Every one of us has thought about animating our christmas lights.

Many might have done it to a degree, but I bet no one has done it like this fella.

Turn your sound on and enjoy

Coming from the amusement industry I did things like this long before I knew what a PLC was. I would expect it to use a light controller maybe similar to one of these, notice that they can also be interfaced to a PC. http://www.lentine.com/onlinecatalog/behringerstore/behringerlightingcontroller.htm

BTW the song is Wizards in Winter

Awesome.

Is there any more information on it? It tried to see if I could pull up a home page with some information on it. No luck.

I wonder if a short range FM signal is broadcast for people driving by to hear the music.

Ok so I'm somewhat facinated by this display, and watched it about a dozen times. Each viewing revealed something that I didnt notice before.

So I did some looking around and found that he used a controller by Light O-Rama. 88 chanels (outputs) and 16000 lights.

That is cool. I expect maybe it's the house of the guy who owns this website...lol. http://www.midilite.com I have built custom microprocessor controllers before to do these "living christmas trees" for christmas shows.
