Beautiful as always 💯 Will look for a finished video of the lights. I'm curious how it will look like in the night. Also the location of the lights seem closer to the top - not somewhere in the middle, which makes sense for reflection. Great decision. Thank you!

I prefer ebay for a variety of lights, and skip the connectors, just solder the wires together as needed. So many options, including regular outlet wall box controllers, using regular dimmer or there's touchscreen with color wheel for regular wall box, phone app. On one job I did them on the 3 sets of stairs, nice little copper colored eyebrow circle lights... maybe 50 lights in total. There was a phone app with those, which allowed you to set the lights to dim onto full at dark and dim out at dawn, based on sunrise and sunset always changing. The homeowner thought they had them set for that, but I was there about a year later doing other things on that house and notice they were on all the time. lol He didn't have them set right and just thought they were turning off during the day. So they ran a year on 24/7 (not at full brightness, they're adjustable as to how much they fade on to when they are on auto). A good stress test on them. Have also installed the kinds you're using there... bulky and messy, wires everywhere. Soldering the connections much cleaner, many more options and way less expensive.

Have also put ebay lights into the TREX post wraps, again soldering the connections.. very clean and don't think you could fit those bulky connectors between the 4x4 posts and the wrap. And for shower niches inside, again I use just strip lights off ebay... tucked into a grooved schluter edging profile at the back of the underside of each shelf... and run to a regular dimmer switch in the wall outside of the shower. Oh, the trick to using a regular 120v dimmer switch, is have the dimmer switch connected to a magnetic ballast style 12v transformer. Have to have a magnetic ballast one.
