Sure thing.  Mine are on now, but I'll have to wait for a rainy/humid
day to see if they work.  It's always been an intermittent problem, but
the last time it was happening really consistently was last weekend when
it was pouring out.  Now that I know it's a static discharge thing, that
sorta makes sense.

Good luck,
