Dance of The Lights

One of our Retail Partners is staging a light show named 'Dance of The Light'. It is brought to you each evening courtesy of Canal Towne Emporium & Wurtsboro Electric Service. If you can take time to be on location, you will be glad you are there. When the show is over, you probably want to visit the store. Of course, if you get there before the show starts, you might have a great time looking over the vast variety of gifts and products they carry. You can even find our candles on display. If you do not find them or if there is a scent/fragrance you are looking for, ask for help from the store associates. They will be happy to help you. By the way, the candles we make are under Canal Towne Emporium's private brand name.

Here are some information about the show you might be interested.

o Approximately 150 hours of programming was required to synchronize the lights with the music and songs selected for the show.

o More than 200 man hours were expended to string the lights around the building. Lights were hung starting in October.

o In order to enhance the show's effect, it was necessary to re-wire many of the lights inside the store so that the computer could shut them down automatically before the show begins each evening. Wurtsboro Electric employees worked from August to October to complete this behind-the-scenes task.

o Total power consumption of the more than 7,000 lights used in the show is 3,360 watts. However, Canal Towne Emporium doesn't anticipate a high electric bill since all of the lights are rarely on at the same time.

o A quadrophonic sound system was installed on the building to project the music loud enough for visitors to enjoy, but not so loud as to distrub the neighborhood.

o Each string of lights used in the show must be individually controlled by the computer. To accomplish this, over 4,600 feet of extension cord was required to connect the light strings to three separate lighting controllers.

o During the show, the computer 'talks' to the lighting controllers via a high-speed network to coordinate the music with the 48 separate lighting circuits that comprise the show.

Canal Towne Emporium is located at
107 Sullivan Street,
Wurtsboro, NY 12790

Hope you enjoy the show.
