Frequently Asked Question

- How long does it take to set up?

- We typically start planning for the next year before the
current show comes down. Set-up begins the first part of
November right after Halloween comes down.
This year it took just over 90 hours to assemble, setup
and plug in all the lights. An additional 10 hours was
spent modifying last years sequences to fit this years
display. The two new songs for this year take about
One Hour per minute of the song to sequence. so a 3 minute
song takes just over 3 hours to program.

- How Many extension cords does it take?

- We have 380 extension cords run through out the yard totalling
Just over 1.5 miles in length if pluged in end to end.

- How much does your electric bill go up?

- Typically about 20 dollars for the month of December.
Since we use about 90% LED bulbs and they are not on constantly
they only draw about 60 amps at full on and that only happens a
couple times during the show.

- How long does it take to watch all the songs?

- from start to finish the entire show, or song loop takes
just about 1 hour.

- Why Don't you put out a collection box for donations?

- We don't do the show to make money just to celebrate the Season of christmas. If you feel the need to donate on
our behalf we support the following organizations and we welcome you to make a donation in your name our in
the name of LACAWB to any of them.
