You can control all your other connected home security devices remotely why not your Holiday lights?

Setup

The unit comes with a clever little stand that you can use as a single stake or expand the extra legs into a tripod shape. The stand is much lighter and thinner than I thought while the LED projector lamp is a bit larger than I thought. It’s somewhat top heavy but it seems to adequately maintain position through the combination of the angled neck and ball joint.

Simply insert the ball joint end of the tripod/stake into fastener/bolt and then into the receptacle under the Points Of Light and screw the fastener/bolt down. The tightener screw doesn’t seem to do as much as I would like but again using the angled neck to your advantage you can still achieve the best projection angle you need for your installation location.

You can use the stand spike style and stake it down in the ground or open up the legs for tripod stance. While the combination spike and tripod stand design is unique the lightweight plastic seems a bit delicate and a leg could easily be broken, especially indoors if someone steps on it.

Update: The tripod/stake combo stand is relatively weak. The concept is cool but in practice the well made projection housing is just too heavy for it. The ball joint neck is almost worthless as the tightening screw is just not engineered properly for any grip. You can screw it on as tight as it goes and it won’t hold the neck in position very well. For such as well made projection unit, a sturdy base would have been much appreciated, or even a second stand for indoors.

The tripod, you’ll just need to be super careful with it and it will work. The neck and connection point, you may want to invest in some teflon tape, not too much but just enough to increase the width so the tightening screw will be able to hold the ball joint sufficiently.

Just plug it in and use the remote to change the colors and patterns. The Points Of Light Deluxe lightshow projection will work best against a flat wall or surface.

Holiday Lighting that sets up easy and tears down just as easily.

The remote is much more slender and petite than it appears and runs off of a supplied CR2032 battery. The controls are basic; on/off, color change, pattern change, static/movement buttons. On the bottom of the unit is the battery compartment. The remote works very well for us, the change action is pretty immediate. The manual suggests to wait 2 seconds after each change before changing the selection for longevity.
