Like so many other extreme hobbyister, started Bjarne Hansen in the very small.
– It started nine years ago, where I had a sleigh with a light on my shed. So I thought my neighbor that he wanted to make a light box, which said ‘merry christmas’ and put on his shed.

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.
There is no shortage of passers-by, while the Extra Leaf is on a visit with Bjarne Hansen. The lighted houses works almost like a fartbump, for all the cars slow down, while they are rolling over.

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.

– I also make sure to try to repair, the things that go into pieces instead of just buying new . If you have a good time, as I have, you can stand and socialize with to make it out in the shed, he says.
When you spend about 200 hours to put his christmas lights up, come to, without doubt, to meet her neighbours and people in the neighbourhood.

– I would like to have the current LED lights. It, you can program to do everything differently. I even try to fix it, but it went a bit wrong this year, so I had to throw some of it out, says Bjarne Hansen.
If you do not reach past the Ryttergårdsvej in Farum in the year, can enjoy the 10-year anniversary of the oppyntningen next year, where there is likely to be even more light.
