How long does it take to setup the display?

It's around 100-125 hours of work to put up all the Christmas decorations. The work spans 3 weekends.

How do you get the lights to the top of the trees?

We rent a drone to hang the lights in the tall trees. Scroll down to watch the video. The DJI Mavic Pro 3 is built to carry a payload. We attach the lights, fly it in place, and then use a device to detach the lights from the drone. This is a safe and fast way to hang the lights!Cycling through 3 batteries, you can fly the drone with a payload all day long.

What is your power bill?

The display has it's own power. An electrician has measured the display consuming around 70 amps, which is enough power for a small, single family home.The display uses 20 outlets across separate 10 receptacles.

How do you turn the display on and off?

Everything runs through WiFi controlled smart home outdoor plugs. This allows us to control everything by phone and set automations to turn everything on and off each night.

What charities do your support?

We support the funds, like Baldwin Park Cares, at 4 local schools in the area. 100% of the money goes to kids that NEED basic items like food, clothes, safety gear, etc.
