From 16 Channels to 80!
I’ve not been doing much for the Christmas lights lately. I’ve been working a great deal, getting ready for our vacation. But not actively working does not mean that I haven’t been thinking about things. Last week I had a terrible nightmare. I dreamt that I decorated the wrong house and when I had discovered my error I also realized that the date was Dec 6th and I needed to have everything up and running that night! Gahhhh!
I’ve come to some decisions about the Disney Character Topiaries. Everyone loves these additions to the yard but the mini lights are beginning to burnout or dim. So they need to be redone. I’d like to do them in LED but if I do the same thing I did with the incandescent bulbs, it will cost me a fortune. So here’s my new plans for the topiaries. I’ll strip the incandescents from them. Then I will light them all with one color LED (probably start with white) I’m also only going to light the fronts of the characters. That will make the more expensive LED’s go a long way. I’ll also use green zip ties so the topiaries will look better during the day. Next year I will probably add another color to them and make then white and blue. Then they will have two channels each and can add to the light show. In the third year I will add red and then be done with them.
Check out the website closely. You will see that I’ve added an new page! Yes, I LOR order came in yesterday and I have assembled two of the boxes. I have two more to go.
