Radio Shack used to have something that would sync(sort of) light to music. It was more for a home system...but could probably be adapted... if you are using AC...

But remember that was a long time ago.......

These are WAY more advanced than the ones I remember. The old ones had a reostat of some kind that you adjusted for slow or fast songs...or was it bass and treble???
Must be time to listen to the I can't remember song again. LAUGH@

Ok guys one more tip, Pep Boys has 100 watt power inverters for $19.98 and a 400 watt
power inverter for $29.98 sale starts December 6 to the 13th.

Good luck everybody and have a GREAT time. Two of the members know that I will not be able to attend  the party or meeting. Joan's immune system is so low our Doctors think it is a bad idea for me to go out and risk picking up something and giving it to her. Rest assure I really wanted to come and bought my ticket. I know you will understand that my wife of 52 years comes first, even before my own health.

Have a  Ghug for us and save us a goodie bag.

With all our love to all of you.  (love

The old man Bud and my young bride Joan.

I'm wondering if it works off of individual pitches or just pulses in the music... cause I could have some real fun if it worked off of pitches.

This controller is a pre-packaged, pre-programmed unit my kids found. (I told you my kids always buy mw cool stuff!). The units in these videos are made by light-o-rama and it's 100% programming. No sesnors you use a a computer to do all of it.


BTW I was going to buy on until the kids got me this one. I'm glad I didn't. Way too much time to set up the 6 channels, and it cost me a fortune in extension cords.

The Light-o-rama units start at 16 channels! 16 channels would be a minimum of 50 25' outdoor extension cords!  !fright!

When you do this kind of thing you have to buy bulk cord & custom make your extension cords, which means making a map and marking all of them for next year @7@

This will show you a SMALL system & the spaghetti that goes with it
