Christmas Eve light show?

Was it running? I don't think it was but I'm not sure I got home late. The computer that controls the show was having technical difficulties..

So I'm very, very sorry if you came by Christmas Eve and there was no light show. I was out of the area and no one I know informed me of the issues with the lights. It is back on schedule.

First night done, sort of

Though it was the premier night… forgetfully I did not make a big deal about it and invite all my friends and family. Well that's good thing, it was full of small glitches that did not show themselves until I tried to schedule the shows to run on auto. I think.. “knock, knock knock” I’ve got them worked out. I’m also touching up some programming that after seeing it hundreds of times, I thought needed some tweaking. Overall, I am very please with this being my first year, and not realizing all the work involved.

Neighbors that have stopped by, have been giving me great praise and joy in what I have accomplished. Let’s see what they say next year…

Peace for now

Holiday Musical Light Show information

Information on my project for the 2007 Christmas Display.

Main purchase - 2 x 16 channel Light-o-rama programable light controllers.
Light-o-rama Software
WowLights - Home Alone Sequence package (modified for 32 channels)

Here are some pictures of the house before and after a needed clean-up.
Also, there are a few of the items that will be used for the light show.

Where Orange County comes to light.

Do you have or have you seen spectacular holiday lights or a display?
Do you drive around different neighborhoods with your family gazing for brilliant creations?

It can be just one specific item or thousands of lights, animation with music that catch your eyes and ears. This is not limited to the Christmas season, but any time a year that evokes a spark of imagination and the spirit of the season.

So I thought, why not share locations of various light displays with others from Orange County. Someone has gone to hard work to publicly display their house or home, maybe for their own family and friends, but my hope with common courtesy many can enjoy and appreciate their hard work as well.
