godman Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Though it would be fun to hear the questions everyone get asked about their display... The top 2 questions I get are: #1 Where do you store all this stuff? #2 When do you start setting up your display? What questions do you get asked?

Orville Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Most common ones I get asked are: "How do you get the lights to animate like that to music?", "How are they controlled?" And my favorite one is this one: "Where or what store do you buy your lights that do all those {cool./neat/awesome} effects at?, I'd like to go buy some for my house!"

EmmienLightFan Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Today a boy asked me if I sit in the garage all say turning the switches off and on. Would be possible, in theory, for a ordinary light strang display, but I have a pixel display, so a lot of switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stil Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 One of my favorite questions is "How do you get the radio station to play your music?". +1 on the other questions mentioned. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric walls Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 What we think are silly questions are genuine questions to other people who are curious about the hobby. I am always happy to answer what I can being this is only my second year. I figure it's a way to get people interested but yes I do get a lot of those questions that are sort of funny. I used to think about those questions until I started doing this myself. My other hobby is beekeeping. Do you know how many people ask me if I ever get stung?

ItsMeBobO Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Three times a I got a question that I don't recall from other years. Do the lights bother you inside the house? We answer that we have blinds and curtains and don't even notice anything. I also get a lot of what do your neighbors say and how much is your electric bill. How long to put up is common which they like when I answer a week not knowing that putting up is a small fraction of total hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric walls Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hey LORisAwesome! Only when I do something stupid which for me is quite frequent. My bees are calm until I smash one on accident. They don't take too kindly to that. And as far as the radio station playing my music I just tell people I have a lot of pull around town and they gladly give up their regular programming for 3 weeks in order to play my music. That really impresses my neighbors and I always get extra cookies during our cookie exchange!Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iflights Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I received a question I've never been asked. They asked, who I hired to do the display. I'll take that as a compliment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
