2017-11-26
Last weekend before the lightup is now done.
Everything is in position. I can now reveal
this years big news. I have built a copy of
the castle in Disneyland Paris (1/10th scale)
Its 5 meters tall and is built by two layers
to create some depth in it.
It is equipped with 3185 lights and most of them
is sitting with 5 centimeters spacing, creating
a huge RGB matrix. On this matrix we will be
able to create some amazing effects.
Now we look forward seeing how it will look
in the lightshow, in the darkness.
I can bring you some more detailed pictures
from the building process later.

During past weekend a whole bunch of lights
was installed. All icicles is in position.
A new shed was built this summer, to give more
storage for lights. The shed was of course
given its own light string. I am also planning
to put an star or candelabra in the window.
9894 lights is now in place on house and garage
and the work is now proceeding out into the garden.
In secret the work also continues with this
years big news.
