FarrOut Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 Thanks for all the replies.I've sent out three PM's but received no answers.All I really want is to know where I can see some displays.Isn't there anywhere I can go to see a display in the Tampa area?Since today is Christmas, I presume they won't be up much longer.Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shfr26 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Go see ToddH's, Goofyguy, or mine. Probably more, just don't know where. P.M. if you want address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Mine turns on at 6pm. I wont be home but I can give you address and gate code, is on the way from Tampa up to see Shfr26's display. If anything Pete can show you the more controllers side of things. Im going to try and head up that way tonight myself! Mine 100% pixel based. Not the greatest but it has its wow moments as well. Or in this hobby is it WiW moments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BryanZ Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I live in the Trinity area and have a small 16 channels display.If you go to this website: https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B86vzf3chl0oTjdPRjRNa1oyVzA/edit?pli=1Merry New York Christmas (animation) is what I did this year and the wheels are starting to turn for next year.

FarrOut Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Well, it's been an interesting introduction to this 'hobby'.I received two actual addresses for displays and was able to visit one.It does seem odd to me that people are willing to put so much effort in their displays but then be reluctant to tell people where they are.I suppose it's a sign of society that we are untrusting by nature.Thanks to those that did respond.Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Again if you were wanting to see 2 displays come up to Springhill, shfr26 and myself have 2 displays that will help you with ideas for the coming year. Petes is traditional controllers and a very well layed out display, mine is 100% pixel based disco of lights. Pete has great programming and a great show, my show is short 10 minutes but there a lot going on in that 10 minutes. I reccomend you see them both as soon as you can as they will help you learn what can be done as well how you want to setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarrOut Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Thanks for the invite. I did drive up and visit Pete today. Very informative. I've got a good idea on how to start now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoek.fred Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I'm a newbie in Riverview/Tampa area.I've always wanted to do a light show but after while watching my kids watch the different houses and see their pretty faces light up with amazement; I've decided to stop procrastinating. I'm going to purchase a begginer 16ch set and start a stock pile lights, shows, etc. I visited a few places around in Tampa and by far the best I've seen for now has been the DeBroke light show in Riverview www.debrockelights.comI need to learn a thing or two and need to create some fun pieces for the lawn. Maybe we could help each other. I sell electrical cable to distributors around the state so I have access to good cable pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will get you on the right track. As for the rest, its why were here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
