Seymour Lights was featured in an article in the local newspaper, The Tribune, recently. You can read the article on our media page.

2009 Show is up and running

Well, the 2009 version of Seymour Lights is up and running. The crowds have been great and we are so happy to be spreading Christmas cheer again. Stop by and check out the show. Merry Christmas.

Waterproofing is a chore!

I spent the evening in the garage getting the LED par cans going around the video wreath into the 2.5 quart paint pails for waterproofing. Should get the wreath up and start mounting them on tomorrow afternoon.

2009 Setup is underway

I have gotten started setting up for this year's show. The big tree is on site and assembled. We used a man lift this season, which made the job soooo much easier.
The truss is also installed above the garage doors. So, just have to get the video wreath mounted and it will be on to wiring... shooting for Thanksgiving night lights on as usual.

New addition this year

There they are. 16 LED Par Cans all set with the correct dmx addresses and ready to mount around the perimeter of the video wreath. The paint pails will be used to weatherproof them. Should make for some really neat effects.

Striking the Show

Tearing down seymour lights isn't quite as much work as setting up, but it's still a chore.

This mess has all been sorted out, wound up and packed away now. It was not a lot of fun, however.


Yech...

It's also a bit of a challenge to tear down the big tree. We have a simple crane type apparatus that goes into the hitch receiver on a truck. We used it to take down the star and top two sections of the tree.

Thanks for a fantastic season!!

Teardown begins today. Thanks so very much to all those who came by to see the 2008 display. We have big plans for 2009 and we will be back with some major changes to the display.

I have posted some videos from this season's show on the video page and will post a couple more in the next week or so.

Thanks again for making 2008 a great year for Seymour Lights. Happy New Year!
