The system used in these is called LOR, or Light-O-Rama. Each of the controllers will draw up to 15 amps from an outlet, or 20 amps if it's hard wired to the circuit breaker. Each controller will control 8 channels, or 16 channels in two banks of 8. Each channel can utilize a maximum of 8 amps. All is computer controlled.

The new LED Christmas lights only draw 10% of the power from a standard C9 incandescent string, which means that if you used them, you could have a very large display, but the lights are very expensive.

I suspect that if you were to upgrade to a 300 amp service from a 200 amp service in your home, you could put on a display 'you can see from space!'

By the way, I liked the information that if you turned on all the lights in the Hallman display, it would draw 360 Amps! Which is 160 MORE than what most households are wired for. That's some electric bill

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
