Now my wife wants me to add that to our display. so this weekend I have to start all over, re resequencing and buy 3 controler to add to my display. Thanks for sharing.(great job)Brain Quick question, how much stock do you own in lightorama:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Mitchell Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Don't worry, you have 11 months to work on your display before lighting up again.I think many of us here would like to own LOR stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Awesome. I'm adding 32 more channels for 2008, (mega tree, some color changing angels, floods, and radio sign). I'll have to keep this in mind for 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSanta Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I remember seeing that in Marty's display and thought, "Wow that's cool" I really want to do that one year but, I think I would like to do the Leaping Arches first.I hadn't realized it was made from Iron? I thought it was PVC. I guess the PVC wouldn't have the strength that the Iron does.Thanks for the How To video..-Evan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Mitchell Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 I was worried that PVC would have too much flex to keep the tension on the lights and they would slip and sag. That's why I went with the aluminum electrical conduit. Almost as cheap as PVC but a lot more rigid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSanta Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Ahhhh. I thought that it was solid core pipe. Interesting that it's Electrical Conduit Pipe.... HmmmmStill on hold for now...but thanks-Evan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
