FAQ

Q: Do you help your parents do this? 

A: Not really, other than (some) of the money, and motivation. I do it all and a behind the scenes video is coming soon.

Q: Do you do it at your own house?

A: Yes, and I don't exactly like showing off my address on the internet but I kind of have to if I want people to see my work.

Q: When I went to see the lights, all the windows were dark, are you ever home?

A: Most of the time I am home, but if you have questions or want to meet in person email jonah@jonahlights.com first.

Q: How much is this all worth?

A: I estimate that it costs around 3 to 5 thousand dollars for everything. It is an expensive hobby. 

Q: How much is your power bill?

A: The lights and controllers are much more expensive, but the bill does go up by around 40 to 50 dollars. Not too much in the grand scheme of things. 

Q: Where and how did you learn how to do this?

A: I saw a video of a show like this online when I was seven and said I could do that. So, in 6th grade I started planning a light show then the next year in 7th grade I pulled it off. It has grown every year so far. 

Q: Are the lights programmed automatically or is it all handmade?

A: The sequences are all made by hand. I could just buy premade ones online, but the show is far more personalized because I made the sequence myself.

Q: How many cars go by?

A: Not enough in my opinion, my friend and I are working on a program that will count the number of cars that stop and watch the show. That count will be displayed on this site. (hopefully)
