Dr_Aplet Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Looks great. You are ahead of me this year. I still have much to do to get ready. What are the squares/ frames that you are using behind your tree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgander Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 Each one is a "present". The ribbon and bows don't light up, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Aplet Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I like those where did you get them or did you make them? I like that they will have appeal in the day time and they frame is your tree nicely. I am still setting up this year but i will be done in the next few days. Great job!

dgander Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 I made them, PVC and led rope light. I have 48" rebar holding them up. Last year the bows flopped all over the place so this year I got 12" heart shaped wreath rings and tied the bows to them for structure. I can send you a pic if you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgander Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 Thanks, the planning of what does what is the harder part, thankful for Excel spreadsheets 😁. Having a corner lot makes it a challenge too so that it's entertaining wherever you stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EARLE W. TALLEY Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Great job David ,also good camera work. I like it !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgander Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 Thanks Earle, your massive spiral tree takes the cake. How many colors do you have strung? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EARLE W. TALLEY Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 All 3 trees have 16 strings of blue,red ,green and white. The large tree has 70 count strings with 3 - 50 count for the star, all tree lights are m5/m6 and the large tree pulls 2.63 amps, each small tree (50 count strings) pulls 2.16 amps as per my KILL-A-WATT. My total display is 100% LED. I did the test without the mini strobes on the trees, big tree has 1,050 white mini strobes, left tree 450 red mini strobes, right tree 450 blue mini strobes. How did your mini strobes work out ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgander Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 I have them on the ground and low bushes making a borderline sort of around the corner. They go in front of the nativity, around the palm, in front of the presents and under each arch tree. I used red going through the red bushes between each arch tree. I think it looks fine that way.
