I've been visiting this tree for years. It's my favorite light display in Columbia. I don't think the photograph really captures the way this tree looks. In person, it is like staring into a fantasy. You get lost in the lights and their oddly vibrant color. Magic is a good word for it. Some of the bulbs are hand painted. Others are LED lights. The first time I visited the tree, it was an undiscovered treat. Now, there are usually four or five cars driving by when I go. This year, for the first time, there was also information about the tree available, provided by "Will Treelighter."
There are 68,500 lights on the tree. They are powered by eleven 20 amp circuits. It is plugged into 19 outlets. Putting the lights on the 30 foot tree took more than 100 hours.
And for the record, no more than 72 sets of conventional mini lights can be safely plugged into one 20 amp circuit :-) Merry Christmas eve to all.
