doug petschke Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Thanks Don,Unfortunely I had to cluster it closer to the house because last year snow was soo deep i had to have a person come in and plow and they plowed my lights and snow runined a few candy canes and several strings of lights i had on the border.

It is completely up to you though. But your display really does look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale J Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 good morning Doug, i know you said you only have one controller so my question is how many channels for the megatree it looks like there are no strings in the front perhaps double up the light strings on the tree with your extra lights and just use the same amount of channels. or a couple of big snow flakes or stars on the roof would also look good, just some suggestions since you ask. and yes i forgot you were out in the Malcolm area i live at about 20 and cornhusker so not to far apart,looks good hope to meet up with you againwho had the light keeper pro?

Kevin Holcomb Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Display looks great! I hope you'll post a video of it. I am starting with 16 channels this year. I have borrowed some sequences and altered them to fit mine, but I have done some of my own as well. I will put some videos out as soon as I get everything up and running.

John2571 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I'm only 12 and i try to bribe my partents into doing the things for my light display(almost never works!) I have been setting up for almost a week now and have bought over 2000$ in new LEDs(my parents say its my christmas gift) and now a new computer because my mom droped my laptop(no usb ports work and the display is cracked!) Also, my dad hates the display and my mom makes him help me. (the pic that is attached is last years display(mega tree is on the left side of yard and not visible in the pic(everything i build myself and put up myself!)
