My Xmas start rises for every December. I found one on the WWW and created my own version with programmable LEDs, Arduino UNO, and a 5vdc, 6amp power supply. I don't like blinking LEDs. I prefer to issue a repeating red,green, blue pattern. Xmas decorations are not regulated ( and should not be) but some neighbors have a large inflatable Santa Claus that deflates in the morning.
