Talk to me about your Holiday lighting displays , specifically LED
Matrix panel with programmable controller!

I have none of the above, however I am a big fan of the computerized, synchronized ligthting effects that I have seen online as well as in person.

Almost need to be a electronics engineer.

Money to boot !

What a deep dive. It will take a month to put it together and between $500 - $ 1000 roughly.
That's a lot of boxes of Nicaraguan cigars !

I ordered 100 ft. Of musical l.e.d. light stips from Amazon but they are not part of the ultimate goal. I have several rows of other lights from various big box sources.

This is a bit more advanced than what I plan and it will take a while to get all the stuff. The light programs are already there. It's the props and controller hardware that costs.

I bought a 3 channel lighting effect outlet thing with a remote. The strands plug into it and I just set whatever pattern I like.
Nothing too extreme.

Would be fun for band lighting tho.

Band lighting kind of started the move to the current led lighting automation. However it has evolved further.
Very tech forward.

I can't get around the cost.
I believe it can be done cheaper but the Controller and L.E.D. lighting prices are up.

Here is a home that we visit every year. They used to be the best house in Hastings Ranch, however this year there were two other homes with the high tech lighting.

This Pasadena family’s Star Wars holiday lights made it to ‘The Great Christmas Light Fight’

With holiday lights that include a 17-minute animated LED-light show set to music, the Harbecks caught the eye of ABC’s “The Great Christmas Light Fight.”
