More laser lights coming

I just got this email. It's says it's a TSV pre-order, but the page doesn't mention that at all. Nor does the Insider mention any lasers as TSV's.

Maybe people that didn't get the email can click on this. Sometimes it work, sometimes not.

Are these like the Bliss Lights we've seen before? As I recall, one problem that people reported is that they were stolen from their yards.

I am not going to fall for these new laser lights. I have the red and green Bliss lights. I think I have both for 3 years now. The red still seems as vibrant as the first time it was turned on but the green is dimming and it will be a matter of time before it doesn't light at all. They were in the $200 range too when they first came out. I get suckered into getting all these types of projectors with the lasers or scenes and they either don't work well or have a very short life.

Looks like bugs crawling all over the house. Is this supposed to be attractive?

@Kachina624 Only if you're a hungry spider.

@ValuSkr

The only difference I could tell was that this one offers 2 colors in one "light", and it has 7 different motions.

From being stolen, to destroyed by hoodlums seems to be a trend among outdoor decorations. It's got me to where I don't want to spend time or money on decorating nowadays. Growing up in wanted to be like Clark Griswold, now I'd rather just admire lights as I ride through town.

I live in a neighborhood with narrow lots. The houses are too close together to use these types of lights without intruding on your neighbors. Transom windows would make it impossible to block out all the dancing dots. I would go crazy. Thankfully my neighbors have shown mercy.

Eta: the price has really fallen on these laser lights, so I expect more folks will be buying. It will be like living inside a disco ball.

Many neighborhoods in our area had their lights stolen or broken.....

Personally I don't get the draw of these things. To me its not enhancing holiday anything, just looks cheap. Just me only, I don't understand how these are popular.

I have a Star Shower projector that I purchased at BBB last year, and I've only used it for parties. I plug it in on my second floor and hang it out the window so it projects onto the enormous tree that hangs over my back patio. It looks beautiful on the leaves of the tree and has a stunning effect when the wind blows through it. I would never use it on my house as I know it would probably get stolen by neighborhood kids, and I don't think it looks very attractive on houses. On trees, the woods, swimming pools and nightlcubs, yes, but I think shining it on houses is a fad that will fade and will eventually be made fun of on one of those VH1-type "I love the 80's" shows where comedians sit around and make fun of the trends throughout the decades.

@RazorSharp I agree re shining it on the landscape rather than the house. If you can believe this, I bought the green years ago when it was first presented, and due to the remodeling project that soon followed, to this day I still have not even opened it, but I plan to soon.

I have used the Bliss lights for the past two years and for me it was about ease of decorating. I received many compliments - especially the first year when they were more of a novelty. I use the red and green and then put out some of the Lori Grenier trees and it is simple, but looks really nice. I did buy one of the Star Shower units last year for my Mom's house and it worked fine - it was around $40 and seems very similar to these TSV units. I agree, you have to be courteous to your neighbors and place them carefully. It's amazing how much they have come down in price! Hopefully they won't be such a target for thieves now that they aren't as pricey.
