Very Nice work Ron,

One question: What is the blue light on the left side by the mini-trees?

Cheers

I think that's the light from my neighbors garage light.

Oh (Nice effect  ;D )

I see you also have bright street lights. But it does not seem to effect your show. My street light is white but it doesn't show up in the video.

Cheers

Yep, it's annoyingly right next to my driveway.  Gives everything a lovely orange tint.

These are just some of the things I'll look for when buying my next house.  Bought this one before the addiction, I mean this hobby, kicked in.

Great!  The arch work was very tight!

    4000 lights and 16 channels

    8 Songs sequenced

Thanks RJ.

Yes, 8 channels on the arches.  I recreated them this year with 70ct LEDs and used the irrigation pipe over a piece of electrical PVC.  This means I can break them down into a small storage container as they just slide on and off.

Great show Ron. I use the breakdown segment method for my arches too. Thank God, because an article in Planet Christmas magazine just declared lighted arches "so yesterday" and announced the startling revelation that our segments can also be stacked vertically to make totem poles of light for a more modern look next year...well, duh!  ;D

Very nice Ron!
You are lucky to have power to your parking strip between the sidewalk and the street.
I wish I did.

John, I just ran a long extension cord and covered it with duct tape on the sidewalk.  Course my yard is not that big.
