Ah!
I have seen that house before, but he seems to have continued his developement. :)

It's not the bwired house, but an US guy. He has quite an elaborate setup with a redicolous number of lighting-channels and even a low-power FM-transmitter to transmit the music to cars on the street looking at the show! :D

Will have to see if the wife accepts a budget-increase on xmas decorations this year...

Btw, since xmas lighting is rather power-hungry with large installations, are there any developement on LED xmas lights?

Don't expect LED lights to light your whole house exterior like this.
It's fine for small bulbs but projections like this need power.
On the filmset we are using big LED lights but they cost between 5000 and 10.000 dolar to get a decent one. and the reach is only a few meters.

Ah, no. I mean a *regular* xmas lighting, nothing like in the movie... :)

Today we have a few "light nets" with a transformer and possibly 50-75 small 12v micro-bulbs and stuff like that. I would guess that our total xmas lighting isn't consuming more than 2-300W with regular incadesent lights.
