As November unfolds and Christmas approaches, many households face the annual challenge of decorating their homes with festive lights. Traditional methods often involve precarious ladder work and hours of untangling wires. However, one journalist has discovered a revolutionary solution that eliminates these hassles completely.
The Game-Changing Christmas Projector
Samuel Jones recently tested the Telebrands Star Shower LED Christmas Slideshow Projector, available for £45 at Yimbly, a shopping website owned by Reach plc. Using the discount code AUTUMN10 reduces the price to £40.50. Initially sceptical after disappointing experiences with similar products, Jones was pleasantly surprised by its performance.
The projector features six Christmas-themed slides including snowflakes, Santa, reindeer, presents, and Christmas trees. These patterns swirl dynamically when activated, with a remote control allowing adjustments to movement speed and blinking effects.
Impressive Performance and Easy Setup
Setup proved remarkably simple - just screw the stake to the projector, attach the wire, select your preferred slide, and you're ready to transform your home. The device projects vibrant, full-colour images up to 30 feet away, covering approximately 625 square feet with crystal-clear patterns.
The most significant advantage is eliminating ladder work. Instead of spending hours fixing lights to guttering, the same festive effect can be achieved in minutes. The weather-resistant design withstands outdoor elements, while energy-efficient LED bulbs and auto switch-off functions (4, 8, or 12 hours) make it economical to run.
Family Approval and Practical Considerations
The projector's biggest fan turned out to be Jones's 15-month-old son, Teddy, who became mesmerised by the ceiling projections, repeatedly pointing and shouting "star!" despite them actually being snowflakes.
However, the product isn't without limitations. The 5-metre cable requires proximity to a power outlet, which might challenge some garden layouts. Additionally, nearby streetlights can slightly diminish the projection's impact in well-lit areas.
Alternative Options Available
For those on a tighter budget, the Coollamp Christmas Snowflake Projector at £25.49 on Amazon offers dual heads projecting dynamic snowflake patterns up to 12 metres. Argos also stocks the Home LED Christmas Interchangeable Projector for £25, suitable for indoor and outdoor use with a 4-star customer rating.
The Telebrands projector is also available at HighStreetTV for £39.99 and Amazon for £49.99, providing multiple purchasing options for this innovative Christmas decorating solution.
