Over 280,000 lights used! Every single light strand in the display is a size C6 LED. We painfully removed all three tags from each of the over 5,600 light strings used.

In total, there are over 18 miles of light strands in the display. The large mega trees use over 2 1/2 miles of lights all by themselves.

There are over 13 miles of extension cords.

Each of the large leaping arches are 20 feet long, with 16 channels. The small arches are 10 feet long, with 8 channels.

The large mega trees have 64 strands, each strands consists of a red/green/blue set (3 light strands). This totals 192 strands, (weighing about 850 pounds). The trees are 70 feet tall each.

The LED Matrix Display has 16 poles with 24 strands of lights on each pole. The top of the lights are 14 feet in the air, and the poles are spaced 2 1/2 feet apart.

All of the strands on the large mega trees combined weigh almost 850 pounds!

The 10 mini trees have 12 strands of lights on each one (four red, four green and four blue). They stand 8 feet tall.

Pre-staging, such as building the arches and preparing the mega tree strands begins in late September. Outdoor setup begins October 1st, and we work every day until we go live on Thanksgiving.

Everything is synchronized using Light-O-Rama software and hardware control boxes. There are over 80 control boxes spread all over the yard, controlling every light strand in the display.

The display is setup entirely by the Downs Family, with the help of a few great friends!
