Any interesting statistics or trivia? |
- The entire display uses approximately 40,000 lights.
- Stretched end to end, I use over a mile of extension cords, and nearly 3 miles of lights!
- Many of the extension cords in use are actually custom wiring harnesses that I make myself.
- During the finale of the show, I have to dim the lights to 80% power, or I would blow the main circuit breaker for the house.
- The main tree on the right side is 12' tall, and uses 6400 lights and 15 strobes.
- The 4 trees on the left are between 6' and 8' tall and use between 500 and 900 lights each.
- Some of the decorations used in the display are 15 years old.
- The large wreath on the front of the house is 4' in diameter. It uses 140 globe style lights and 9 strobes.
- When fully lit, the wreath consumes 1,400 watts - as much electricity as 23 standard household lights. The large tree uses over 2,900 watts.
- Even at 80% power, turning on all the lights consumes 150 amps of power. Thats 2 times the amount your electric range uses if all the burners and the oven are on
