• <div><p>Yes, you can synchronize Christmas lights with music to create a DIY light show. To do this, you will need several components.

You will also need specialized software to program the show; popular options include Light-O-Rama (LOR), Vixen, xLights, and Animated Lights.

Steve and crew were great. They worked efficiently as a team and got the job done quickly. We had a lot of branches because of previous storms and they removed them as well. We had a tree which had fallen and needed to be cut. Steve came back a few days later and cut it for us. Thanks guys...
