More lights

My sister and dad passed through on their way to Florida yesterday so after a great dinner at J Peters in down town Anderson, I had to set up the light display of what I had so far to find out what they think about it. The presentation still has only 5 channels showing. I found an old lit reindeer up in the attic so I plugged it in to number 7. It was not LED so the light lights looked a little yellow. I thought about putting new LED lights on it but it would cost me too much money so I decided to leave it alone. My sister ask me if she could video record it. I told her she could but it wasn't going to looks good as it will be in another couple of weeks. But she wanted to anyway. So from this point on there will be no other kind of Christmas lights. Unless I find a few more reindeer. next post I will try to add some pictures maybe a video.

It is getting to look a lot like Christmas

As some people have seen over the Internet and YouTube, more and more people are setting up syncrinized Chirstams light on their house. Well this year I have set out to do the same. Last month I bought from Light-O-Rama from my first 16 channel light box. It was easy to plug in and set up. The software was downloaded from their website.

I have set up to put just the LED mini lights. So far I have only used the ones that are being sold at Target stores. They are the Target brand lights. 60 strand lights for just under $8. So far I have 36 strands plus the 6 strands of white icicle lights. I have built wooden frames for the windows and doors to attach lights on. To date I only have 2,500 LED lights.

The music I have chosen is small at this time. I did not start on it soon enough and have not been able to put time in to getting more songs added. So as the time gets closer to Christmas I should add more songs to the play list. I'll post pictures and of course videos when closer to December.
