Here is another peek at the upcoming show. We added The Greatest Show to the Depoe Bay Lights show in 2022. For 2023 we have updated it with a number of new effects and we added the moving heads. Love to hear your thoughts. Keep watching this space. I will […]
It has been awhile since I have posted to the blog. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been working on the show. Let me see if I can provide you with some information on some of the things we have been working on. The New Moving Heads – I have received […]
Peggy asked for a sequence… She doesn’t make a request like that very often so I’ve been working on it and the preview can be seen below. The hillside for the show has changed quite a bit for this year as you can see. We are in the process of […]

The Angel Wings have arrived. EFL-Designs shipped them I think the same day that I ordered them and they are here waiting to have lights added to them. Each of the wings will have 500 lights. The plan is to have the wings down at the street level. You will […]
For the past two years there have been 10 arches on the display that ran directly in front of the long building. For 2023 we are going to rebuild all of those arches and create some arches on steroids. There are going to be 3 layers to each of the […]
