How To     The picture to the left is a screen shot from one of my shows using Light-O-Rama software. Each  individual square you see that is colored will turn a light on/off, make it twinkle, shimmer, fade or will control the intensity. The section you see will control my light for approximately 4 seconds. Since a song averages 3 minutes you can imagine how long it taked to program all of it. Each row is a channel which can control a certain amount of lights. My 2007 shows were controlled by four 16 channel controllers. In my 2008 shows I will be using eight 16 channel controllers increasing my channels from 64 to 128.       The picture to the right is one of the 16 channel controllers that I use. First you will need to establish how many channels your show will require. This will depend on the type of controller you purchase. For example, each of my controllers are rated at 30 Amps (15 Amps per 8 channels). You can not exceed 8 amps on any given channel. Next you have to take the amperage calculations you made earlier and decide which lights will be connected to the appropriate channel. I won't get into detail about the programming and operation of the controller as it varies depending on the manufacturer.   You will have to establish how your visitors will hear your show. I used two pairs of outdoor rock speakers (picture to the left) powered by two seperate PA amplifiers. This gave me the ability to control the volume in different areas of my shows.   Another option is to use an FM Transmitter (picture to the right). This will broadcast the audio from your show into the car radios of your visitors. I will be using both of these options in my 2008 shows so people will be able to hear the music inside or outside of their vehicles.
