Now its finally the time of year when
christmas is closing in and its time to start
installing this years lightshow.
First lights are up, already 25% up.
This year might be a bit different.
We have an uncertain situation out in the world
which affects us with high electricity prices and
a threat of energy shortage.
But the news changes from day to day, so we
have to cross our fingers and hope for better
situation in December. The lights will be
installed at least and the electricty price
isn't affecting me so much thanks to a good
contract with fixed price.
I have also some plans on how I can still
have christmaslights and a lightshow, and be
able to save energy if it turns out to
be a crisis. For example an energy-save-mode
when there is no spectators watching.
I will get back with more details.

Soons its time again, in 47 days its again time to
light up the christmaslights! Upcoming weekend will be
the start of putting everything back up again.
News: The Light-o-Rama system will get another 16 channels
to play with and create new effects.
This years show will get a facelift when a whole bunch
of lights will be replaced with LED lights.
I will go from 36% LED to 75% LED which will cut the amps
and watts to half of what I had 2012.
It will make place for me to use even more lights,
This year aiming over 20000 lights.
I got 12000 lights today, directly from the factory.
Thumbs up for very nice quality.
A few more lights will show up within a week.
Check the archive for last years shows!
2013-01-13
This years lightshow has now ended, after 44 days running.
Now we have dealed with the darkest part of the year, more
sunhours and summer is to expect soon.
Now the disassembly will start and in 9 months its time putting
up a new lighsshow. I hope to be able to deliver an
even better one! I can assure you that I have got a lot of ideas.
The power consumtion was only 1,3kw per hour this year, so there is
place for bigger display. If all lights I have would be LED I could
expand to over 50000 lights before I reach same consumtion as today.
Hope to see you here also next year.
2013-01-02
The new year is here.
Will be running the lightshow a few days more, until sunday
