I love that video. The guy who did that is an electrical engineer, I think, and he had the light show play at set times so as not to disturb the neighbors too much. The music was broadcast over the radio during those times.
That was quite awesome (I don't want to see his electric bill either). And yes he was "shut down" in 2005 within a week after a his display caused a traffic accident.
Certainly not my (as a former European) idea of christmas.
But I sure give him credits for making the "Trans Siberian Orchestra" known to me
This display was the work of 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
HERE you can see his 2006 Display on YouTube
