-
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.
