Lewis Hefner Hickory, NC United States. I live in a small community called Bethlehem in Hickory, NC. There are very few if any people in this area that program their Christmas lights to music. I used 61 channels on Light-O-Rama boxes with 18,000 LEDs. I've learned from hearing cars crank up, what songs people like and dislike. They don't even have to be Christmas songs. They just have to be fast and or have a good beat.

Wayne Ranchuk Burlington, Ontario    Canada .  this is my 2nd year using Light-O-Rama i have 48 channels. My display has 20,000 lights. I have been building my display for the past 10 years and really enjoy building it and talking to all the people who come by to see it.

Dennis Czeto Edison, NJ United States. Hi, I already submitted this but apparently facebook video links are private now so I had to re-upload the video to youtube.  64 channels, added 2 8-channel arches and a 16-channel mega tree this year

John Martin Roseville, CA United States. This is our first year using LOR, and the first year decorating the boat for the Sacramento Christmas Boat Parade. The boat was a big hit in the parade, and got alot of best boat cheers from the shore. The weather was bad, and the video from the river was pretty bad, so this video is of the boat at the dock. Next time we’ll try to capture it on the River. The display uses to LOR1602, and three CCR's (one on the antenna's, and one on the tree. 

Vic Fasolino Beaufort, NC  United States. I build wooden boats as a hobby and recently started decorating boats with Christmas lights. This year I decorated my 19' power boat and entered the Crystal Coast Christmas Flotilla Parade.  Having the advantage of Light-O-Rama controllers and music scooted us right to First Place!  The display was so popular that we anchored our boat in front of the Beaufort Town docks each Friday, Saturday and Sunday before Christmas and run the show again and again.   I have a copy of the video on my boat website but it is now up on Vimeo also. Thanks for the very useful new software changes   http://kingstonwoodenboats.com

Clark Montgomery Yucaipa, CA United States. This is my 3rd year using Light-O-Rama controllers. This year the display was dedicated to my mom  as she passed this past year from cancer. She always came to my house the day after thanksgiving to have me turn on the lights for her. Her most favorite song during the holidays is Amazing Grace so I did that song this year. The display is controlled with 48 channels and just over 14,000 lights.

Mark Temple Whitstable, Kent    United Kingdom .  What can I say, Light-O-Rama is not as common in the Uk as in the USin fact I think I am the only person in Kent to have it (let me know if I am wrong) ...that's a bit of a shame. Space is a bit of an issue - I have made it sectional so easy to put up and take down. I play the music till 8.30 at night and as yet I have had no complaints. Everybody is impressed with my show, in fact today taking it down - a little girl who was walking past told me how much she liked it and its sad that Christmas is over now .Every year I try and grow a bit bigger, buying my lights in the jan sales and another control card if I am lucky . 

Troy Berkholz Gonzales, LA United States. This entry is one of my favorite sequences.  "Little Drummer Boy" by Alabama.  I like that it starts off slow and then picks up in the middle.  I made my own little animation characters to sing the song, which include a tiger, an alligator with antlers tied on his head and a few choir singers.  I actually have two sets of choir singers but i only show one.  I only have 48 channels now but I am looking forward to expanding.  I do have a few more videos on YouTube under Old Dutchtown Christmas Lights or my name Troy Berkholz, so feel free to check those out.  Thank You.....Troy 

Lanny Evans Henrietta, TX United States. My first year with LOR. Using three 16-channel controllers I built from the do-it-yourself kits. There are about 15,000 bulbs. Only the lights around the roof, the rocking horse and the star on the tree are LED. All the rest are incan. I have a dedicated PC in the garage running the show and I use a PC in the house for development. All PC's are connected to the wireless network and an HP Home Server.

Ricky Niec Carolina Beach, NC United States. This my third year using Light-O-Rama controllers. This year I have 48 channels controlling about 12,000 lights. The sign you can see in the yard directs listeners to 105.9 FM where they can hear the songs that go with the display. I also have outdoor speakers for people walking, biking, etc. here at Carolina Beach, NC. The show runs from Thanksgiving weekend to New Years day.

Brandon Gill Antioch, TN United States. Every Year we like to come up a Brand New "Themed" Light-O-Rama Display. This year at Gill's Bright Lights we decided to do a 64 Channel, 60,000 Lights, "Christmas Tree Lot" Theme. Our Christmas Tree Lot Theme came complete with Handmade Tree Lot Workers, a Handmade Tree Lot Stand w/Worker, a Pathway thru the Trees, a Custom Created Fence, Overhead Traditional Lights, and Handmade Tree Lot Signs throughout the Display. To round out our Tree Lot we put over 15 Trees in lot, that are 4 different sizes and colors. All cutouts are hand drawn, hand cut, and hand painted by my wife. We personally string every tree and element in our display. Please see the picture attached for a much more detailed look at our Themed Out Light-O-Rama Display. Thank you for taking the time to check out our Display. - Brandon & Megan Gill http://www.gillsbrightlights.com

Chris Schneider Brooklyn, NY United States. Our 2010 Holiday Light Show is a tribute to a 1950's Rock 'N Roll Christmas. We used 48 channels to control the lights with Light-O-Rama ( Light-O-Rama ) hardware and software. Over 13,000 lights were used this year. In addition we added an animatronic narrator and video to the show this year. Everything is built in our backyard by four friends. The video on our "drive-in movie screen" was too hard to capture on film so we have super-imposed it onto the bottom of the video so you can see what is on the rear projection screen. We hope you enjoy the show. 

Blaine Fuller Clayton, NC United States. This year we have over 80000 lights with nearly 1/4th of these animated using 56 channels of Light-O-Rama controllers. Additionally, we have numerous handmade displays and hundreds of other decorations. We have challenged ourselves to create a display of lights that has a balance of synchronized lights and static lights. While the use of light controllers can create dramatic effects when the entire display is animated, our goal is to offer an experience that is not only dramatic, but peaceful, joyful, relaxing, and one that brings back memories for adults and creates memories for children. We have over a 1/4 acre of lights and displays. The display includes a Nativity Scene, Santa and Mrs. Claus, 3 Mega Christmas trees, 75 mini light trees, reindeer, snowmen, penguins, a lighted bridge, Toy Soldiers, the Dickens Family, Santa Train, Candy Canes and much more. We have been decorating our homes in NC for nearly 30 years. The light trees throughout the yard were invented by us when we first started decorating. The animated creeks that join and flow under the bridge was an idea we have thought about for a while and implemented this year. This is a unique feature that we have only seen done by us. The large 12 foot star behind the house is now about 30 years old. More information, pictures, and video can be found at www.valleycreeklights.com http://www.valleycreeklights.com

Craig Murray Sydney, NSW    Australia .  This is the second year we have put together a computerized Christmas display for my local community. There are no other computerized displays locally and we tend to draw quiet a crowd each night. The rewards of witnessing people’s joy and amazement are so humbling. Especially when little children explode with excitement and elation. The personal gratification gained makes the long hours attached to a ladder in the blistering Australian sun seem insignificant and a very distant memory. My 3 year old son asks to see the lights each night before bedtime which for me is the cherry on top. The display this year has more than 9000 LED’s (predominantly "My-T-Brite Lights") and uses 48 Light-O-Rama channels (3 x PCB16PC). The display’s soundtrack is broadcast in 93.4FM and can be heard up to 500 meters away.  This track is a mash up of ‘Carol of the Bell - Home Alone Soundtrack’ and ‘Mercy Me - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’. I initially wanted to sequence both of these songs in their own right in 2009. However, I realized that Mercy Me had used Carol of the Bell as a backing track in their version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen which becomes quiet prominent for the listener at the climax of the song and I felt the listener may not have picked up the melodies earlier on in the song. For the purpose of this year’s display, I thought my listeners should know there were 2 songs being blended sooner. Therefore, I added the Carol of the Bell verses before and after the song. I'm really happy with the outcome and think the mix does both songs justice. We wish everyone a very Joyous and Merry Christmas and look forward to Christmas 2011 when we do it all again bigger and better than ever! Enjoy!Craig - Christmas in the Shire
