[QUOTE="mrweiss52, post: 128023, member: 36848"] To answer some the questions in the two preceding posts, I live in Minnesota, USA. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the house yet (to import into X-Lights), because there is a large tree in the front yard that still has most of its canopy of leaves. My house is what they call a "modified 2-story" (the 2nd story is only over half of the first floor). The front elevation of the house is about 80 feet side to side with left side being a 3-car garage, and the right half is the first floor. The left side extends out from the right side about 23 feet. If you look down at my house from the "heavens" it's L-shaped. I live at the end of a cul de sac so my lot is pie shaped (it's very narrow by the street, and very wide in the back). The garage side of the house is setback from the road approximately 55 feet. My Christmas 2021 120v static all LED display consists of an inflatable. props, and the outline of the entire roofline and garage doors with warm white C9 LED bulbs. My wife and I are retired, and live on a fixed income, so I don't have an unlimited amount of money available (maybe I picked the wrong hobby). But when I do spend money it's usually on quality stuff that offer the best value. I'm not looking to "build" something for this year's (2022) display, but if I were able to complete something I would put it in this year's display (weather permitting). And once we get the annual "permanent" snow cover (usually shortly after Thanksgiving) it averages about 12 inches deep until April. [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
