    I was wondering about the flight path, but I didn't know how far out in Vancouver you.were... They come right over my house to land! The fighters are fun to watch though, but sure are loud!

    Thanks for the photo!

    Laser (the acronym derived from Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation) is a spectacular manifestation of this process. It is a source which emits a kind of light of unrivaled purity and intensity not found in any of the previously known sources of radiation. - Lasers & Non-Linear Optics, B.B. Laud.

    They come right over my house too. Only when it's windy/stormy out though. The terrain drops down a few neighborhoods over so they come in close. I love it when it's really windy and a 747 blasts over the house -especially when they throttle up the engines at the right moment.

    I dont have so much "outdoor" Christmas light this year..
    I just buy my house this summer.. and have been working on it since June !
    When I bought the house, it was yellow, ugly, bad shape, and no light at all outside..

    But here is a small video-clip from my phone, from the house and all the lights i have mounted
    It`s 4 Up-Down spot on the house side walls !
    3 Down-Light spot on the garage front.
    2 Front lights beside the windows

    And for christmas: I have 5 electric lights (candles?) in each window, each one have 30 small light bulbs. and one betlehem star in the main window
    At the garage I have some LED ice lights (i personally dont like the LED colour)

    here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpZiPMFX_FY


    Love some feedaback

    I forgot to say..

    All my lights that is visible from the outside is motion controlled by an IR-motion detector that is mounted on my house

    So the lights is usually dimmed down to 10% when idle modus.
    And everythime you walk\drive by the house they bright up to 100% (like you see on the video)


    Cheers

    I've never walked by a house and noticed it lighting up like that for me.

    Kudos!

    I have x10 Soft-Start modules
    They dim up slowly when you turn them ON..

    And then turn "on" when there is motion in fromt of my house..
    At night the lights is normally off after 30min.

    Daytime they are at 50% , and when there is motion they bright up to 100%
