Impressive, what do we know about the light show itself, software, hardware, sequencing etc?

In the comments you can get some info.
It is done in El Paso by one of the bigger insurance agents in Texas.
He had someone do the sequencing for him.
It gets set up in August.  300K lights.
He has 100 SanDevice controllers...  Jim (Mr. SanDevice) shared some of the info in the comments.

I like the effects used at the beginning of Sir Paul's Wonderful Christmas Time. The long fence light curtain is very cool.

He also is using two full licenses of Madrix. Since one is $20K, i assume he has some money invested in his display. He probably got the software at some discount.
Madrix is made to handle large pixel displays.

"Invested"? I didn't know the value of RGB pixels goes up over time! 

But as I commented about the same display from last year... so this is where our insurance money goes to?

Yeah, I'm not sure invested is the right term here. He pays a company to put the lights on his house and program them. Maybe the company invested in the products to be able to sell the use of it to customers like him. It's still a very impressive show none the less and I would love to do something a fraction of what it is. I just consider it a different league.

I would also consider it an investment, just not a return on the items themselves, but in the massive amount of free publicity and on-lookers the insurance group gets every year.

Thousands of people and the word of mouth, I'm sure they get a good return.  Now the question is, do they rent it all, and who's got all the cool stuff in their warehouse?

So, now it's a business expense and therefore a tax write-off? 

As you all can probably tell, I don't like insurance and how rates go up yearly well beyond the cost of inflation.

Forget I.T....I should have gone into insurance!
