Christmas Lights Set To Music

We all love those spectacular Christmas Light Displays, don't we?

Houses festooned with sparkling, twinkling lights of all the colors of the rainbow.

The lights themselves can be either static and on all the time.

Or flashing fast or slow.

Or even changing color quickly.

Or perhaps gently fading from one color to the next.

All are wonderful to watch and quite beautiful and inspiring. Even more so as Christmas approaches! 

But with the addition of music they can be even move impressive and absorbing. Watching Christmas Lights Set To Music, twinkling, flashing and changing color in time to that music is really awesome.

How this is achieved is down to some pretty impressive electronics and some equally impressive skills on the part of the Christmas Display Lights installers.

These installations are often carried out by professional technicians - although not always. Some extremely amazing displays are set up and arranged by home owners who want to have the best Christmas Lights in the street and who, over the years, have honed their skills to perfection.

Using Christmas Lights easily obtained from various stores or on-line, these displays get better every year as the technology behind them improves.

Here are some of my favorite Sound Synchronized Christmas Light Displays...
