bhunt240 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I finally finished up the pvc window frames and wrapped them in red green and blue c6 leds. Also finished up the 9' tall pvc spiral trees they are 16ch with each ch having 1 50ct red c6 led, the trees utilize the same channels but the are wrapped in reverse and on each side of the display to save channels. Next year i plan on adding green and blue leds to the trees as well as 2 more controllers for the added colorsNext on the list to do is the roof gutter and ridge outlines with 1/2" metal conduit pipe and attach the 1000 C9 retro fit leds, finishing our leaping arches building a few more mini trees and adding all the strobe lights!all of our displays lights came from Holiday Light Express Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyD Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Thanks for the pictures. I like how you were able to get a pretty good purple color on the last shot of the PVC frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zing Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 how do you attached the pvc frames to the windows? Is your house stucco? Been trying to figure out a nicer more consistent way of getting lights around my home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhunt240 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 These are the clips i am using but for extra precautions im going to add a ziptie to 2 of the 4 that hold the windows and doors ill just run the tie through the open looped ends that go around the pvc to ensure it stays clamped tight and cant come off although they do feel firmly snapped in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
