Thread: IT'S CHRISTMAS

Haven't put our home ones up yet, I generally do it some cool morning - which will probably be in a few days time (climbing around on the roof and all that).

But I have helped set the lights up at a place around the corner from me - they're not on yet either - switch on is Saturday.

So all I can show is part of last year's work:

YouTube - NRCC - Overture to Miracle on 34th Street

That's what you get when you use a few blokes and a cherrypicker to put lights up; and electronics whiz to build some kit; and a computer programmer to control it (I was the interpreter!).
18 dimmable channels (variable output), plus the star, which has 136 individually controllable lights in 35 groups. Plus a small FM radio transmitter so you can hear the music too.

What happened to the 12 days of Christmas?

Oh yes - Kmart legislated & its been doubled

Is it really Christmas now ???

BTW I like the Landie lights

top work guys, I ended up putting ours up late afternoon, it was about 8pm when i finished. Much nicer to work at this time of day up here in QLD.

I think that we are going to ditch most of ours next year for flash LED ones, I'm sick of replacing bulbs...

Still havent done the tree yet, that means i will have to clean the lounge room - not looking forward to that haha
