Power

Everything on 176 Amps

  

Wire

Over 1.5 miles of extension cords.

 

Controllers

We are running 192 channels.



FM Transmitter

The radio signal is provided via a low power FM transmitter.  Transmitting range is only about an eighth mile.

  

Security

To keep an eye on things and to ensure the display runs smoothly for the entire season, we have installed several  cameras that record video 24 hours a day. There are also motion sensors in key areas. To date, our biggest problem has been with rabbits, who just love to chew on wires.
