Sorry to drag up the past but the video originally posted as a link in this thread has spurned a recent TV advert for the National Lottery, those that remember it will know what I mean, I still have the clip on the PC somewhere, its a real shame the link is dead though now, perhaps there is another way this original version can be resurrected as the current TV offering is pathetic in comparison - Mike

What did the video depict as it may be on you tube. If it is then I can find the original and sent it to you, but only if you don't ask how I got it. Rolling Eyes

These light's make the Griswolds Christmas lights (remember Christmas Vacation film) look quite plain.

The link on Oldboy referred to a display which was the work of
Quote:
Carson Williams, a Mason, Ohio, electrical engineer who spent about three hours sequencing the 88 Light-O-Rama channels that controlled the 16,000 Christmas lights in the 2004 version of his annual holiday lighting spectacular. His 2005 display included over 25,000 lights that he spent nearly two months and $10,000 to hook up. So that the Williams' neighbors wouldn't be disturbed by constant noise, viewers driving by the house were informed by signs to tune in to a signal broadcast over a low-power FM radio station to hear the musical accompaniment.

The rough quality of the video from Christmas 2004 led some viewers to believe it was put together in stop-action form using still photographs, but that appearance was an artifact of the high compression used in the clip circulated via e-mail.........

Carson's Christmas display proved so popular that it was featured in a Miller Lite beer commercial in December 2005. Unfortunately, it also proved so popular that after a 6 December 2005 traffic accident in his neighborhood, Carson Williams agreed to indefinitely discontinue his display because it was causing severe traffic congestion problems.

For 2006, Mr. Williams wanted to exhibit his show somewhere that would make it more accessible to the public, so he arranged a partnership with Festivals of Mason, Inc. to host his "Christmas in Lights" show at Heritage Oak Park on U.S. 42 from December 2 through December 31. This year's entry will present continuous shows using a number of decorated house facades that visitors can view from their cars drive-in-theater style, again using FM radios to listen to the musical accompaniment.
