Here are some of the most frequently asked questions from our customers about BlissLights Spright Smart Firefly Light.

Q: How do BlissLights® work?
A: BlissLights are simple-to-use indoor/outdoor lighting projectors that create an explosion of pinpoints of intensely bright light which move on unique far-reaching trajectories --and they're low voltage! Each projector incorporates laser and optical elements to create a breathtaking lighting effect much like thousands of fireflies on trees and landscape plants or hedges. Under canopies, gazebos, and overhangs, they point upward to create a mesmerizing universe of stars.

BlissLights are designed for both commercial and homeowner applications. They're also used to help illuminate hard-to-light areas and create unique, never-before-seen lighting experiences which are sure to impress! Amaze family and friends by transforming your home or outdoor living space into a magical starry experience within minutes. Just choose your location, plug in the light, and point at a favorite focal point in your outdoor living space. It's fun to experiment with every aspect of the home landscape, and since it comes with an AC adaptor you can quickly and easily change the location of the light to suit your mood.

Q: How do I get the most WOW from my BlissLights?
A: BlissLights are best suited for dark outdoor areas you'd love to transform without the cost, time, and effort of purchasing light strands and wrapping/hanging lights from a ladder. Plus you don't have to worry about changing burned out light bulbs or replacing dead light strands. The holographic chamber of the BlissLight creates an explosion of vibrant light points from a single device. Ambient light from streetlights, security lighting, and other prelit decorations can, however, diminish the eye-popping effects that the BlissLight creates.

Q: How can ambient light subdue the intensity of BlissLight effects?
A: For best results in an area with ambient light you can't control, such as streetlights, choose a primary focal point feature in your landscape, such as a large tree or shrub with leaves or an evergreen, by staking the BlissLight in the ground near the plant base pointing the head upward--use the Allen wrench provided to loosen and re-tighten position of projector head. It's best to experiment before settling on a location--sometimes a foot or two away from the base gives more coverage for larger trees. The slightest breeze will create a mesmerizing and soothing firefly effect as the leaves gently rustle.

For best results in areas where you can control the ambient light, all you need to do is experiment with selected lights turned off to see how it alters the effect you are looking for.

Q: What's the coverage area of a single BlissLight?
A: BlissLights are a great way to cover the entrance or landscape and walls of your home for parties and/or holiday decor. The coverage area of one fixture from a distance of 20' is up to 50' x 50'-- that's 2,500 square feet! If you want to dazzle the front of your home, depending on its size, you'll likely need at least two fixtures for optimum effect.

Q: How are BlissLights different?
A: BlissLights are a unique innovation. The closer to your target, the denser the light cluster will appear, which is great for targeting focal points you want to highlight in the landscape. As you increase the distance between the fixture and a broader target point (e.g. a front section of your home) the cluster of lights will expand but the intensity of the light points never diminishes. So it's always good to experiment with distance and angle of the projector before staking it in the ground and tightening the head into the position you like best.

Additionally, BlissLights were designed to create a magical yet elegant scene. The idea is to create an amazing environment for you to enjoy and wow your guests without lighting up the neighborhood.

Q: What color choices are available?
A: BlissLights are available in your choice of green, blue, or red starfields. Green creates an amazing firefly effect on trees, landscape, and jewel-like pinpoints of light on all background surfaces regardless of texture or color. Blue projection also works well on landscape greenery and creates a starry night effect on walls and ceilings. Red projection works best on light-colored backgrounds such as light stucco, siding, concrete, etc. It's also fun to experiment with combinations of BlissLight colors. Green and blue work well together for holiday displays and also year-round outdoor effects in landscape, around the deck/pool/patio, and under-lighting trees. Green, blue, and red combined together create a festive confetti of light great for parties, holidays, and year-round celebrations. Green and red look great for holiday displays alone or with existing prelit decor. Red and/or blue add drama to Halloween decor or use them together with white accent floodlights for stunning patriotic displays

Q: Why aren't BlissLights available in white?
A: White lasers don't exist at this time and it was found that the green laser is the best choice for year-round use on landscape foliage, patio areas, etc. because its appearance in use on greenery renders its color irrelevant. You'll hear, "wow," or "how did you do that?
" instead of, "why is it green?
" You can accent trees, hedge rows, porticos, patios, decks, outdoor entertaining areas, and under gazebos/canopies year round.

Q: Can BlissLights be used with an outdoor timer?
A: Yes, your purchase includes a 6/18 timer you may choose to use, or you can manually plug in/unplug the power cord--the choice is yours.
