I've wanted to begin a Christmas display for several years and this would help me get started, finally.
welcome to this crazy hobby
Am I the only one, Who noticed his show car in the garage! Love it!
thanks
My first time doing a light show this year to spread happiness for the holidays and this mega tree is what I have in mind. Great video, very helpful!
Sounds great! and glad we could help
HOW AWESOME TO HAVE FOUND YOUR VIDEO!!! I have decorated since I was a child. I remember my Dad putting one little 100 light strand up and we loved it. Then he built me a wire star from his work that I still use. From there it has progressed every year and it's what makes Christmas to me. I decorate because it gives me such joy and I love to share it with others to give that nostalgia that I felt as a kid decorating.
I just upgraded to LED lights around my home to get rid of those costly lights that run up your power bill and had to be replaced and repaired every year. Now I want to advance my display and this tree would fit perfect in my current setup. I'm needing something to add that pizazz and help elevate my decor...
THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO and this opportunity!!
so glad you found us from not to the end of the year we will be putting up just show videos but in January we will start back up with more build and product videos. Merry Christmas
This is my first year to setup display. Been looking at mega trees to add for display. Really like all the information you have given on setting this up.
Glad it was helpful!
Wanted to do a mega tree for a while as a enter piece for my show, but I was a bit intimidated by building it, but your video and boscoro kits has really helped me to want to make this a reality’s this year,. Thank you for putting all this together.
Glad I could help! JD and good luck
First year building a show and this is exactly what I would like to build. This will definitely go in front of my house.
Welcome to this fun and crazy hobby.
I would LOVE to put this tree right up in front of my house! LOVE YOU GUYS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO!!!
Thanks for the Kind words Charles. we love giving back.
I live just north of you in marysville. Started putting up lights in February and ran across this vid today. Great instructional video! So far I have close to 4K lights outlining windows,eves,and garages. Planning on a mega tree or a few arches to fill out some of the “canvas” for this year.
Thank you for taking the time to help others in their quest to share holiday happiness with their communities.
Jay welcome to our crazy world and glad the videos have helped. if you have not heard of our local group here it is www.nwclap.com/
This is going to be my first year doing a light show and having a mega tree in the center of my display would make my kids very happy
Welcome to the hobby and best to your and yours.
Novice in displays, learning alot about xlight. Love to build an assume mega tree for the grand kids to enjoy for all holiday seasons. It's my way of giving enjoyment to the grandkids and inspire them to follow in my foot steps...
Happy holidays!
I'm doing one this year and I plan on having it front and center on the left side of our yard. Your video answered a lot of my questions including how to handle a slopped yard.
Ty, glad we could provided some incite and assistance.
Thank you. First year and trying to build a Mega Tree to put in my small yard. This would be just the thing I need
Good luck!
We all have been through a lot lately. I am planning to do my first light display this year and this tree would be an awesome start to my project!!!!
yes it would
I just discovered Boscoyo this year - wow! I have 2 diy RGB arches that I learned how to use last year. Now that I understand RGB I’m ready to go for a MegaTree! I’m the only house in my city that does synchronized light displays!
Glad it was helpful! and make your town proud
Best instructions on a RGB Mega Tree I have found. Very clear and concise. Everything is covered including where to buy the parts
and also some detail on how to make the tree more secure using j bolts and bungee balls. Great video
You're very welcome!
@@CounterHolidayLights I will be building this pixel tree for next Christmas. My plan is to have a Light O Ramma 16 channel controller for the tree and a stand alone controller for the tree topper that would connect into the 16 channel controller. This will be my only RGB piece and I don't plan on doing any expanding. Was looking to use a Light O Ramma director to play the show. Do you know where I can get an already sequenced couple of songs for this pixel tree and tree topper? Just want to be able to use the director and loop the songs.
you would need to talk to some one who uses light o ramma sorry I am an xlights user. search facebook for the light o ramma groups.
Great video - you covered all the essentials and make it look easy. I started last year with three props and a house outline. I would love to add a megatree and arches this year. The Boscoyo kit would be a great start.
Glad it was helpful!
One of the best megatree demonstrations I've seen. Thanks!
Wow, thanks!
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain every little step. It helps so much getting started and for the less mechanically inclined with the tips and tricks. I would love to win the mega tree because in my efforts this year I wasn't able to get the hardware for it and I am the only person in a good distance with any kind of light show.
You're very welcome!
This is going to be my first year and I've been pondering the idea of a Mega Tree, they looks so cool. This video is awesome! Thanks.
Awesome! Thank you!
Your video is very basic and easy to understand specifically for new people to this hobby like me. We need more of these kind. Many of the videos I have watched are too advanced for beginners. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! and we will keep making more as time goes on
This is my first year and I am on a tight budget so this would help a lot I am already a customer of Boscoyo and know the quality of their products. This was a great video thanks for the information you provided!
Glad it was helpful! Steve
Thank you for the video. Seen other videos as I would love to do one this year, but it never really clicked until I saw your video. Awesome. Excited on venturing into this hobby.
You can do it! and Welcome to the crazy fun hobby.!!!!!
Yet another cracking video! Many thanks.
This is just what I'm looking at getting.
My garden isn't very big, so this would be ideal to go at the side of my house as my first year display.
Keep up the good work
👍
Thanks Jason
I am just learning and your video has been very informative! I was a bit intimidated but excited looking into making our own show but your video has made me realize this is an attainable dream. I can’t wait to start for next year I am hoping to make the Boscoyo mega tree my first piece. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! welcome to this crazy fun hobby. everything is doable if you take your time and plan things out.
Excellent video. This will be my second year with RGBs but I got started late last year (October). The family really wanted me to do a Mega Tree but just didn't have the time. Now that I understand xLights a little better, a Mega Tree is definitely is going to be part of our display.
I've been nervous about 'how' to actually build one, but your video makes it seem of not so much of a daunting task.
Glad I could help Don and welcome to this exciting hobby.
My first year to do lights. For this year, I am doing a mega tree and 3 arches. I just want to do something small this year and add on next year. Thank you for this video cause it helped me decide on how to do my tree. Thank you.
Good luck! and Welcome to the crazy fun hobby.!!!!!
This is my first year taking the plunge into pixels after many years of traditional lights hung everywhere on my house. Really enjoyed your videos. If I were to win this tree, I'd plan to add it to my display next to some mini trees I got.
Justin Welcome to our crazy hobby enjoy the ride.
This is my first pixel year after many years running a show with software that I wrote around 10 years ago. I'd love to win this kit because this is the most helpful, detailed video I've seen on building a mega tree. We will make this the centerpiece of our display and will be the first in our end of town to have pixels. Also, I loved the fake (real) megatrees in the beginning of the video. The humor kept me watching! 🎄
Thanks Mark and Welcome to the crazy fun hobby.!!!!! MEGA TREES make a great centerpiece.
Could not have been more timely. I bought a Boscoyo Megatree kit and am assembling it right now in the back yard to get parts and pieces sized up. I love the kit so far, having a second megatree would be EPIC.
Dueling trees would be epic.
That's what I'm doing duel trees that's why I'm here!!!!!
Super helpful! Didn't know it would be so easy to build. I can't wait to put one in my front yard display!
Glad it was helpful! and Merry Christmas to you
I’m a college student @ the UW. This is the first year I’m working on a light display for my house in Redmond! I would love to learn this process myself and add it to my front lawn :)
Good luck!! Ayan, from one Washingtonian to another. have you reached out to the local group on FB facebook.com/groups/PNWCLDisplayOwnersOnly
Great demonstration for this Boscoyo mega tree kit. While I’m building a much larger custom mega tree on the house, this one would be great for the yard.
I would agree
I'm just starting out in my research on doing a light show and just got my first sets of lights ordered. Excited to jump into this hobby. Thanks for the informative video!
Have fun! and glad we could help;
I just started as well. Very expensive hobby 😂 but fun. I think you have to start planning thru the year and buy as you go. Trying to buy it all at once is very expensive and a lot of manufacturers go up in prices this time of year. Have fun!!
This tree kit looks great. Would make a great addition to my show. Thanks for sharing! 👍
No problem 👍
Great step by step video! I am starting next year and this is exactly what I needed to start to understand what to do.
Glad it was helpful!
Just placed my orders and working towards my first Mega Tree this year. Thank you for the video. It was very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Wooooooo Hooooooo! This tree would perfectly match my current tree. I'd place it on the opposite side of my yard, creating two pillars of lights anchoring my light show and giving more viewers the chance to enjoy the show at once.
I see Dueling trees.
I see that there are many worthy displays that can use this mega tree kit. great video Lorne.
Thanks for watching! Neil
Thanks for this video. It makes the project much less intimidating. this tree will make a great addition for my second year!
Glad it was helpful!
Super helpful and informative! This Boscoyo kit would be amazing and allow me to set up a mega tree on the side of my house opposite the rest of my props. Would love to be able to add to that side of the yard. Love the video!
Good luck!
That mega tree is awesome, thanks for the build guide! 😀
Glad you like it!
Awesome video while working through my first mega tree, thank you!
You're welcome! and make sure you gave the video a thumbs up to qualify
This would be a great addition for my 2 nd year utilizing pixels! Thinking on top of the roof to add some pizazz!
Thanks for the video and the opportunity!
Additional thanks to Boscoyo for their VCS2021 sponsorship!
You bet!
Awesome. Would love this... everything in one kit! Looks like easy setup.
It really is!
Love the video, would like to see more of these How To videos. Always thought of making and adding a MEGA tree tour our display. Last year was my first venture in pixels. We live on a lake in AZ where we have many folks drive by in their boats plus have a xmas boat parade so a MEGA tree would really make our display stand out from other neighboors!
Sounds great! would love a lake show, how fun. Welcome to the crazy fun hobby.!!!!!
This would be a great addition to my small show. I would love to have 2 trees bantering back and forth
so would I good luck to you Todd
This year (2021) will be my first year doing a Christmas light show and so far i have made Pixel sticks for the for the front garden and sprayed them so they look like candy canes. I have built 4 stars for the side of the house using Boscoyo stars and am now about to build 4 arches to mount on the roof of my garage with an RGB flood under each arch. I have designed a 16 strand Mega Tree in X-Lights and that's the next build so having this kit would help me massively in completing this in my build.
A great video as well with some great tips on building a tree, thanks.
glad you found it useful and Welcome to the crazy fun hobby.!!!!!
I saw your comment on my post on Facebook! I would absolutely enjoy putting a good mega tree in my show that we run for our community (the only house out of thousands) everyone loves our show and we want to upgrade!! This would be amazing!!!
Thank you so much for your contribution in both time and effort to this lighting community. People like you make it easier working through the hard times in setting this kind of show up
we are so glad you like the videos.
Love the tree. I’m going on my 2nd year and would love to add this to my display.
Good Luck to yo Tyler
I would put the mega tree front and center of my new display. Thanks for the informative video!!
Perfect! and Welcome to the crazy fun hobby.!!!!!
Would love this tree because my wife and kids find Christmas lights more fascinating than anything else in the world
who wouldn't
This is my first year converting over to pixels! Im still very new in the game and this would male an awesome centerpiece for the yard! This year I will have about 250,000 lights up and will be collecting for charity! This would be a great help in helping others to share the JOY of Christmas!!
welcome to the world of RGB smart pixels. love what your doing for Charity.
Just stumbled across your channel today. Very impressed! Even saved this one as i know I'll be using it as a reference in the future. The idea of a mega tree always seemed so daunting until now. It's my first year, and your megatree would look amazing next to my house :-) fingers crossed!
Jason, glad you found our channel, and enjoy this crazy fun hobby
Just saw this video. Great tip. Maybe next year I’ll be able to save up money to do my own MT. Would look great between my Disney blow molds think the grandkids would enjoy. Fantastic job and useful tips. Never done before but still learning. Thanks
Glad you found it usefull
Ty for the video very well explained planing on making one . Perfect for my yards thanks again . Will be watching more videos on how to
Glad it was helpful!
This will be my first year doing a light show and this would make a great center piece in my yard! 🤞
Good luck! and Welcome to the crazy fun hobby.!!!!!
My mother who has cancer would love something like this in her yard and brighten her nights
thoughts are with you
Great video... looking forward to building another
thanks and you can never get enough trees
Great video! Been wanting to add a tree to my display without my wife making me sleep in the garage for spending too much!
Good luck!
This Mega Tree would look Great in my sons front yard ! I can see it now with the snow falling and the pixels reflecting off the snow!
We love seeing show on our lights when it happens.
First-year to xLights, This would definitely help ease the financial burden of doing so. Great video, either way, I will be using this as a guide for my first tree. Thank You. Ken
Glad it was helpful!
great video! Looks easy to setup up. Would love this kit. Thanks.
Good luck!
Great video! This would be an awesome addition to our light show.
We agree!
Yay I need this. The 1 thing I want to add to my show this year
It is really a good kit and good luck to you.
@@CounterHolidayLights I almost missed the giveaway announcement. I was tired last night lol, came back this morning. What controller do you use? I thought about my falcon picap, but I'd have to do power injection for sure. Or use my picap for my roof and move my F16v3
this was a very helpful video as just starting out in this hobby and the wife is wanting a mega tree. This would be a great starting center piece as we have a lot of transitional LED's and just starting to get into the pixels for this next year.
Glad it was helpful! we made the same move 2 years ago. It is amazing how much more you can do with Pixels which I had jumped in a couple years earlier
Very nice tutorial. This is my first year trying rgb pixels. Currently waiting on some to trial run a jack-o- lantern display. Would love to set up a mega tree for Christmas! Here's hoping for some contest luck. :)
Welcome to the crazy fun hobby.!!!!!
First year doing a display so this would make an awesome addition to my first year
good luck to you
Great video. Now I gotta save up so I can get this setup to start my path into programmable Christmas lights!
You can do it!
It will be a great addition to my small show
good luck to you.
Excellent video. This would balance out the left side of my display.
thanks and sounds like a good place for it.
Awesome video! I just received the first props (11) that I ordered and my boscoyo mega tree kit to start! Excited to join the hobby!
Welcome aboard!
Thank you! Now to see how to put this 12/24 string tree together. My yard isn't huge so I went a little smaller.
Nice video. i love love it way you explain. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
We don;t have a mega tree, yet. This would be a great start! Good job with the video, thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Would love to add this to the front of my display. Only my second year so still building. Thanks for another awesome video Lorne
You are more then welcome Manuel and we love what you have done for your local community
Very nice build. Just getting into the holiday lighting. Would love a megatree.
Happy holidays! and Welcome to the crazy fun hobby.!!!!!
3rd year running xlights and planning on adding a mega tree this season. This would be a great fit!
We agree 100% everyone should have one.
Such a great video. I would love a shot at winning this. This will be my first year and having this kit would really save some time getting everything set up. Thanks
best of luck to you Justin
Honestly might have to do this next year, doesn't look as complicated to set up as i've always thought! Also cool to see your from WA, i'm down in lewis co. Only insanely cool set up I get to see is in a neighboring town. Always cool to see the time and work into these projects. Keep it up!
here is a good link to a local Washington group. we have a big meet up once a year in the olympia area
Nice instructional Video, I am just getting started with pixels and Xlights and trying to figure out what items I want in my setup
Glad it was helpful!
This would make the perfect center piece for my first year show. Right up against a side metal rv parking gate.
Good Luck to you Mark welcome to the madness. LOL
Nice video.. I'm planning my first display this year, and plan on building a mega tree just like this as the center-piece of my display. A free one would save me a lot of time & money! :)
Good luck! and Welcome to the crazy fun hobby.!!!!!
Good video and I've been following along for awhile. I've been starting with leds to out line my house. A tree would make a nice starter foundation to a display.
Good luck!
I am just getting started with trying to do lighting displays because I have some kids around the neighborhood that have lost the spirit of Christmas and would like to give them something interesting to look at to help to give those back in the spirit
always good to spread the spirit
very nice and well explained my friend...
Thank you very much
This is my family’s first year doing a animated light show. We would like to win the megatree kit as a centerpiece for our show. Keep up the videos we are finding them very helpful as noobs. Thank you.
Glad you like the videos we are putting out and enjoy this crazy hobby
Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching!
Like lots of others this is my first year doing a pixel display. I have lots of experience in theatrical lighting and programming but none yet with xlights. Definitely would love to include this in my display!
welcome to this crazy hobby
Nice video!
I’m preparing for my first year with a pixel display and have been considering a tree about this size.
Jeff we thought the same thing last year.
This has been super informative! Thanks for posting. This would be my first tree if I were to win. Would like to see the video of the controller box setup.
we have a couple of box build videos on our channel right now. for this tree last year we used to receiver cards 8 channels you could also use half of an F16. it all would depend on if you planed on power injecting or not.
Very good how to!
Thank you! Cheers!
This would be a perfect fit for my yard, looking to add a mega tree. I am adding props this year for my sons house next door, they just had another new member added to their family and I can not think of a better way.
It sure would and congrats on the new member of the family
Great video and nicely showed easy steps 👌 I'm just starting this year, and would love to have a mega tree in my first year. But being across the pond in The Netherlands, it's not that easy (or affordable) to get my hands on all this great stuff. That's why I'd love to win this 😊
Glad it was helpful! good luck and Welcome to the crazy fun hobby.!!!!!
Awesome would love to add one to my display.
good luck to you.
Hey there. I have been doing lights but just with incandescents and LED strings for 10 years and now I am finally going to get into pixels!! I am sure you have given the Boscoyo stand away, but holy cow i would love to have one if you have one for this year to give away. Great video and it totally calmed me down and made me realize i can do this!
Glad it calmed you down, this is a great DYI hobby
This would be a great addition to my show.
that's for sure
Very awesome and informative video. First year for us. We’ve received all of our pixels and our props will be here Saturday. The wife and kids really want a mega tree but I told them we need to wait a year. However, if I win your contest I’ll gladly add it to help balance our our display. The one side of our driveway won’t have anything for our first season so this would be an awesome addition! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Chris you are more then welcome and enjoy this fun hobby
Keep up the great work. This is just like my mega
Thanks! Will do!
Informative video. I'd like to have something like this for next year.
Glad it was helpful!
This is going to be my 2nd year with XLights and my 10th year with Lights. We really need this addition as I want to have the trees bantering back and forth.
Cheryl, that is a fun thing to watch.
