Moyer Displays
A Little About The Displays
My name is Darrel and I am 21 years old and reside in Lebanon County,Pennsylvania with my parents. I set up a light display that consists of approx. 28,000 lights. Most of them being miniature, I also decorate with C-9's, C-7's, and L.E.D.’s. Included in my light display are wooden reindeer, animated reindeer, an eleven piece Nativity Scene, plastic figures, inflatables and lighted trains. There are other items in the display but are too numerous to list.
When I was younger I my parents would always take me to a large Christmas Display a gentleman did with the help from his friends. That's where my inspiration came from to what I do today.
I've been decorating ever since I was about 7 years old with just the lights on the Christmas tree and I assisted my Dad with the outdoor lights he had been setting up for years. A few years later he left me start to put up the lights outside. It just grew from there.
I also decorate the inside of the house with approx. 1,000 lights. About 750 of those lights are on the tree alone. All of the rest of the lights are throughout the rest of the inside of the house. Also inside I decorate with music boxes, ornaments, garland, tinsel and just about everything else that you could think of. I also set up a Christmas Village consisting of buildings, trees, people, cars and of course a train. My father and I are into model trains as well as the real ones and I just had to add some trains into the light display somewhere.
For my two larger displays (Halloween and Christmas) I get some extra help from friends in the area who come over and help me set up the lights. Also, I get help from time to time from my family too. I am grateful for the help and support I get from my friends, family and others around the community and from my friends from the Christmas Forums I belong to. Without the help and support from them, my displays would not be possible.
Other than the Christmas and Halloween light display, I set up other smaller displays for various other holidays of the year. This includes Flag Day, Memorial Day, Easter, the 4th of July, Labor Day and Valentines Day.
This past Christmas I synchronized my lights to music using off the shelf hardware and software from
Light-O-Rama. To learn more here is the link to their website http://www.lightorama.com/.
