There’s no place like home for the holidays, particularly if your home has a quarter million LEDs on 648 animation channels synchronized to a locally broadcast soundtrack.
After Robert Schaider and Bob Bristow's homebrew holiday light show outgrew Bristol's home, they moved to a commercial space and upgraded their original 130,000-bulb incandescent show to 2011's 250,000-LED wonderland. Capable of 16 million colors and 48 frames/second each LED required manual programming; each of 2011’s three songs took between 40–80 hours to animate.
