Since moving into our home in 2019, my wife and I have embraced the holiday spirit. What began with purchasing regular Christmas lights each year evolved into a more cohesive and stunning display. Here’s our journey:
We initially bought regular Christmas lights from various vendors each year, but this led to an increasingly disjointed display. We realized we needed a more unified approach.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
You can generally use any LED that is "individually addressable" – which allows each RGB diode to have a fixed position in space that can be called individually. I personally use WS2811 LEDs which come in many form factors depending on your needs.
All of the lights are controlled by a controller. I use a K32A-B, but when I run out of slots I'll have to add another one. I configure the controller using FPP – a free software that uses a local web interface. I program the light show using another free program called xLights.
A long time. I get faster each time, but it can easily take me 10–15 hours to create a show for a 2-minute song. It adds up to over a hundred hours to program a full 20+ minute show.
If you're somewhat technical, you can probably do it. It can be cost prohibitive to quickly get to the point of doing a full show, but if you're patient you can acquire a little bit each year.
