ListenToOurLights
Come hang out with me as I live stream working on my light display to see how we do sequencing, hardware, planning, power injection, and how we sometimes make mistakes and recover from them. Goal here is to get some human interaction, do something different and have some FREE FUN. Join me Thursday evenings at 7 PM and Sunday afternoons at 1:30 PM (Central Time)

The house has about 25,000 pixel lights that can be set to any color and any brightness. This year we are running the lights at about 30% brightness, which saves on power and seizure medication.
We synchronize the lights to music. The show is loosely themed on National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, but we throw in alot of other songs we like too Christmas and non-Christmas alike.
What's New? New this year are MORE snowflakes. We have 100 snowflakes in the display that are 12 inches or wider. We also added 3600 pixels to the big trees out front. The look of the big trees is a little rough since we had trouble (meaning a trip to the ER) getting the mounting hoop on top of the tree. Everyone's okay, and the trees look 'good' enough. Last year we added pixel icicles and liked them so much that we added more.
Did a COVID show around Easter as a neighborhood pick-me-up using just the deer.
We are the Storms family and we love Christmas lights and Christmas decorations. We load up on Christmas lights inside and out and have been synchronizing lights to music since 2010.
