Medley of "Little Drummer Boy," Joy to the World," and "Do You Hear What I Hear?" This test video demonstrates the use of two newly-made groupings of LED artwork -- 5 five-foot tomato cage "macro trees" and a "banner" of 15 stars. The macro trees were made by combining 2 large, sturdy 54-inch tomato cages per tree for a conical framework and then spiraling each frame with 3 different circuits of more than 400 LEDs per circuit (channel.) Therefore, each "macro tree" contains at least 1200 LEDS! The colors chosen for the LED lights of each channel included the following: multi; red; blue; green; gold; amber; purple; warm white; and cool white. The bottom banner contains 15 simple, Bethlehem-type stars -- each made with a 60-count string of pure/cool white LEDs for a total of 900 lights. As you can imagine, both the cluster of "macro" trees and the star banner are each controlled by 15 circuits of two different Light-O-Rama Controllers. Thanks for observing our videos!

"Amazing Grace" by Yule This video is a close-up of our HP computer screen showing some of the lights-to-music synchronization that we are planning for a Christmas Musical Light Show that will begin on Thanksgiving (November 24, 2011.) This particular Light-O-Rama (LOR) animation-simulation screen virtually depicts the main LED décor and props that we have (mostly) designed and constructed for our Xmas Light Displays. The LED props that you see include the following: Eave/gutter icicle lights; 16-3 ft tomato cage "mini trees"; a LED Animotion Disk (LAD); a 15 ft mega tree; an 8-channel "leaping arch"; 2 aerial-star bursts; 8-2 channel stars in our garage window; a short fence attached to a 7-ft "leaping arbor"; 5- 3 channel 5-foot "macro trees"; a 16-snowflake cascade"; and a 27 channel "Bellagio Pole." Our Christmas Musical Light Show will be computer controlled by using Light-O-Rama software and hardware -- including 9 LOR controllers with their 144 channels or circuits. This computerized and animated light display will use about 62,000 red, amber, gold, green, blue, fuchsia, warm white, pure white and purple LEDs -- and over 4 miles of extension cords on our house, garage, and large corner lot. Because we use only 80% energy-efficient LED lights AND the "typical" LED is turned ON about one-third the total display time, our "electrical bill" for our five-week Christmas Musical Light Show will be less than 80 dollars!! If all our lights were incandescent "Edison" bulbs and were ON constantly (NO dimming, flashing, or "dancing"), the power cost to us would be over 800 dollars!
