This is the most concise and accurate video I've seen on Christmas light programs. I'm using xlights for the second year and the software keeps getting better every release and the community is very supportive. Thanks Tech Guy.

I keep the Rapsberry Pis up and running 24/7, but have the controllers (and power supplies to the LEDs) on timers. I've seen too many photos of burned up pixels to leave them on 24/7.

You start small! I am in the same boat as where to start??? I am starting with a small digiquad controller. Then purchased 15 ft of led strips and one small led panel from Ali express to start playing on a small scale literally on a work bench. To get started this way it’s a much smaller investment and hopefully a less painful learning curve. Then KZitem how to videos.

Yes, you can do a search for the xLights shared Dropbox. Also, there is www.xlightsaroundtheworld.com/ where a couple of songs are selected each year. The sequence is released in such a way that it's (relatively) easy for people to adapt it to their homes.

That’s what the fm transmitter is for. People tune to the station in their car and can hear the music in synch with the lights.
