I used. Basically, a 12v power supply. Straw hat coloured LEDs to match the coloured glass. Parallel circuit with resisters attached to each LED. I used a test circuit board to build the circuit & test before building. Unfortunately won't be easy to change a bulb, the entire rig will need taking down. Will look out for your progress! Cheers.
