Bizywk Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Our first year, we decided to run a Halloween display ahead of our Christmas display as a dry run to see if our designs, programming and installation would even work right. Now days, we put out a Halloween display mostly so that we can get our controllers and cords out there in better weather which also makes it easier to get folks to help on a lighting crew. Since our two holiday displays are similarly designed because they're landscape centric, for the most part, all we need to do in order to convert between Halloween and Christmas is to change out the props at the ends of the existing cords.. RGB makes the conversion even easier. Happy Lighting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scodavis Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Plan your display very carefully. Determine what you need to buy and how much it will cost. Price things out and set a budget. Then triple the budget. -Scott 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh28 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 My only advice would be to learn as much as you can about the diy side of the hobby. The more you can do yourself, the more lights you can buy for the same amount of money. This is ESPECIALLY true with DMX/RGB pixel stuff... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
