UD Christmas light display gets 22,500 views on YouTube
A University of Dayton student’s elaborate Christmas light display is a big hit on YouTube.
“Jonathon’s Christmas Lights 2009 — I Gotta Feeling” had nearly 22,500 views on the popular video sharing Web site as of Thursday, Dec. 17.
The video by UD student Jonathon Reinhart shows his light display at 202 Lawnview in the South Campus neighborhood. Reinhart, an electrical engineering major, choreographed his display to the Black Eyed Peas’ hit, “I Gotta Feeling,” in addition to several other songs.
The display features a “UD” in lights that flash red and blue, the school colors.
Unfortunately, Wednesday, Dec. 16, was the final night for Reinhart’s display because UD students are now heading home for Christmas break. However, you can still enjoy the video:

Reinhart’s display also features lights flashing in sync to songs that include “Carol of the Bells,” “Siberian Sleigh Ride” and “Wizards in Winter.”
Reinhart and friends spent about 110 hours on the display, from building and wiring the controller to stringing the lights and “re-installing windows,” according to his blog, “Lights on the Five.”
Videos of all of the songs from this year’s display are available on Reinhart’s blog. To view the videos or learn more about how the display was created, click here.
