 Zimmerman
House on Balboa Island
In
2006, this is the first house in Newport Beach
to use a personal computer to synchronize the
lights to dance with the music! Ten songs are
programmed (including "Jingle Bell Rock", "All
I Want For Christmas Is You", "Sleigh Ride", etc.),
to create a fantastic light show with the lights
twinkling, shimmering, and dimming, to the songs.
The house is anchored on one side by an eye-stopping
25 foot green blinking Christmas tree. On the
other side the eight foot wide chimney is draped
in a carpet of red lights inter-mixed with white
lights that vertically spell "Balboa Island".
Blinking candy canes, stockings, bells, and snowflakes
all add to the fun. There are 24,000 light bulbs
in all.
