Bought some waterproof decking lights which are colour changing and Alexa controlled. Seemed fine then I read “walkover pressure 100kg” .

Cue me spending the last hour (can’t sleep) looking up minimum walkover pressure to try to understand if I’d bought a dud and if they could actually be walked over or if I needed to hide them at the sides. Got nowhere.

Eventually thought “how heavy is a normal person in kg”? Turns out 100kg is about 16 stones, so I think me and the kids and their mates are going to be fine. Can’t believe it took me so long to look at the problem from that angle. I’ve been pouring over lighting data sheets for ages...muppet.

Better make sure your kids don't run over them then, think running exerts roughly around 3 times your body weight on impact
