Back in 2001 when we moved to Southport we put up a few festoons of coloured lights for Christmas, these were the size of household bulbs in many different colours - they could have been stolen from Blackpool! We were one of the first in Southport to take Christmas lighting seriously, there were no £4.99 strings of LED lights back then! In the intervening years we've put up the odd string of lights and then last year we made a tree from just a couple of strings of LED lights from The Range, it was incredible how many comments we got from such a simple thing. Spurred on by this we researched LED smart pixels which are small lights containing red, green and blue LEDs in the one 'bulb'. Each colour of LED in each pixel can be controlled by a bespoke controller and computer program. The challenge was on! After months and months of work the 2016 display was revealed and drew crowds of spectators plus articles in The Visiter and Champion newspapers. We ran the show on behalf of Freshfields Animal Rescue raising almost £200. The 2016 show featured 3000 pixels containing 9000 LED's and 27,000 data channels for control. For 2017 we have added singing faces, Christmas stocking, 360 degree sphere, north pole, stars, window lights and replaced the mega tree topper. These modifications have doubled the pixel count to 6000. Come along on our opening night Saturday Dec 9th at 6pm to see the most spectacular light show in Southport and support Freshfields!
