Computerized Christmas Light Display

Step 10Run the show

Mount your lighting controller outside and hook up all the tights. Run your network and sound cables and hook them up to your computer.

To create a show, run the Light-O-Rama simple show builder. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your show. Add your musical sequences and set the display time. Remember to be courteous to your neighbors. Don't run the show all hours of the night.

Once you run the simple show builder, right click on the Light-O-Rame comtrol panel in the taskbar (little lightbulb icon), and click enable shows.


Please note: This is only a 16 channel display. The more elaborate displays have from 64 to 128+ channels. Next year I plan to get some of the DIY kits and expand drastically. Look forward to a more elaborate instructable next year.
