- In today's video, we take a look at how I tore down the 2023 Christmas light show and stored it! When you have a huge light show, it can be hard to figure out how and where you're going to store everything. So hopefully this video will provide some insight as to how I store everything, and maybe even give a few protips to help you!

Congrats on getting your first sponsor, sir.
Thank you! 😂
Great job and love the breakdown with everything.
Thank you!
The candy cane turns to a r. This is a really good video.
Hahaha yes 🤣
Great job with this unique video!
Recharge your batteries and I look forward to seeing your future videos!
Looks like you've got your storage pretty well handled for this year. There are definitely ways to improve, but you can always worry about that after next Halloween and/or Xmas. I really wish I could tell you a better way to handle those peace stakes, but the bungee's look pretty efficient keeping them in their perspective bundles. As for those controller boxes you should seriously look into a better way for their mounting as in adding brackets or look into a "French cleat". Besides the time it takes, you are setting yourself up to have connection issues and damage to the controllers. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you for the tip! I will definitely look into those French cleat brackets.
Why do you take the controller and power supply out of the cg-1500?
Because I don't want to leave them outside all year round. If you mean why didn't I just take inside the enclosure but leave the controllers inside it, it's because the screws to take down the enclosure are behind the controller.
@@How2Pixel oh, that makes sense that you need to remove the controller and power supply to access the screws.
Hey Nicholas, I was watching your videos since last year and I really enjoyed them, since i have a passion for light shows I thought to do something like this in the future. But anyways i have this type of adapter which is a usb cable (plugging to a laptop) to a dmx adapter (Ps. I got it from amazon). I have these 3 par stage lights i want to control. But with this usb to dmx cable i have, I wanted to leave out the use of a falcon controller to do a stage light show. But however I have been unsucessful to try and connect these dmx lights to the program with this usb to dmx since I am new to "Actually" connecting controllers and dmx props to xlights. If you have any ideas on how to do this, i'd be happy to know.
Hmm, I'm not quite sure if this could work with Xlights. Have you gotten the usb cables to work with programs other than Xlights? Could you send a link to where you got them from so I could look into them some more?
Absolutely. I originally use QLC+ for specific stage light effects and so on (but also I've been planning to try the lights on Xlights it self) . When you're downloading it, make sure it's the 4.12.7 version since the 5.0 version is preliminary and may crash your program and glitch your lights.
@@sanjpl48 Sorry for the late reply, I'll take a look into this. But do you have a link to the USB cable on Amazon so I can take a look at it? Then I could understand a bit more how it works.
@@How2Pixelsurr i can, however anytime i try to post the link. RUclips will take it off.
There are so many options in amazon, but they all work the same way.
