Has anybody done away with the stupid little remote that comes with all the LED string lights out there?
I have them running around the inside perimeter of my truck camper and they're awesome...great for gentle ambient light while hanging out inside hiding from mosquitoes! But the stupid remote keeps acting up. Namely, it randomly will simply stop working for a while. Normally, reseating the remote's battery has worked, but tonight, sitting here in the shadow of the Tetons outside Alpine WY, it has decided to quit hardcore.
Can a person simply cut the little receiver eye off the light string and wire it into a normal switch? I never use the dimmer function (plus I could run it through a rheostat like my interior floods), and who the heck actually uses the fifteen different blinky settings??
Also, it should be mentioned, my light string has been hardwired into the camper electrical system via a converter box that turns 12v into the fairy lights' requisite 5v, so my problem isn't dead light batteries.
