Hello from Central Alberta Canada! I signed up on this forum a little while ago for the Christmas light manual, am about half way through (at the time I write this), and figured it was time to introduce myself.

My wife told me she wants new Christmas lights on the house as some of the existing dumb LED's have started dying... awww schucks... now I have to play with flashing lights and computers! The lights will likely not be part of a large display, but I also am not looking at one string of lights across the front of the house. Likely a house and fence outline, lights around a deciduous tree in the yard and maybe a couple other small props. It all depends on what my wife and I decide, She has already said she doesn't want the traffic increase on our street that would come with a large display.

I am thinking about starting with the fence outline this year for a couple reasons: 1)The lights on the house do still work, except for a half dozen led's that are burnt out. 2)There are none on the fence. 3)Finally, if I take the existing lights off the house and don’t get any back up before Christmas, I won’t hear the end of it!

If all goes well with our first venture into smart LED's we would continue with replacing the existing lights on the house with smart LED'S and maybe a couple other props
