My New Hobby - Animated Christmas Lights

I moved on from arcade cabinet building to a new hobby - Animated Christmas Lights.

My first year display went on at our portrait studio Thanksgiving night.  I have 48,000 lights controlled by 144 separate computer channels.  The music for the songs is broadcast on a very low-power FM transmitter so you listen to the music in your car.

Take a look at the videos of the display and tell me what you think:





Hoopz:
Very impressive.   :cheers:  I hope you feel proud about what you accomplished as it looks amazing.

I have trouble keeping the strands of lights I hung on the house all lit for some reason.  Your work looks great.

FrizzleFried:
Awesome!   What did that cost to get up and going?

orion:
Looks good ! Sounds like your having loads of fun. Have you looked into investing in some Martin roboscans? Perhaps a few ellipsoidals with some cool gobo effects?

I tried very hard not to keep track.  ;D

Bess guesstimate is between $5k and $7.5k
