Let There Be Light!

After knowing how much power is available for use, then its time to pick what you want to light up. Choices include the house and its features such as rooflines, windows, doors, walkways and various other elements of the structure. Be aware that water is not friendly to lights so place them out of water runoff areas. Trees, bushes and other yard foliage is a good prop to light up as well. Some light elements you will have to create to achieve your idea of the perfect display. Light structures can be made in all sorts of shapes ranging from trees to trains and everything in between. You are only limited to the number of strings you can use! We started out by taking photos of our house and yard, then downloaded them into the computer. Using a drawing program, we sketched out where the light would be and after a number of times redrawing the plan, we came up with a good selection of locations to place the lights. Take time to consider all the possibilities and future expansion of your display. The sky is the limit (yes you might see it from space).
