Semper Fidelis (Always Faithful) -- The Official March & Motto of the Marines 6000+ Red, White, and Blue LEDS Gone Patriotic, Wild & Crazy!! The newly-added rooftop Aerial Burst (660 LEDs) is nothing but a more elaborate Light Storm Disc (LSD) with a propulsion trail/tail. This simulated pyrotechnic device is controlled by 16 Light-O-Rama channels/inputs and took more than a day to fabricate and about four hours to program its LEDs to the march's beat. On an average, this animated "artillery shell" only uses approximately 33 watts of power. All the LEDs (6,112) that you can see in this video are using no more than 314 watts! However, if all these lights were the "old-fashioned" mini incandescent bulbs AND were ON STEADY, the power usage would be 8 times more or about 2,500 watts!! Hence, the PRIMARY reason why we have switched over to using mostly (98%) energy-efficient, Energy-Star-rated LEDs! Go Green!! There are a few more videos to come, showing 3,430 ADDITIONAL patriotic LEDs! Thanks for watching our YouTube videos. Easily reach us again by Googling: kimball ne led art

The featured patriotic music in this video is American Patrol. The three set pieces are our faux aerial bursts: a Triple-Star Comet made from 598 LEDS; a Large Tri-Color Star (581 LEDs) and a more realistic "Weeping Willow" Burst (634 LEDs). Other LED display items include an eave's garland; a door garland; a door star wreath; a trellis pillar, and eight strobe lights. Two Light-O-Rama controllers with their 32 channels are used to make these simulated-"firework's" LEDs dance and march to the military band music. It took many hours of challenging fun to fabricate and program these "magical" artillery-shell bursts. At least these home-made "pyrotechnic" creations are legal, safe, "kaboom" free, and don't produce the burnt black-powder, sulfurous odor. You can reach this YouTube site again (most easily) by Googling: Kimball ne led art More videos to come! Notice the vocalization by the audience -- an American Robin.

Washington Post Military March -- This very "busy" July 4th video includes the LED set pieces: a Light Storm Disk (LSD) with 324 LEDs; the Patriotic Fan, the US Flag; a Mini-Flag; the 107.7 FM Sign; a Trellis Pillar; a Door Garland - and a few strobe incandescent lights. We use 98% energy-efficient LEDs in our animated musical light shows. The target-like LSD was also used in our 2009 X-mas Holiday Lights & Sounds Display. On this kimbnebritelites YouTube site, check out Video #3 where an LSD is synchronized to the "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy." The LSD is a simple, prototype precursor to our more complex Aerial Burst set pieces which will be featured in the next videos. You will be amazed by the faux, simulated "fireworks."

Stars and Stripes Forever -- Animated US Flag with 805 LED lights. This electronic set piece is controlled by 15 inputs/channels and uses only 58 watts of power when all the LEDs are ON. Like most of our LED-art displays only about one-half of the LEDS are on at any one typical moment during a musical light show. Therefore, the actual average power usage will be close to 30 watts. It required about 16 hours to construct the flag set piece and 5 hours to program the "dance" of its LEDs to the beat or rhythm of "Stars and Stripes Forever." Drive by the home of of Don and Carol Meyer after sunset, tune your radio to 107.7 FM and enjoy this patriotic musical light show. To learn how the Meyers fabricate their light display projects, consult the following three instructional websites: holdman.com/christmas; lauderdalechristmas.com; and belardolights.com These three outstanding websites have been role-model mentors for creating new techniques and projects.
