"Music Box Dancer," by DJ Schwede This third video of our 2011 Christmas Musical Light Show reveals the performance of the newest and best addition to the Meyer Xmas light display -- an eleven foot, multi-colored Spiral (Weber) Tree. This slim Spiral Tree (ST) required three days to construct and about 4 hours to animate or sync its dynamic "movement" to the rhythm of "Music Box Dancer." Our multi-coiled ST consists of 16 helices, with each helix being a 23-foot long, twisted, double strand of 70-count, multi-colored LED lights that makes two complete turns/wraps around the central ten-foot high axis or pole. Since each coiled run of lights contains (2 x 70) 140 LEDs, the tree, itself, has (16 x 140) 2,240 lights -- plus a topper star of 50 blue LEDs! This ST is sturdily mounted on a 4-foot diameter circle of ¾" BC plywood and the ST has a total weight of only 50 pounds. This portable ST is easily carried and will fit nicely (with its star detached) into our large storage unit. The vertical support or "trunk" of the ST is a 10' length of 1" diameter EMT (electrical metallic tubing) which has a 1 inch floor flange connected at each end. The bottom flange is screwed to the center of the circular plywood base, and the upper flange has a 6" diameter circle of ¾ inch plywood mounted on its top surface. Each circle of plywood has 16 heavy-duty screw eyes along their outer edges or circumferences. 18-gauge galvanized wire was used to connect each lower screw eye with its corresponding upper screw eye. These 16 wires serve not only as guy wires to stabilize the central pole, but they also form a conical framework on which to attach (by using 400+ cable ties) and support the 16 spiral "runs" of LEDs. One Light-O-Rama controller with its 16 channels regulates the "flashing" and "dancing" of the 16 LED spirals. On each side of the ST are two 4-to-6 foot commercial LED twinkle/gum-drop trees.
