Mr. P Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I live on a corner lot and my side yard has been pretty bare in the past so this year I am adding: - a Christmas tree farm on the side lot with about 25 trees ranging from 3-8 feet tall with a lighted archway entrance lit up. - four 5' candy cane poles with lighted tops and each pole will have a sign with a different holiday quote - four driveway arches with smart pixels - four yard arches with smart pixels - 300 feet of perimeter lighting with brilliant bulbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Y.R.G. Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Are you planning on selling the Christmas trees to help pay for your display? Definitely adding more to your display this year than me. I'm only adding a 12 strip pixel tree with a smart pixel(node) star this year. You must have a nice budget to work with adding all this at once.

Brucey Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I'm adding a 32x50 CCP tree for my front yard,8 dumb ribbons for the windows, a new computer instead of running the shows from the onboard SD because of the channel/network requirements, a bunch of more animations/decorations, a and a host of other miscellaneous lights/fixtures around the place. And still not done, thinking of adding some arches or candy canes around the yard. it's good/bad to live on a corner unit with lots of space to fill. Last year was V.1, this year is upgraded V2..

k6ccc Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Not much this year. Most of the planned stuff is being put off due to higher priority funding requirements. My sequences all have 6 added Coro Candy canes, but they won't happen until next year. I am adding some perimeter lights (GE Color Effects) that I bought from another forum member last year, and I will get three 10W RGB floods that were also bought last year installed before I go live for Christmas. The biggest expense was two new Gen3 controllers to replace two older ones so I could run everything as intensity files from SuperStar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpageler Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Getting into smart pixels in my 3rd year of LOR. Adding: 1) 125 light 4ft pixel wreath. Used the holidaycoro "C9 brillant" bulbs and really exicted how it turned out. 2) Dripping icicles using ws2811 rectangle modules. Folding translucent corrugated plastics into square tubes to insert the lights which are mounted on a think strip of corrugated plastics. . Found silicon caps for the ends of the bubes. Build 9 tubes, all 2ft in length to give me some sequencesing option over and above just using them as icicles. 3) 1 test 6ft twig tree with 160 pixels. Will add more trees for next season. Will be my first year in having display items on the 2nd story and out in the year. Getting closer to my "planned" display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebrown1972 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I am adding a 1200 pixel matrix, 8 boscoyo canes, 8 boscoyo glow trees (maybe more), 4 boscoyo snow flakes, 4 more leaping arches, and a mini matrix for my tune to sign. I am switching completely over to rgb. I also just moved into my new house so I have a ton of work to do. I hope I can get it all done!!!!!!!

Parkie Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Our display here in St. Louis we are adding 3 singing faces after seeing Marty Slacks tree faces on Christmas Utah, they looked awesome. Also adding a few reindeer, some playing Hockey to get in on the Blues 50th anniversary. Still want to add a new song but haven't even decided on a song. Set up starts in 33 days.

kdjz28 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I am working on adding some HolidayCoro DMX props (pixel and dumb RGB) to my show. Will include (assuming I get it figured out in time) 16 pixel ribbons for the house outline, 8 pixel Candy Canes and 8 dumb RGB Mini Christmas Trees. May add another 16 Tomato Cage Christmas Trees. I just came across the LOR Pixel Editor this week. Had forgot it was in my Pro license. Trying to figure out how to use it to get my show ready. Am pretty much lost so far going through the tutorials and PDFs I have looked at. Hoping it clicks soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
