To control the lights on the installations, follow these simple steps:
1. Scan the QR code* to control the festive décor
2. Select the light colour of your choice
3. Select from “Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti” tunes to make the lights dance and snap your best light artwork!
4. To make the lights dance, choose a Christmas tune from the provided list, then dance to the music!
