I'd hate to see the traffic in that nieghborhood.


Dnk....

I’ll have to get pictures of my cousins Christmas display. It’s completely computer controlled with a system from www.animatedlighting.com Totally sync to music via speakers in the yard and low power FM transmitter. Was pulling almost 300 amps when I put a meter on it last year. I’ll get full details.

I'm sure a computer is involved, but I have a hunch it was video editing. My wife's mac G5 could quite easily piece that together with the music. Still very creative though.

If you blow up the video at the very begining, it looks like shadows are jumping around with the different freeze frames.

Nah, no way is that edited, that is real, would love to find more info about the creater, anyone have a site for it yet?

300Amps, surely not? If its computer controled like that hardly anything is on at the same time so it should use less power.

In Reno there is a neighborhood that is known for its' holiday displays.

For several of these homes, it is necessary for the power company to bring in additional temporary service drops. 200 and 400 amp drops are not unusual.

As you might guess, traffic is a mess.

I hope this year to go there during the day, and get some pics of these monster displays.

Reno: I'd be interested in seeing what some of the temp services look like, too.

This young guy learned some safety tips from ECN members a few years back.
A great display, and a very nice website.

BTW, Also, check out his links to other websites and displays.
