Got my icicles up today.

(don't look at the bush, lights are out, haven't fixed em yet.

)
We have a guy nearby with the music, computer timed lights. Beautiful display he has...

Those computer lights are pretty cool. I thought about doing those this year but never ordered the controllers.

 

[tizzo]

Do they sell a "timer" that's compatible with the computer?? I wanna put my lights on a timer, but normal timers all go off at different times. Do they have one thats controlled by my computer?

tizzo,
do a search for x-10 control, that is the best way to go about it
gnorman,
it basically is a dance party at our house every night, we have thousands of people come to see our house nightly

actually, its not too bad, it will run us about $250.00 for the season, the trouble comes in when you add my 240 reef with the dual 400 watt halides, and everything else

That is awesome! How many channels are you running on that setup. I'm going to do that one year.

Wow! That's an expensive setup not including lights. It does look impressive though.

 

[turbo21]

thanks,
i don't even want to try to total up the cost of everything,
this year we have 150,000 lights and over 5 miles of extension cord
next year we hope to top 250,000 lights with 128 channels
