Using christmas lighting gear for Halloween

08 January 2004

Lots of discussion in the MoM group about using Christmas lighting and control gear for Halloween. Lots of good pointers – Light-o-rama control software, Dasher at the Christmas Cave, Animated Lighting for all kinds of controllers and props, a simple two-outlet fade controller. Now controlling Christmas lights is actually a bit different than Halloween – Christmas lighting is not intended to surprise, so much of the software and gear doesn’t pay attention to latency, and doesn’t have all the input/control options. But some useful stuff here anyway.
