Frequently Asked Questions
Questions we get asked many times a day about our light show
Do we need to pay to enter?
Nope, you can visit as many times as you want for no cost at all. We do have a donation box at the letterbox if you wish to leave a donation however, this is 100% optional.
How long does it take to put up the lights?
We began putting the lights up in September, mostly during weekends and after work
How much does this cost to run?
The light show uses very little power all up, about as much as 3 heaters running (About 6500 watts) and costs us somewhere between $10-20 to run, thanks to our Power provider Contact Energy for providing the Good Nights plan which gives us free power from 9pm till Midnight!
Consider using our Refferal link if you wish to do the same! https://contact.co.nz/friends/FRJRLGV. Our large solar panel system helps offset our power usage as we produce more than we use.
Do you mow the lawn?
Nope
How many lights do you have?
340,000+ lights, and this is a best guess!
How long do the lights stay on for tonight?
See the Show Times listed above
How long have you done light displays and how much does it cost?
About 20 years, the last 10 years of which were musically sequenced I would have to guess over $30,000 has gone into light shows, I try not to keep count.
Where do I get my lights?
I get most of my lights from Bunnings Warehouse, and import the more specialised ones seen on the Mega Trees.
Can I take photos and videos?
Yes, of course, you're welcome to take as many photos and videos as you want
How do you control all these lights?
I use a program called Vixen Lights to sequence the lights, and then lots of control boards that take the signal from the computer and turn it into on and off signals for the lights.
The lights on the big trees (And other lights that do the same thing) are run from special controllers that can talk to the whole string at once.
