i wouldnt to have a guess at some of it is new like the christmas trees in white, the leaping arch and holly and stocking on the catenary but the rest of the spot lights have been purchased as each year has been lit up. id reckon on a guess thats it cost me approx 2-3 grand to do including all the computer control system
