Christmas Lights Roundup
December 25th, 2007
When Carson Williams hooked up Light-O-Rama lighting controllers to his house in 2005 and set them to music from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, he started a Christmas light craze that continues to this day. Miller even used his video for a beer commercial. This year, it seems like more and more people have followed Carson’s lead and have gone all out on synchronized lighting and holiday music. Below are some of my favorites. I wonder if next year we’ll start seeing more products that actually target this market since an increasing number of people seem to want to put on a show. In the meantime, Carson has turned his fame into a business where he helps others hook up their holiday lights.
- Lindsay Lights - This family has more than 70,000 LEDs hooked up and synchronized to two songs. He offers a live stream of the house with the music track and an FM signal for people driving by. If you’re reading this after he takes the lights down or you want to find out more about his setup, you can visit his site at lindsaylights.com.
- Funny-blog.com - Funny-blog.com has three videos from an unknown (at least to me) person’s house. These are probably the best sequences and music that I’ve seen this holiday season.
- RV Edition - This man decked up his RV this year.
If you don’t get your fix from those three samples, check out Light-O-Rama’s 2006 customer videos.
Happy Holidays!
