Step 5Wires
Now, 16 more times!!
I soldered the incoming power lines (wall plug) on the timer, and then ran separate "hot" and "on" lines to each light socket.
The best thing you can do while doing all that soldering is listen to the Capstan Shafts ask "Negative Man, what's the Anti-matter?" and profess, "You run the disco of my heart!"
How do you connect 16 "hot" socket wires, and 16 "on" socket wires to the power? WIRE NUTS! They're the best ever! You can just screw them onto a bajillion wires, and bam! They're all connected!
I'll make an insulating plastic box for the timer later. You could use a metal box instead, as long as you grounded it.
About halfway through the wiring project, I think about how little I'd like me or my roommates to get shocked by 125VAC as an alarm clock, and electrical tape everything metal.
That's it! Set the time and go! Wake up basking in the glory of your winter-sunshine!
