I really like the Tree to the right of the garage, it appears to be made of a straight leaping archs or light stick sections. How many channels does it use? I am guessing 64. How many channels do you use for the entire display?

Hi, Tim:
Thanks. Yes, that is my "Century" Tree because it uses just under 100 channels and has 10K lights. I hope to have another Century Tree for 2008. The entire 2007 display is over 300 channels.
Truly amazing display, Roy. I really have decided now that I'm going to wait and add a bunch of stuff in one year instead of just piecing stuff together.

Hi, jbone64:
Thank you. Yes, you are correct. The 2 left trees are 3 section, 4 colors, 26 total channels, and 1680 total LEDs. The 2 big trees in front are 4 color, 3 section trunk, 34 total channels, and 3400 total LEDs.
Roy, Fantastic! You've outdone yourself. I really love the century tree with all the effects you did with it. Also, one thing I just noticed is you do a really good job blending the white LED and white Incandescent bulbs together. Looks amazing and I can't wait to see you again at the Philly Mini!

Hi, Greg:
Thanks! For 2008, I'm planning on switching all of the cool white LEDs to warm white LEDs.
Philly mini- yes that is the plan, to have it at my place. I will probably start to get some information up in the next few weeks. I have a big backyard and best of all a big basement in case it happens to rain! I'll let ya know when I get my act together.
Can you explain how you hooked up the century tree? How the light strands are attached and such...
Outstandng!!! You display and sequencing is incredible. I absolutely love the washes on the house. It looks like you're using Red, Blue, Green, and White. How many total spots?

Man! That "Century" tree is amazing. Would you consider post details or maybe even a how to build one?
WOW, I didn't notice your signature before with 320 channels. I only have 128 and have a hard time keeping track of everything. I can't imagine trying to program that many channels, My head hurts just thinking about it. I am planning to add several more controllers for this years display.I am courious what computer set-up you use for programming the sequences, are you using a multi monitor set-up to eliminate some of the scrolling up and down and being able to see more of the channels at once?

BTW nice song!

Greg,
Sounds good, see you at the mini!
I plan to do a "how-to" shortly since there seems to be a lot of interest in the Century Tree.
for 2008
