Christmas Light Show 2011 in Fountain Valley, CA by Devers Dream Weavers 56,100 LEDs No.5

I installed this light show at a friends home in Fountain Valley, CA. It's dedicated to the memory of Larry Stewart who passed away on May 15th, 2011. Larry and his wife always wanted to do something big for Christmas, this is their dream come to fruition, I was glad to assist in making this happen.


This setup consists of 56,100 LEDs (220 StellaGreen strings controlled by 15 StellaScapes E16-II controllers), programmed to dance to the music via MADRIX Ultimate running on a custom built Core i5-760 @ 2.8GHz w/ 8GB of RAM. The snowflakes, arches, mini trees, mega tree, & star topper were all made by me. Several custom effects were programmed in MADRIX. All networking, installation, research, programming, & all nighters performed by me (Damion)


I'd like to thank Jan for giving me the opportunity & trust to tackle this project. John Chapman of Engineering Solutions Inc. for his guidance & help as well as Andrew Frazer. Last but certainly not least,my wife for sticking by my side throughout this journey in "lightland"!

Since people keep asking, or assuming this setup draws a lot power; The whole system draws a maximum of 24 Amps, it runs on 120v AC. So that equals 2880 watts. Basically if you run a hair dryer and a vacuum cleaner, it's nearly equivalent.

Credit for the song in this video goes to its respective copyright holder & Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Toccata - Carpimus Noctem

The play of light is super successful, but ... The music does not make me think of Christmas, but rather to Halloween ... It's a shame.
