Now back to the thread.....LOR history.I wasnt the first to mention the competition, but I think its worthy in any case to mention the influences that contributed to LOR's existence which like Pepsi, wouldnt be around if not for Coca Cola for example.Very fine worth mentions already made were the vital contribution made by Planet Christmas web page's own existence. Also worth of mention, Jeff Sands' Blitzen, although I never could understand why the man hated Dasher, nobody else has ever offered an 8 channel "brain" for around $40 like Drew did.I also think a very under recognized contribution was Dave Holmes' Dasher-S compatible serial controller. It not only showed a strong market potential for both Drew and Dan Baldwin for ready to go controllers that included brain and SSR replacement triacs, but were safer and easier to install and use. I also think Dave Holmes have a powerful influence by causing Christmas Cave to rethink its strategy because others were now coming in and eating Drew's lunch with his own invention and technology. We are kinda seeing D-Light doing a repeat Dave Holmes to Dan's LOR and now D-Light is helping eat Dan's lunch. I dont quite understand the passivity with Drew allowing people to copy the SCCB code in chips or Dan to allow people to violate his copyrights with clone boards but it looks like all the players in this business are just plain nice people.

jldavis1969 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I personally got interrested in animated lighting when I first saw a show to the north of where I live now in West Haven, Utah. It was called WestHavenlights. It is now gone but I also viewed Richard Holdman's show 2 years ago and It helped me to decide to to it even more. Now that I have done a show for 2010 with 6 controllers (96 Channels) I am ready for more. I do have to THANK Dan and the rest of the crew for such a fine product line.
