Re: Who has released the Magic Smoke!!!
We had a little issue with last year's light just before the season started: We were transporting it on a rolling chair, and the way it was wired meant we had to pull a wire to turn it off. However, that pulled wire then had a free end to do anything it'd like to: Including touch the opposite wire's end. Burned a nice hole in the chair and battery. Not to mention the way-cool look of the wire after the event.
The wire literally melted itself into the battery and then re-sealed itself. I stopped it by kicking the chair over, because it'd be pretty stupid to touch anything at that point.
