ebrown1972 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I am curious as to who does more than just a Christmas light show. Please, tell me what type of show(s) you do each year and if you have multiple shows what is your favorite besides Christmas. Thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebrown1972 Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 I guess I could have looked just a little further down the forum page and I would have seen what other displays some are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orville Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I've yet to do them, doubt I ever will actually, but I have considered Valentines and Easter at times, just finding songs for an Easter theme are very slim. Valentines, I just think about all the old or new love songs that are out there{and definitely some of Weird Al's versions LOL!}. But I find many other Holidays very slim in the music department. Used to do Halloween, but now I only do Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 In my area there just isn't enough interest to run anything but Halloween and Christmas. I have landscaping and house lights on 365 so I can change and flash those for specific Holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have considered doing some simple floods for landscape lighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Grunts Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Christmas, I go all out but do smaller shows for 4th of July and Halloween Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDucks Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I do a simple (By youse guys standards 😛 ) Halloween. This year I did an even simpler Red White and Blue (floods and a few LED strands on small trees) US Patriotic holidays. With RGB (mostly Dumb), it is a snap to set a simple color theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibblejr Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 The 4th normally somewhat starts my season. A smaller scaled down patriotic 2-3 songs. However this year Covid started my show March 16 and I was gonna roll it up after July 4. However July 2 the “peaceful protesters” said they was going to come up in our neighborhood so it was all taken down on July 2. setup for Halloween in late Sept and then Mother Nature kicked up the first ever hurricane to make it up in our part of AL and messed things up. Halloween has always been my test for Christmas. I run about 75% of my entire display at Halloween. Christmas and New Years rolls together but I gradually remove the more traditional Christmas songs before New Years. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 As far as a music synchronized show, only Christmas. However, I run landscape lighting (about 100 RGB channels) every night of the year. I do special colors for the following:. Valentine's day, St. Patrick's day, Light up for Autism night, Police memorial week, indepence week, Fire memorial week, and a week or so before Halloween. For Halloween night, I run the same pre-Halloween colors and a bunch of music - but it is not synchronized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfuller8400 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 On Dec 26 I change the music from holiday themed to more contemporary (60's through today) and will run until sometime in Jan. But I don't run anything else throughout the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Thanks for the reminder. Normally starting on the 26th, I add a "Happy New Year" announcement to the show rotation. I had not done so yet. Just added it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasslerk Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I run a synchronized singing pumpkin Halloween show with some of the usual songs (Monster Mash, Thriller, Ghost Busters, I Want Candy) plus some other songs (Hooked on a Feeling (the Oogachaka song) and Sounds of Silence). This is a fraction of what I put out for our holiday show, and basically kicks me to really get in gear to prepare for it. It also gets some of the initial infrastructure in place.

Dcroc Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) I only do Christmas because my wife would have a fit if I spent all this money on just Halloween. Christmas is big, but Halloween is the reason I started this. Better songs. Lots of metal, and rock. Edited December 28, 2020 by Dcroc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCRail Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Landscape lighting can be very therapeutic during those months of long days when it stays light way too late. Daylight savings time doesn't help. I use an LOR G3 Director to run RGB floods on my fence and pixel strips on my house every night. I change the sequence for minor holidays and special events, like all blue to honor health-care workers. I use the LOR wireless devices, Pixie 8 Smart Pixel controllers and LOR dumb RGB controllers. I use this system to light our garden railroad year-round. The railroad lighting project is my Never Ending Story. I'm thankful for that, especially as I crate up Christmas.

Little_b Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I do Landscape Lighting all year, but each month gets a color depending on the Holiday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6XOno7fUNo I've added Thanksgiving since filming this.
