REVIEW – I remember seeing an LED sign for the first time. It was monochrome, red, and only displayed text. It was crude by today’s standards, but it was glorious for a guy who loves lights. I’m sure the cost was a great big ‘ole bag-o-cash. A few decades later, it was shock and awe

REVIEW – I remodeled my bathroom a few years ago and replaced the light over the vanity. Even with an exhaust fan, rust formed on its metal body much more quickly than anticipated. It wasn’t lovely and needed a contemporary replacement. Quntis offered one of their dimmable, color-temperature adjustable, four-globe lamps for review, and I

REVIEW – A galaxy or star projector has been on our wishlist for a while, as we have a toddler rapidly approaching the age where he’ll probably want a nightlight and/or be interested in the stars and planets.

REVIEW – Several years ago, I strung together lights along my backyard fence with varying results. One strand wasn’t really for outdoor use and failed.
