I read a thread on Lemax items and decided to ask .
One poster advised to always use the on/off switch on the product, another stated his buildings were turned off via a 'power strip".
My knowledge of electricity is if you plug it in and it works, all is OK.
Looking for opinions, which method is better or does it make a difference?
ON/OFF switch or a power strip to turn all buildings at the same time.
Thanks

Brent, All of my buildings like that, centralized in one neighborhood of the layout (approx. 14' long), are illuminated by two strings of Christmas-lights (

I'm almost embarrassed to admit) that have one plug that plugs into an outlet. Here they are,
smiling back at us. I did not use their individual lights that came with each of them, in them, which I utilized for the other individual, crafted structures around the rest of the layout., some of which are seen here in the First Level valley....

Does that help?
Brent, your understanding of electricity is correct. It makes no difference whether you switch it on/off at the building or at a master switch.
Only caution is some accessories (like the Tilt O Whirl) may require you to stop it at its rest position before shutting off its power. Others may be "don't cares". As always read the accessory manual.
