More than 100,000 individually controllable RGB pixels, custom-built props, and towering mega-trees — all programmed frame by frame and synchronized to music. Here's a look under the hood.
Unlike traditional string lights, each pixel can be set to any color and controlled individually — the building blocks of every animation.
Towering pixel mega-trees and custom props are built specifically for the display and become animated canvases of light.
Every song is mapped out frame by frame in xLights so each effect lands precisely on the beat.
Because each pixel is full RGB, the show can sweep through millions of colors and effects across the property.
A conventional light display switches strings of bulbs on and off. High Flying Lights is built from individually addressable RGB pixels — think of each one as a tiny screen pixel. Grouped across mega-trees, arches, and custom props, they can display shapes, sweeps, and animations that move in perfect time with the music.
Every sequence is programmed in xLights, the software behind many of the country's largest displays. Each song is choreographed frame by frame — a single show represents many hours of design work, which is why the playlist and effects keep evolving each season.
The audio is broadcast on 92.5 FM and streamed through the free PulseMesh app, so whichever you choose, the music you hear stays locked to the lights you see.
