Situated in the middle of Cypress, CA, we now run three shows each year.

We just added a 4th of July show. The 4th of July show runs from the Friday that is one week before the 4th of July day thru the night of July 4th.

Starting in September, we start setting up for our Halloween show. The Halloween show runs from the Friday that is one week before Halloween day thru Halloween night.

The weekend after Halloween, we take most everything down and start setting up for Christmas. Because of the annual City Of Cypress Holiday Lighting Contest, we have to have most of the Christmas show up and running by the first week of December. The Christmas show displays run every night through Christmas.

A little history about us. We have always decorated for the holidays, but when the infamous email of the Crazy Christmas Light House started circling, we were definately more interested in animating our lights. Some investigating had led us to the PlanetChristmas chat forums. In chatting with many of the members, we found that the lighting controllers and program were actually very affordable and easy to use. You just need a little cash (of course) for the controllers, lots of extension cords and a the Light-O-Rama software program. The software looked easy to use. It had a grid layout where timing line moves from left to right as a song plays. Whenever the line is on a set of rows, whichever row has a mark in it...the light controller makes the light do. Box filled in, a channel (or string of lights) goes on. Box not filled in, the channel goes off. There are fades, shimmers, twinkles, and so on. I thought to myself, "Hmmm...we can do this!" So we embarked on our ever-growing journey into the world of music sequenced lights.

So there you have it. Our story in a nutshell. We love lights and are among the growing number of sequencing enthusiasts! We hope you'll bring the family by for a visit! And if you've already visited, we hope you enjoyed yourself. Tell a friend (or two, or three...) See 'ya next time!
