How much does power does the display consume?
We estimate that power consumption is around 1,000 Watts (1KW) as the display uses LED lighting. Only a portion of the lights are on simultaneously, so we don't even notice the difference in our power bill. Previously the display drew 10,000 Watts (10KW) if everything was on at the same time and it added around $30 to our monthly power bill.
How much did this year's lighting display cost?
We don't talk about the budget in front of Katie...
How long does the display take to set up?
It takes around 6 hours to sequence every 30 seconds of music and we have approximately 1 hour of content. Construction of new props for 2016 took around 45 hours and to setup all of the display and fault find any little problems took around another week..
