This is the same mechanism used on an air hose. Just pull the ring back, and it will disengage the ball bearings or rods that lock it in place. Don't use tools on it or you will break something.

It's not the original. It's a replica of the original that is in Japan.

It's still a cool place though, I've been there a few times. It's not far from the horticultural gardens, which is worth seeing as well, and the Pali lookout is on the way from Honolulu. Although, they now have a big gate so you can no longer walk down the old Pali highway. Probably for the best since there were holes in the road that you could fall down through to the highway below. But, no one is stopping you from climbing that gate... Just sayin'

It's probably covered in fentanyl.

If it's low voltage, find an alarm or home AV tech. Those guys are magicians at running wire through existing space and keeping it hidden,and they are probably cheaper than a licensed electrician.

Yeah, no shit. 5000K in a living space... Makes me want to leave immediately. It's fine in a garage, utility room, or workspace. I keep all of my living space lights between 3000-3200k.

My friend just put in a bunch of 5000k leds, and then took them out the next day because they made him feel sick.

Use termador or sumari. Both are super potent but slow acting. This will allow the queen to contaminated with it, thus killing the whole colony. This is the stuff pros use for termites and ants. I use them for wasps. They are amazing.

Glue? Caulk? Just go to home depot and get something kinda thick, squirt it around the rim, and stick the lid on. Pretty easy.
