• This years estimated light count is 54687.  Which includes 1500 C9 bulbs.
     

  • If all the strings of lights were lined up from end to end they would stretch more than 2.5 miles.
     

  • To hook up all the lights over 200 extensions cords are used stretching more than 4000 feet.
     

  • If all the lights were turned on at once it would take just under 250 amps of power, with 1/3 going to power the C9 bulbs.
     

  • 600 feet of Cat5 cable is used to hookup all the controller boards.
     

  • It takes about 10 days to put up and hookup all the lights.
     

  • And about 3 or 4 days to take down and store them all.
     

  • The electric bill is not as much as you would think, it roughly triples the normal December bill to around $80.  Which is much better than the $250 bill I would get when the lights were always on.
