Sorry, no show this year.

We had water damage in the basement back on August 24th, and it's been a long path to recovery. Unfortunately it's left no time to do the usual rework/testing/repairs necessary to put on the show. Please check back next year when we hope to be back.

Our Story

VanBurenLights is a computer controlled christmas light show with over 60,000 separately controlled LED lights. The show is set to music over FM radio station 87.9. The display is in it’s 8th year. Back in 2009 it was all incandescent with 48 discreet blinking elements. Over the years we added music over FM radio, and ultimately transitioned to all LED pixel lights.

Everything you see in the display is assembled out of parts sourced direct from manufacturers (LED Pixels, for example are sourced directly from China), other lighting enthusiasts (I am directly connected with several families that have been seen on “the Great Christmas Light Fight” over the past few years), and of course the hardware store

The Pixel LED’s are controlled by custom computer hardware built by us, and driven over a TCP/IP network by a Raspberry Pi computer.

The musical sequences are created using open-source, enthusiast created software called xLights.
