Frequently Asked Questions . . .

How much did all this cost?
        I haven't kept a running total and probably don't want to know how much I've spent on it,
        plus I would not want a hard figure to share with the wife, she's kick me for sure

How much is the electric bill?
        Last years show with 15000 lights only caused about a $50 difference in the bill

How many lights do you have up?
        This year we have hung about 20,650 mini-lights in the yard and on the house
        in all they draw about 68 amps worth of power

How long does this take to set up?
        Planning for the layout, getting all the lights together, and computer work have
        taken pretty much all year off and on,
        I have no idea how long the physical setup took - just a little each day for a couple of weeks

How does this work?
        Everything is controlled by a Light-o-Rama Controller, which has been programmed
        to make the lights turn on and off, twinkle and fade, and dance to the music.
        Then it is broadcast by a low powered fm transmitter to your car radio
