Ready to start a show with TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS LIGHTS using a SHOWTIME DIRECTOR + SD CARD as the brains of the operation telling the lights when to play your sequences? Check out the starter items on this page! We've got lots of advanced options when you're ready, but these packages are a great way to start your first show. Learn about the basics of how our system connects and expands by watching this 5 minute video.

The Showtime Central Starter Packages give you all of the hardware/software you need to start a show with 16, 32, 48, or 64 different props, AND includes a Showtime Director/FM Transmitter combo in a weatherproof enclosure. Want to control more traditional lights? Add more Residential Series - CTB16PC - ReadyToGo controllers to your cart (the starter packages come with one, two, three, or four as a dropdown option).

Bonus: Add a Flood Light Package to add a pop of color to your show with our easy-to-use CMB24D Controller and 10W floods!

TSO vs Standard: Which one do you pick? The only difference between these two packages is that the TSO package includes a pre-loaded SD card that has 44 minutes of Trans Siberian Orchestra music and effects for the controllers in that package. You can edit this playlist and add more songs to this SD card using our software. If you DON'T want the TSO playlist, purchase the Standard Showtime Central Package and choose one of the other DELUXE LAYOUT SD cards on this page (click on each to see the playlist), shop for TRADITIONAL LAYOUT sequences in our sequence store, or use our software to pick custom music and dream up effects on your own, then load them on to the SD card.
