Lights Out

"Cops asked a Deerfield Township, Ohio, man who covered his house with 25,000 Christmas lights rigged to dance when holiday music plays to pull the plug on the display after a car wreck"

I was suprised to see this story after having discussed the lights display here before.

It was exciting to see it was not a fake video, but the work of an EE. He programmed 25,000 lights to perform the 12 minute show for drivers passing by. It cost him $10,000 to build. It's sad to see it is being turned off after 2 months of construction and all the money that he invested. It was neat while it lasted.

Full story here.
