We had a holiday decorating contest here at Woodland Manufacturing. We are a custom manufacturer, but we were not allowed to make any decorations with our machines so we don’t interfere with our holiday rush of orders. The Ecommerce and Application Development team share a space so we came up with a Stranger Things theme. Stranger Things is a popular Sci-Fi show on Netflix, and a character uses Christmas lights to communicate with her lost son.

Since the developers were involved, we got some addressable lights and we’re going to show you how to make the famous alphabet light wall from Stranger Things.
