Hello,

here is the link:

I was just wondering how that was done, how did he do it??? It is amazing!!!

I would like to make something like this on a much smaller scale.

I would really appreciate some help

thanks,

George L.

As suggested in the other thread, it's most probably done using DMX512 light controllers.

I remember i saw they rigged up a block of flats, and played a big giant game of pong (or is it ping?) using the lights of each window. Is that the same sort of system too?

that guy is in Ohio, and they actually shut him down. It was causing traffic jams and car wrecks. Crazy. Awesome none the less.

Also, the electric bill is much less than if the lights did not blink, so it is much less than other peoples houses.
