Light Show

Light Show

The ultimate goal of anyone who loves to decorate their yard for Christmas is to create a light show that includes full music.I These shows can be difficult to set up, but they are spectacular to see and worth the effort.

Here are some steps to get started on your create your own show:

Do your research.

Before going any further, know that creating a game Christmas lights under your Christmas decorations outside to take a lot of time and patience.  It can be a great pastime, but the ITA not as easy as plugging some lights in flipping a switch. So if you're ready, read on.

You will need a few items to make this work:

1. A computer for programming.

2. A light controller with multiple channels. This controls the lights.

3. Software to program the light controller. This will define when the lights and off over the music.

4. An FM transmitter to broadcast your music.I other option is a pair of speakers in your veranda, but it is unlikely that the neighbors appreciate the same song playing over and over again.

5. Lights! Â For full effect, this should include not only the bulbs, but icicle lights, net lights and yard displays.

Organize and plan.

Now you are Shared up the fun to work the show, you should sit down with pencil and paper and design your system.A Decide what music you want (play preferably something that has to do with Christmas), and where the decorations will be. Your plan should include a drawing of your front garden of sketches and notes on how the show will work.

Buy your equipment and decor

Now that you have your plan, you're ready to buy your decorations. This can be expensive fast, so do some research to ensure you arenÂ't overpaying. I suggest going online for the software and the control box for lights. a search in Google or Yahoo should produce more results and you to compare several options.

Test, test, and tests!

ITA important enough to repeat: Test, Test, Test!  The first thing to do is to configure your controller for a single set of lights and make sure you can get them to turn on and off. Then get it to turn on and off to music.I Then add a second set of lights and make sure you can get one for lighting and off. See why it takes so long?  It can be tedious, but the results are worth it.

Set It All Up

After, everything is programmed, ita's just a matter of putting up. Hang the lights, putting up displays, and plug in.

Now, all that you have to do is to drink hot chocolate and watch your neighbors are scrambling to get their decorations looking half as good as yours!

Good luck!
