As for the electric bill, the designer/homeowner posted: "Since 99% of the lights are LEDs, the electricity to run the show for the entire month is about $100."

A friend has a relative who does a complex display like this every year. Brilliant guy who is both a musical composer and an expert programmer. My friend told me recently that the guy begins programming his Christmas display in April.

I went to the youtube vids to see if the one in the OP is the same guy. It's not--this one is in SoCal.
