Starry Christmas Laser Lights (Blue & Green)



Available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Landscape-Projector-Waterproof-Decoration/dp/B01JI9CO8Y/ref=lp_15774645011_1_4?srs=15774645011&ie=UTF8&qid=1478667050&sr=8-4&th=1

VIDEO CONTENTS:
1) Demonstration
2) What's Included
3) Overview/About the Laser Lights
4) Conclusion

WHAT’S INCLUDED?
1 Laser light
1 Ground Stake
1 Instruction Manual


ABOUT THE STARRY LASER LIGHT:
o Several color options (red, blue, and or green in 2 color options).
o Covers 3900 square feet
o The life of the laser is stated to last 8,000 hours

PROS:
+ Simple, convenient, and safe (no ladders) to set up
+ Saves a lot of time if used to replace string lights
+ Unique and modern way of lighting up your home
+ Covers a large area (I recommend one every 40 feet)
+ Uses less power than traditional Christmas lights
+ A bit brighter than the “As Seen On TV “laser light (the blue is a bit brighter to the human eye than the red as well)
+ 8,000 hour laser light life span is equivalent to more expensive laser lights

CONS:
- Plastic Stake- Not as bright as string lights
- Not advisable to use with lighting such as landscape lighting
- Unfortunately, these lights are more likely to be stolen than a $3 string of lights
- No round base in the event you want a base/stand for using indoors
- Unknown warranty

MY REVIEW:
Personally, I think these lights would fit the bill for a number of people, so long as those people don't expect the laser lights to be as bright as traditional Christmas lights. Two or three of these cover the front of my house. If you live in a neighborhood, you won't see these lights from the other end of the street like you could with traditional lights. As you get closer to your house, though, you will see them. The laser lights might be slightly visible with ambient light, but it is highly recommended to use these in a dark environment. I think the blue is a bit more visible than red. The green appears the brightest color of Red, Blue and Green (even though they are all technically the same brightness, the human eye picks up green best). The concentration and brightness of laser lights depends on how close or far you place the light away. I'd say 10 yards is best for my application.

CONCLUSION:
I haven't had the chance to use these over many seasons, but I like these lights so far. I like traditional lights best, but these laser lights are certainly interesting in that they cover a big area. These are SO much easier to hook up too. The downside is that the lights aren't quite as bright as those traditional lights.

SENWOW 12MP 1080P HD Game and Trail Hunting Camera


Available for sale at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GFQZGU6

BACKGROUND:
I have several other trail camera brands including Stealth Cam, Moultrie, Covert, Primos, Browning, TEC.BEAN, Crenova, and SEEWORLD/Outdoortop, Distianart, Bestguarder, and now this camera. The day time pictures with all of these brands are adequate or better for hunting and scouting purposes (though some are slightly better). What separates a camera in my eyes is trigger time, quality night pictures, recovery time, battery life, strap connecting to the tree, ease of setup, pictures of an object in motion, LCD menu screen, and durability. I’ve been using trail cams since about 2009, mainly with pictures. My choice in taking pictures or videos depends on the setup/situation. I don’t do time lapse. It’s just not something that’s useful for my hunting/scouting purposes.

Steel Door Stopper with Extra-Strong Suction Cup




Available for sale at the following link: Steel Door Stopper

BACKGROUND:
I ordered this door stopper for my auto-closing entrance door from the garage. It can be a pain to going in and out of the house with hands full of groceries or bringing in a baby car seat. This door stopper was needed so I wouldn't have to push the door open then try to run through before it closes.

Family Traditions!

As some of you may know, I have a 6-month old daughter. It had me thinking the other day of the family traditions we had for holidays or during the year. Every kid remembers Christmas and all the chaos, presents, food and other things that brought.

However, my favorite family tradition besides Christmas was going to my great aunt's house every Saturday to eat lunch. She was a great cook. My mother (bless her heart) was not a very good cook. She was a great baker of breads, pies, etc, but she struggled in the kitchen otherwise. I have many stories about that, but I want to focus on family traditions. Meeting every Saturday with my cousins, uncles, aunts and my great aunt was my favorite and most memorable childhood tradition.

What is/was your favorite family tradition now or as a child (please leave your comment below)?
