Introduction

Being creative and building your own Christmas light shows (Lightscapes) is fun and very satisfying.
With the right advice, it's very simple!

So I'll give you the basic know how to quickly repair lights or design and build fan-tas-tic light shows. Remember when you built gi-normous Lego creations?  I'll give you the basic electrical knowledge and block components to build equivalent shows! For example, how to connect a music controller to your LED lights ... then your neighbours can watch these lights dance! To make this easy, there will be plenty of detailed diagrams and pictures to show you how.
