Christmas Light Show 2011 in Fountain Valley, CA by Devers Dream Weavers 54,020 LEDs No.2

- I installed this light show at a friends home in Fountain Valley, CA. It's dedicated to the memory of Larry Stewart who passed away on May 15th, 2011. Larry and his wife always wanted to do something big for Christmas, this is their dream come to fruition, I was glad to assist in making this happen.
This setup consists of 56,100 LEDs (220 StellaGreen strings controlled by 15 StellaScapes E16-II controllers), programmed to dance to the music via MADRIX Ultimate running on a custom built Core i5-760 @ 2.8GHz w/ 8GB of RAM. The snowflakes, arches, mini trees, mega tree, & star topper were all made by me. Several custom effects were programmed in MADRIX. All networking, installation, research, programming, & all nighters performed by me (Damion)
EDIT, the title says 54,020 LEDs, this error was brought to my attention by Fabian Gordon, a real good guy in the lighting scene. I arrived at 54,020 during one of many 48+ work days and made a mistake. It's really 56,100 LEDs. Too late to change the video now though :P
I'd like to thank Jan for giving me the opportunity & trust to tackle this project. John Chapman of Engineering Solutions Inc. for his guidance & help as well as Andrew Frazer. Last but certainly not least,my wife for sticking by my side throughout this journey in "lightland"!
Since people keep asking, or assuming this setup draws a lot power; The whole system draws a maximum of 24 Amps, it runs on 120v AC. So that equals 2880 watts. Basically if you run a hair dryer and a vacuum cleaner, it's nearly equivalent.
Music is by Vector Mode - Little Drummer Boy. It's on the Hot Hits Christmas Dance Party CD1
Ellis & Ward, go north on Ward, turn left on Apache River, you cant miss us. Show is run Dusk till 10pm. - Навчання та стиль

I just SAW THIS ON THE NEW!! AND HAD TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT! AND OMG!! IT'S INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I GIVE MANY MANY PROPS TO THE GUY BEHIND THIS MAGICAL LIGHT DISPLAY SOOOOO AMAZING!! KEEP IT UP AND NEVER STOP DOING THIS ON CHRISTMAS NO MATTER WHAT THE old bitter neighbors say!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've looked at many "light show houses" over the years. This was the most elaborate and kinetic by far. The LED roof was incredible. I've got to get to Fountain Valley and see it.
THANKS for sharing your talent!!!
M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S!
God bless you for doing this in memory of your friend,Larry Stewart.
Most impressive home holidays lights I have ever seen !
This why you should do things when you are alive as Larry would have loved to see this rather than dedicated to his memory !
People, read !
" The whole system draws a maximum of 24 Amps, it runs on 120v AC. So that equals 2880 watts. Basically if you run a hair dryer and a vacuum cleaner, it's nearly equivalent. "
So stop with your negative comments! Why always find the negative in everything?
It's just, wonderful ! What a tribute! ...
Congratulations ...
(Pardon my English, I'm french)
So incredibly well done and beautiful, I teared when I saw the text to your friend who has passed away.
I saw this on my way back from playing basketball at shoreline with my friends, it was freaking awesome in person. kinda wanted to just stay and watch the show
This is very cool, I will have to swing by this weekend. Those neighbors need to get over themselves.
Thanks for coming to see the lights! It's so much better in person!
Wish I could have this over my family's graves to celebrate them. Awesome!
Great Job!!! I'm very knowledgeable in electronics, therefore I can appreciate all the hard work you did in this project. Doing this in memory of your friend that passed away is a beautiful thing. May God Bless You!!! Merry Christmas.
Aww that was just just wonderful! Merry Christmas to you all and what a lovely gesture you have made for your friend. Thank you for sharing with us who couldn't come to see it in person.
SO EPIC! Beautifully done...I would love to be one of the kids living near this house. And people....if you read the description he says the energy required for this light show is equivalent to running a hair dryer and vacuum....so...think BEFORE you type!
Thank you for posting this! I wanted to see it in person, but I kept missing the chance!
They just keep getting better and better.
This is an amazing combination of technology and art. Congratulations..In my view Lightshows are better when they are not always exactly in sync with a sound track ....The best Lightshows look like they are controlled by humans, by artists. By controlled chaos..... In my view....And it is a very moving tribute to your friend...All the best art is done for love. In my view.
Simply beautiful!
Absolutely incredible. I especially loved the all blue portion, and the dedication to your relative/friend, not sure which. It brought a tear to my eye. Very nice dedication. Truly remarkable. God Bless.
PS- I do believe in my heart that Larry could see this Wonderful work of art and I'm sure he truly loved an appreciated it :)
that is the best light show EVER!! Awesome!!
I had to sign in to like this video and watch it again later, SO WORTH IT! :)
WOW and thanks for making Christmas times so memorable,
This is amazing... i will definitely come by to see.
dont you just love the stellagreen RGB Led strings and Madrix, its all about a lot of bright color.
Sooo awesome! LOVE LOVE LOVE! Thanks Damion & Happy Holidays to you!
@MrG....really? Who asked you to critique his dedication to his friend. Larry must of been proud to be your friend, even if you placed one candle in the window for him. You are obviously very talented! I've been watching UA-cam lighting shows all afternoon and yours is the first one I watched all the way through. Bravo to you!!!!
We will be doing the lights again this year, Thanksgiving evening through Christmas, from dusk to 10pm. See you there!
A question
Awesome!!!!!,and a moving story of how this came about . Well done
Beautiful.. but should come with a warning for people who suffer from seizures. . . Looks like a lot of work! Bravo! I'm SURE that LARRY can see it.
hope your friend Larry really likes the show! I wonder if he went and tapped God and said -"hey Big Chief! take a look at what my friends did for me!" - happy holidays! I enjoyed the show!
WOW you guys are awesome I bet you christmas tree lights up like that too.
That's crazy and awesome at the same time!
What a spectacular job! What a nice thing to do! Merry Christmas!
A massive work, very beautiful !!! Happy Holidays to all the world
@DeversDreamWeavers awesome. totally going to come by.
Awesome! I'm flying out to Cali tomorrow actually, I'll be in Huntington Beach. I'll have to come check it out!
@TheJamieharrington Thanks, had a great time making it, even if making the snow flakes made my fingers bleed.
Too bad it's next to the poop plant, lol. Luckily your vision sense will be so overwhelmed you won't be able to smell :D haha. Great job!
Midnight Christmas Rave at this house. Bring the glowsticks.
i liked the description but its sad that Larry isn't alive to really enjoy it.
Awesome Detail RIP Larry
DANCE PARTY IN THAT DUDES DRIVEWAY!
Very beautiful, thank you.
Simply amazing!! Merry Xmas all!
@neilric99 I do like the flexibility, this is my first foray into programmable RGB lighting, fun stuff, can't wait to add more! This setup is Art-Net II, guess I should have added that in the video....
RIP. happy holidays.
Amazing creativity!
You should hook it up to the alarm system... because it would make a HELL of an alarm!!
wow....left me speechlessssss
that's awesome...God bless you.
Wow...speechless!
Stunning Show! An amazing job...nicely done. You are a good friend, indeed! Merry Christmas to you.
^^X^^
I must say, U have set a new standard, as it appears U are one of the 1st to use LED lights & pixel mapped the FX. Very good. Now just go over it again, so that you get better synchro with the music ie watch the music-beats and flashes. If you project pictures, keep the ambiance darker, so that the effect stands out. It tend to lose if the surrounding light is flashing as a message or pic is shown. U had a serious lull in the middle, where the music was begging for lighting FX+only pulsed. BRAVO
What a really nice person u are..This is so elegant and done tastefully...u need to go into business........kudos to u
I wish I could see that live :D
that was so AWSOME!!!!!!
UA-cam twitter brought me here. Anyways, wow! WE LOVE THIS!
I never comment on videos. But i just had to for this. Amazing Job dude!
Their neighbors are like "They want to contact aliens"
Oh and if you dont like the music. No problem. The best Lightshows go with ANY music. Just turn the video sound off and turn your stereo up with your favourite tunes, Classical or Pop or....whatever takes your fancy...the Synaesthetic effects of a good Lightshow are amazing.....
Great stuff!!! That's really awsome. Look like Deck the Halls movie with Danny DeVito!
I'm also interested in the song... it's nice.
This is great! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays.
The end get' really good.
awesome dedication
Pretty crisp,neat stuff
Beautiful!!
Awesome job. Congratulations.
I love it. Happy Christmas!
hmm...ok thnk u....its a must ...christmas after few days.... :)
cant wait to see it!!!
Just beautiful and love the song! Merry Christmas! :)
This is CRAAAZY. But SOOOOO GOOD!
This is fan-freakin'-tastic.
Amazing job. Wow.

히야.. 정말 멋진 음악, 멋진 불꽃 놀이 !!!

beautiful! that must have been a lot of work to put all that in place
Awesome work
Thank god I have good neighbors. It must suck to live next to that.
one of the best I've seen on youtube!
man i wish ppl would do this in places that have snowfall, no offence to the vid because that is insane, it would just be cool to see this during a heavy snowfall
I started out on this project using e1.31, but quickly realized it couldn't cut it. The switch to ArtNet-II was required due to the amount of data being pumped out over multicast.
awsome.........truely awsome
HOLY CRAP! That's amazing
Goto Ellis & Ward, drive North on Ward, turn left on Apache River before the 405 overpass. From Talbert & Ward, drive South, turn right on Apache River. From dusk till 10pm, look for the glow in the sky.
Well done. :) Merry Christmas!
incredible!!!
Great work! Ignore the detractors, haters gonna hate.
super Beautiful!!
Indeed we are! Please come by and see it, we've added lots of new things for this year!
Exit the 405 Freeway at Euclid, go south towards Ellis, Turn right on Ward St. then Left on Apache River, follow Apache River to our place, you can't miss it, follow the glow!
