Default Hello all

Hey all. I have been working in lighting for over 20 years, but now just run a christmas lighting display at my home. Approximatly 100 dimmers, over 40,000 christmas lights and tons of wiring.

Are you one of those crazy people who does xmas displays to music? If you are, and you film them, I am sure that there are people here who would love to see! Other than that, welcome to CB!

Soup or art?

Not the same as you have seen. My display is more of a show. I have 15-18 airblown figures in the yard and at the start of the show, they are all on the ground. Then one at a time they blow up and stand up then I light them. Along with that I have 5 colors of lights on everything, House, Inside Tree, Large wreath, Garlands on garage. Plus 6 differnt kinds of Icicles and swag light on the eaves of the house.

This year I am trying to make my inside tree rotate, but is is very heavy with over 120 strands of lights on it. Tried a normal tree rotator last year and it stopped working when I had half of the tree built. This year trying a rotating stage design with a slip ring in the center for electrics.
