Christian Miaskiewicz Hagondage Moselle Lorraine  France.  It's my 1st year of computerization and I've been working for 1 year to build a 3,60 meter high Singing Snowman on 10 channels (1 for the Snowman, 2 for the eyes, 4 for the mouths and 3 for the arms). I've also been sequencing songs since the end of January.  I think the result is not too bad.  I hope you will enjoy it.  Christian

Chad Rice Fernley, NV    United States. Located in Fernley Nevada, this show boasts 32 independent channels, 14 different songs, 45 minutes of music and about 15000 lights.  All the music is broadcast on 107.9 FM for the listeners in their cars.  This song (Nutrocker) is one of six Trans Siberian Orchestra songs used in the show.

Clint Burgess Mansfield, TX United States. 16 Channel Light-O-Rama controller  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPrrH_TMXSg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Jason Childs Chico, CA United States. I am a fan of older hip hop and thought this fit for me!  This was my first programmed song by myself.  I tried to keep the display simple but yet have a full feeling on my house.  This has been my first year doing light shows and I am already planning next years display.  My kids and I love these types of shows.  Thanks again!

David Conley Virginia Beach, VA United States. I try to group my lighting into musical instrument. (keyboard, guitar, procussion...)  My entry is Wish Liszt by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.  I love it because it's a very complicated piece, and it's the musical track to one of my favorite Bugs Bunny cartoons.  My wife says that it's not very Christmassy, but it's awesome to watch live.  I hope that this video does it justice.  Merry Christmas!  ww.holiday-duality.org  32 channels controlling 15,000 lights http://Hiliday-Duality.org

Michael Moss League City, TX United States. This display has about 20,000 lights and this is the first year that I have automated the display.  Next year I am considering changing over to LED lights.  The arches are 8 feet - 8 channels - totaling 4 arches. (The arches are new this year.)  I have been doing a static display for about 5 years and decided that it needed a little life.  It has taken me about 10 hours per song all from scratch.  I would like to add more controllers next year.

Tracy West Odessa, TX  United States.  he West's Rock'n Haunted Castle Halloween Light Show in Odessa Texas! "Diary of a Crazy Castle" which is the combination of Ozzy Osborne's Diary of a Madman and Crazy Train. Our Halloween light show was a Light-O-Rama 32 channels that included a hand made 12 foot Castle with Pumpkin Face, Lasers, Fog Machines, Giant Lighted Spiderweb, and a 15 foot air blown Godzilla. This is our 3rd year of doing Light-O-Rama Light Shows. We had over 2000 visitors this year to see our show and over 600 Trick or Treaters visit us again this year.  

Anthony LaCount Mesa, AZ  United States. over 12,000 Christmas lights and 20 hand painted cartoons characters.  The light show is customized using Light-O-Rama also being broadcasted to enable passersby to listen to the music as they view the dancing lights

John Storms Round Rock, TX United States.  ur Round Rock home is decked with 14,260 energy efficient LED lights. The lights are computerized using Light-O-Rama controllers so they flash and dance in sync to music from some of our family's favorite Christmas songs. The song sequences were programmed using Light-O-Rama software. The sign in the yard tells visitors to tune their car stereo to 106.9 FM powered by an ultra low-powered FM transmitter that is just powerful enough so people in front of the house can listen to the music while they watch the light show.  The light show uses less than 12 amps, and consume 1400 watts. About 25% of the electricity goes to just keeping the 3 blowups inflated. We have the lights on for 4 hours a night. Each night the show costs less 50 cents to run. The entire show can run on a single circuit. For the entire holiday season we estimate the show will cost less than $14.  Not only do they cost less to run, but we save money on the 1/3 mile of extension cords in the lawn too. There are 32 individually controlled channels used to turn the lights on and off and all require extension cords. Since we are operating at low power I can use the cheap extension cords.

Bryant Lentsch Coon Rapids, MN United States. This is my first year with the Light-O-Rama program, I bought a 16 channel starter package and then found one more Light-O-Rama 16 channel box that I added.  Out of my 32 channels, I ended up using 27 of them, I have just over 10,000 lights and about 25 different songs that run continuously every night from 5pm to 1130pm.  I'm looking to add more channels and of course more lights for next year.  My plans for next year is to add 2 more aches and a marty fan.  Thanks for all you do LOR.. its your programs that make this fun.  Happy Holidays from the Lentsch Family!  

Mark Williams Monroe, GA United States. This is our first year with Light-O-Rama. We bought 2 16 channel controllers early this year and spent the summer putting together 8 sequences. The 1 I am submitting is a sequence we did for fun to keep the kids and adults attention it is a mix of 60's thru present music sequenced with the Christmas lights. This is a sequence we are asked to do over time and again by neighborhood kids. It is 15 minutes long but keeps most peoples attention try to name song and artist. We are already planning some different for next year.  Thanks  Mark Williams

Anthony Sacco Newark, DE United States. first attempt at this house is small so i did my best

Keoni Hutton Seattle, WA United States. This is my design on my uncles house in Renton WA.  It utilizes 16 channels and is set to the tune of Christmas Eve (Sarajevo) by Tran Siberian Orchestra.  The music is broadcast over 102.1 MHz FM using a 200 mW transmitter.  The display utilizes a combination of LED and incandescent light bulbs and runs weekends 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm.

Robert Dietz Fayetteville, GA United States. Our Christmas light show for 2010 contained 14,000 lights divided into 24 separate channels, all synchronized to music by using 2 Light-O-Rama (LOR) light controllers and software. The lights, generating 60 amps, are connected to nearly half-mile of extension cords. The Polar Express song was new for 2010 at request of my kids.

Bill Miears Gorman, TX United States. This is a 32 channel Light-O-Rama setup. This is our first year to install the computer controllers. These are the original lights from last year, I just added the controllers. Next year I hope to add 1 more controller. We have 7 songs that play every half hour.

Michael Tedesco Holly Springs, NC United States. This is our 1st year doing a light show. We started with 1 Light-O-Rama controller (16 channels), Light-O-Rama Basic Plus software, and a 5 pack of your songs. I used 5900 lights, and over 5000 of them are LED. I added 3 songs and 2 movie clips. The show starts with It's a Wonderful Life movie clip, plays 4 songs (Linus and Lucy, Deck The Halls, Carol of the Bells, Boogie Woogie Santa Clause) and then shows another movie clip (National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation). It then plays 4 more songs (Christmas Eve in Sarajevo, O Holy Night, Jingle Bells, and Silent Night). The show then starts again. Our show runs for 24 minutes and can be heard on an FM station using the Whitehouse Transmitter your site recommended. I also run 2 projectors, one on the outside that shoots falling snowflakes onto the house and another from inside the house that shows a virtual santa walking in the windows. We were very happy with the result for a 16 channel show and look.

Jamie Taylor Warwick, Queensland    Australia .  2nd year of synchronized lighting. 120+ Light-O-Rama channels and over 30 000 lights. We enjoy bringing joy to the community at Christmas time and sharing the real meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus.  http://christmasonbisley.com

David Endicott Loma Linda, MO United States. I have 32 channels this year up from 16 last year.  The big addition for this year's display is the singing snowman.  We built him from scratch using rope lights for most of the face.  The snowman uses 9 channels and stands 12 feet tall from his chin to the top of his hat.

David Geall Milton, Ontario    Canada .  This is my first year doing Light-O-Rama and it was a HUGE success. We started off small ( but are already planning on doubling next year ) with 32 channels and over 3,000 LED lights. This song worked out our AMAZING with the layout of our home. I had a number of other Light-O-Rama users see this song and LOVED the way it worked out. We are SO proud of this song and will again be our show FINALE next year !!

Charlie Suhling Gurnee, IL United States. This is my first year using Light-O-Rama software to computerize my display. I am 14 years old and a freshman in high school. I made the front page of a popular Chicagoland newspaper, with the article entitled "Light-O-Rama". I also made my display known in two other local newspapers. I have 16 channels and would love to expand my display next year.

Dennis Scherer Pearl River, NY United States. I've been doing a light display for over 15 years.  This is first year using Light-O-Rama and it was a great success.  Thanks for a great product.

Michael Busher Mount Pleasant, SC United States. I am 15 years old and I designed and built this display myself.  This is my first year using Light-O-Rama, and I have 10,000 lights and 32 channels.  This is Deck the Halls by Mannheim Steamroller.

Robert Littlejohn Cal-Am Mesa, AZ United States. We have @ 10K Mini lights, @ 9 strobes.  a 20' Mega tree, and @ 1k LED's.  This was our seccond year with Light-O-Rama and WE ARE LOVIN IT!

Joshua Palochak Tucson, AZ United States. This is my first year with Light-O-Rama and I had a blast. I quickly learned that this is going to be a life long hobby that my family and I will enjoy. The best part about this year was my supporting the local Toys For Tots drive. If you can't already tell, I'm in the Air Force and I had to show a little love for my branch as well. The Air Force symbol on top of the tree is had made with 300 lights drilled through the back - light a light bright. There are 500 lights per arch and 3,000 lights on the ground with a total of 14,000 lights across the house. I have so many more ideas for next year, but i'm limited on controllers so a new one would go a LONG way. Also, even with the size of my first years display my toy drive was a resounding success and I've decided to dedicate every year to a local charity. Bottom line, I had so much fun doing this and I'm already looking forward to next year. I hope you enjoy this video. I apologize about the quality of the video, but I spent all my money on Light-O-Rama and lights!

Michael Pratte Bonne Terre, MO United States. This is my second year owning a home and decorating for Christmas.  Last year my display was static and I had never heard of or seen an animated display.  This year I wanted a Santa Claus that waved on top of my roof.  I had no idea how to do this and started searching the internet in October for an easy way to animate or control my lights.  I eventually found controllers, and saw videos on YouTube of houses with animated displays.  I couldn't find any other way to animate my Santa Claus other than using circuitry to build switches which seemed a little too complicated for my timeframe.  I ordered a single 16 channel controller, and programmed two songs to go along with my mostly static display and animated mega-tree.  Let It Snow was the second song which I synchronized my display to.  My display was up and running on the day after Thanksgiving.  It was a blast, and all I can think about is how many controllers can I convince my wife to let me buy next year as well as how I will layout my display in 2011, and I have even started planning some for 2012!

Marty Kurkul Independence, OH United States. This video was taken at our community Safety Town in beautiful Independence, Ohio.  There are 12 houses, and 9 street light poles. I have one 16 channel controller and used Light-O-Rama software. I also purchased some premade sequences, but could only use them to get a start because of the logistics of the site and layout for the channels I chose. The houses travel channel 1-6 on the left side, 7-12 on the right. The poles are set the first three are ch. 16, 2 at 13, 2 at 14, 2 at 15. In that order, 16 being the first one before house 1. No explanation for that. Visuals set up in my basement, and square blocks drawn for views in the software. All I can come up with. I tried Holiday Lights Designer, but that didn’t work to well with the pictures I took lat the end of last winter. Not the software’s fault. To get all the houses in the picture I took the shot from the end of the street. Too much depth and the houses overlapped.  I have 11 songs that sequences were made for. Some from scratch and some extremely modified pre-mades. I started late, 10/22/2010, as far as I can tell from saved /modified files. WOW, lot of long nights, and early mornings, I started running the sequences on 12/4/2010. I put all 11 into a show on a mini-director. I also had a 5 minute start animation sequence once at the start, and a 30 second show break after the 11th song. Both were basically just a static display. The show started at 4:30 pm and ran until 10:00 pm every day up through 1 /9/2011. Scheduling ran off a building automation system. I installed some contactors and turned on my amp and the controller. Even after I had started running the show, I made changes to add more action. The houses being spread out so far made it look dark at times.   I used 2-3 strings of minis (100 count) per house, and 1 per pole, for a total of 35 strings. I made 6 custom grapevine wreaths to use up some lights rather than cut or block them out. The poles are wrapped with printed ribbon, a bow with wreath at the top, and colored gel film rolled and set over the bulbs. The controller and amplifier are housed in a building 70 feet away. All the wiring comes to the edge of the Town under ground. From there it is overhead.  There are speakers in the trees, and I built a Ramsey FM25B for the audio. People could walk through safety Town and listen to the music interacting. Or they could watch from a parking lot. I preferred the interaction. The effect was much better. As I developed this, my perspective was from the Safety Town street. I believe in getting out and getting into it. I had the pleasure, a few times at least, to see a parent and their child rockin in the town. Made it worth it.  I guess I haven’t really talked about the video I submitted. At first I didn’t like this one, so I did it over. Then when my mom went to see Safety Town; she just had a knee replaced back in November and still walked thru, guess she taught me to be interactive, it was the only one that didn’t excite her. I did it over for the last time, and this is it. Hope you enjoy it. This is one song I saw a father and his daughter dancing to in the middle of the street, awesome. I’ll mention there is a bridge over a creek coming from the parking lot into Safety Town. I did decorate it with lights across the top, and some rope light in circles on the side. I  put the rope light on a chase controller, a stand alone from somewhere else I had before your equipment, for some movement and attraction.  With the exception of running some extension cords, this was put together by one person. A lot of work but the same amount of fun. I’m hoping for some positive feedback so I can do this again next season, only bigger and better.  Want to see more if you got time, search YouTube Independence Safety Town. Marty

Daniel Baughman Prosper, TX United States. We have over 55,000 lights in our display.  Including 74 Christmas trees.  We have a village with over 40 buildings.  We programmed 15 songs and the show lasts an hour.  Our theme, is "it's all about Jesus!".  This was our first year using Light-O-Rama.  We also collected charity for COPS, Concerns of police survivors, which support the families left behind from fallen officers killed in the line of duty.  

 Austen Goehring Bakersfield, CA United States. Winter Light! is my Christmas light show that premiers each year on Thanksgiving night, and runs until New Year's. This year, I have over 12,300 lights, and 32 channels. This is actually my first year in this house, but my 4th year doing these shows. Each year it grows larger, and I never repeat the same show; each year is completely different. My inspiration for my display is Disneyland, and I'm currently working my way towards the Disney company.  I found out about Light-O-Rama when I was 15, and I debuted my first show when I was 16. (It took me a year to save). I absolutely love doing this, and as I think everyone can agree, it is addicting. But the joy it brings to others makes all the hard-work worth it.  https://sites.google.com/site/christmaslightshowwinterlight/home

Roxanne Comardelle Des Allemands, LA United States. These are mostly LEDs with 30 channels being used. I was using 32 channels but due to technical difficulty 2 channels had to be disconnected. The alligators are programmed to sing and wag their tail. The gators are homemade and every LED is individually tie wrapped  to the wire. The tallest on is about 8ft tall. It took 4 months to make them but I had a lot of fun doing it. I live in between a major highway and a railroad track so please excuse the background noise. 

William Park Mesa, AZ United States. This is my first year and with limited space due to living in a townhouse condo association there were some interesting difficulties to overcome, but when we finished most of the people in the community seemed to be pleased to have the display.  Next year I plan on expanding the number of controllers and adding an FM radio  and some additional elements.  I would say that all in all I am pretty happy with my results.  Due to the constraints on youtube I broke the video into two parts both of which I will include below
