How we did it:

The light display  is built using special computer controllers that allow each individual string of lights to be turned on or off via a computer running special software.  The controllers and  software we use to control the lights come from a company called Light-o-Rama.

We use the software to program each song.  We tell the computer when to turn on, off, fade, twinkle and shimmer each light down to a 10th of a second.  This process usually takes about four to eight hours per song.

We use a small radio transmitter to broadcast the music over the FM radio waves (107.3 FM).  The transmitter is from Ramsey and has a range of about 300-500 yards.

Add this with the lights and some long weekends setting things up and you have Plano Christmas.  Enjoy!
