How to Set Up Computerized Christmas Lights

By Society & Culture & Entertainment Last updated Sunday, June/23/2024

1). Position the lights where you want the display to be throughout the exterior of the home. Test the light bulbs to confirm that they are all functioning.
2). Attach an extension cord linking the lights to the controller box. From there, connect the controller box to an AC power outlet and a USB adapter with a cat5 cable. Connect the other end of the USB adapter to your computer with a USB cable.
3). Use the Light-O-Rama software installation to view various lighting presentations on your computer, or to create your own. This software enables you to coordinate the lights and music and to set up different display options.
4). Test the display beforehand to see that everything is running smoothly. Do a test run when it is dark so you can see the display more clearly.
5). Attach the FM transmitter to your computer and play your selected music in conjunction with the light display. This step is optional depending on whether you want to include music.
