Was looking forward to see what Ivan & Evan came up with this year for their Christmas light extraordinaire.
You fellas' do anything this year?

Re: Christmas Lights
Yes I have my show up and running-with a couple of new "things" and a new song.
I have not taken any videos yet as it has been raining or I haven't been around. It has been busy this year.
I will try to get some up soon.
No chance for snow this year on the lights
They look cool in the snow.

Working on getting some more videos of my show this week. Like Ivan, this month has simply disappeared!

Re: Christmas Lights
The fundamental question: When you flick the switch, do you watch your lights come on, or do you watch the rest of the neighborhood go dim?

Nice tree though, when the tree lights up the whole room you know you've almost got enough :thumbup:
I bought 5000 more lights for our x-mas concert this year, and was thinking about decorating the house and the tree, but sense prevailed

Re: Christmas Lights
Here is a link to a new song I added this year. It still needs some work.
I just need to get a real camera to capture the actual "live" look.

Re: Christmas Lights
I noticed that a lot of people have made Christmas light shows using this song - what's the significance of this song?
Re: Christmas Lights
Here is another one. An old ELP song and my most "rock" song. My wife had unplugged some lights in one of the windows and I didn't notice I did not get them plugged in correctly-so one window is "out of whack".

Tonight is the last night this year.

Re: Christmas Lights
By dimming the neighborhood, he gets more contrast for his lights! No light pollution from normal household porch lamps.
you ARE tied into the neighbors' meters, aren't you? Share the wealth (and the bill)

Re: Christmas Lights
Evan - great show (not quite sure how the music relates to the holiday...)
A suggestion -
When shooting the video, focus once and then turn autofocus OFF. There are spots where it gets dark, and the camera hunts for focus. Since the house isn't moving, and neither are you, autofocus works against you, not for you.

Re: Christmas Lights
I run the whole thing off of 2 20A circuits (and one of those is only powering about 200 watts of lights)
I use a lot of LEDs and most of the lights are off most of the time. I pay attention when programming the "bright" sections so the high current lights are mostly off.
I really don't notice any difference in the power bill.

Re: Christmas Lights
I guess I'm just too old to get the connection between that song and the song "Sleigh ride"... Or maybe it's because I couldn't listen to it all the way through that at some point the reference becomes clear?
