Me and my aunt in NJ are having a "competition," who can put up the most lights... Ah, so you're the ones responsible for the latest power crisis in the States!
Is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

This is my snow flake light - I cut a piece if 24ga steel into a snow flake and mounted it it 3/4" Emt with few spot welds. The lighting effect is from two MR-16's (w/ a red and a green dicro filter for each) from two simular but slightly different angles through 2" EMT to give it a clean spot - The spot shows as yellow - but the shadows of each snow flake show as red and green.

There's this "series/parallel" flashing and variable brightness Xmas light scheme we've done for years: In the schematic diagram under the tree, the black bulbs indicate a string that had its flasher bulb go open circuit for the moment. You rig up a violation like this to make it work: http://pw2.netcom.com/~wa2ise/radios/xmassp.html for more details

Cool, e57! If you add a third light, with a blue filter, you can have a white background, and red, green, blue, cyan, yellow and purple pieces of snowflake. Arrange the lights in a triangle pattern.
