In this video, I show you how to deck out your home with lights that flash to the beat of your favorite holiday music. A solid state relay, pair of speakers, and some loose wire were used to power this project. The relay acts as a switch and connects your lights to power whenever the speaker voltage goes above a certain threshold. This DIY project is super easy to build and only took me about 45 min to make. I look forward to seeing what everyone does with it!

Warning: Make sure to handle wires carefully because this project uses 120v/240v AC power.
