I wanna see your Christmas lights do THIS!

Lol...now that was cool! I don't know if faked or not, but there was a show on TV last year about the neat things they were doing with computer controlled Christmas lights, hour long show....lots of cool things on it. Mike G.

I'd settle for an old fashioned four color chase light. Back in the eighties they came out with four color chase lights with a sixteen pattern modulator. Remember those? About 150 lights long? In the last five years they cheapened them up to three colors and now you can hardly find them anymore. Guess I have to fix the few I've got. Cheers, The Keeper

Apparently not fake. I saw a comment entry somewhere, some guy live ten minutes from this. I think there was some editing to get it synced. Watch the flashing beacon to the left of the house, and enjoy the music.

Also watch the lights on the grass just in the foreground and you can see the shadows change, which obviously show a time "time lapse" or jumping. So it's kinda fake but accurate, in the parlance of our time.

I always wanted to know what people did when they retired from working on the Las Vegas strip!

Well some may say its a fake but in reality it is actually quite easy to do.

It works on the same system as disco lights that can change beat and color buy the beat of the music. its all just computer controlled. all the different light segments are hooked up to a computer controlled switching box. the beat of the music would dictate which segments to turn on and off. the hard part would be in telling the computer which lights to turn on or off depending on the part of the song that is playing. but it could all be done easily with computer synchronization. It would be a bear running each segment of lights to an individual box. That had to be a lot of work!

Sounds like Metallica meets Mannheim Steamroller.

Something tells me the neighbors might get a little wigged out when it goes off. The music sounds light something the Trans Siberian Orchestra might come up with. They'll be here 30 Dec so I'll let you know if that's one of theirs.
