This is the first year that I have done animated lights and it has been a huge labor of love! I have over 24,000 lights and 128 channels so it has been a long road to get everything up and running. While I was setting up my display, everyone would stop by and ask the usual questions - how much did all that cost, how long have you been working on it, and most importantly - Why are you going through all of that trouble?
Well last night the last question got answered - a car load of kids with their parents stopped in front of my house, rolled down the windows, and the kids were singing along with Rudolph at the top of their lungs - they stayed through two rotations! I told my wife, that is why I dit this, it made it all worth it.
So long story, but Thanks RJ, I never could have gotten to this point without your equipment or this site. I think it is great that so many people are devoted to spending this much time and money just to make other people happy.
