Hi Bruce,
Wot's an 'atwinkle' - Something Antipodean I guess like 'Illywhacker'
Noticed Ebay now has stacks of recovered Led strings, only yet done one Toshiba 'Vestel' so unsure whether all Leds are 3.2 mm square, and jump about a bit when you try re-solder to a strip, and get lost in the carpet.
Used LMP solder for my first one, and maybe should have used 'super glue' to hold them in place, as wasted two Leds due to excess heat and thick carpet - Chris.
