Home Light Show Setup

#pixels #xlights #animation #lightshow #setup
Have you ever wanted to set up your own home light show? Come follow me as we set up our home light show for the 2023 season. In this video we cover the materials, props and setup of our show. We highlight some mistakes we've made over the years as well as the successes. Hopefully you can get ideas for your show and not make some of the mistakes we made.

We start the setup on the first week of October so we can get a month of milage on our Halloween show songs. Once Trick Or Treat is done, we switch over to our Christmas show.

Have a good light show season!
