Welcome to

Lights on Revere





We created this pixel light show in 2017 and have enjoyed bringing it to you each Christmas season since then. We started with a little over 2000 LED pixels and have slowly expanded a little each year and are now at almost 4900. We use a Falcon F16v3 Pixel Controller as our main controller plus a Raspberry Pi with an attached Falcon PiCap and a BeagleBone Green with an attached Kulp K8-B as secondary controllers, each running the open source Falcon Player (FPP). Each song takes many hours to sequence using the open source xLights software, but the end result is amazing!

In 2023 our setlist is 29 minutes long and contains 9 songs:

Come see us at:

45 Revere Drive, South Barrington, IL

Our hours are 5-10pm daily starting the Friday after Thanksgiving.  We offer extended hours during Christmas week and our last day will be December 29th, 2023. Our music plays on 92.1FM on your radio. You may have to tune it in manually, as our transmitter is low-power and (purposefully) the signal is only strong enough to receive in front of our house and up to less than a mile away.

We love putting on this show for you--but we don't want to inconvenience our neighbors! So please remember to be courteous by following a few simple guidelines:

- Please park only on the east (our) side of Revere so traffic may pass. It's easiest to approach from the south via Mundhank Rd. Revere is a 'through' street so you can proceed north to Penny Rd. when you leave our neighborhood, and you will be able to find your way in any direction from Penny & Bartlett Rd.

- Turn off headlights (leave parking lights on) and move forward to accommodate cars behind you.

- Keep your windows up and music at a reasonable level.

- Please avoid using our neighbor's driveways to turn around and do not block any driveways if you are waiting.

Thank you for your support & Merry Christmas to all!
