Outdoor Result
Please note: The left white flood light is an old one. In theory it should still work and is directly connected to an own fuse.
Switches
Main distribution box
Please note: We added a RC-Glied to the power line of the outdoor lighting, because so many red light bulbs died. We assumed some peaks on the power line might destroy the circuits of the light bulbs. But it's not really clear, if it's the quality of the red light bulbs or the peak son the power line at the end.

Improvement Project 2025/2026
Nachbestellung der korrekten grünen LED sobald verfügbar + zusätzlicher Illu Verbinder für die finale Installation.
- Die aktuellen grünen LEDs sind schwächer und nicht dimmbar.
- Mit dem aktuellen Stecker geht die Außensteckdose nicht zu. Für den Sommer ok, aber für den Winter sollte es dann fertig gemacht werden.
Lieferbar wahrscheinlich erst im Oktober 2025
