Gadget Freak Case #179: Homegrown Holiday Lights with Homemade Control

Gadget Freak 179

Gadget Freak 179 400

Vince Cappellano wanted to put up some holiday lights that wouldn't cost a fortune but would dance smart. He did some research with the dream of building a display that would go YouTube viral - without the familiar disaster of "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."

He embarked on a system that could provide a reasonably high-performance system with features that were not available among the commercial products on the market.

The result of Vince's work is a dazzling display of holiday flash - not expensive and plenty unique.
