Like so many other extreme hobbyister, started Bjarne Hansen in the very small.

from there it took off.

- Next year we agreed to start in november. We have created the tradition that we invite our families to the first advent each year, where we turn on the lights, he says.

But it is mainly the walking of the audience, which warms the Bjarne and the wife in the cold winter time.

- We enjoy of course, that people like the bright lights. The other day the bell rang on the front door, and there stood a mother and her two children. They were very excited about the exhibition and gave us a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates as a thank you.

- Other years we have gotten letters in the mailbox, which, of course, we have saved, say lysentusiasten.

But the stunning sight that greets passers-by on the Ryttergårdsvej, is neither free in the pockets or in the klimeregnskabet. Therefore, makes Bjarne Hansen is also an effort to ride on the green wave.

- We consider that there is a green omstillingsbølge. To be a little greener, we keep it for the LED light. When we have the christmas lights turned on from 1. advent to 6. January we use about 30 dollars a day on power.
