RTGS 30 Micro LED String Lights in Warm White Color Review


RTGS_30_LED_Micro_String_Lights.jpg
The RTGS 30 Micro LED String lights in warm white color is perfect for small crafts or projects. It came in a plastic box and this included the black battery compartment box, 30 LED string lights and a remote control.
RTGS_30_LED_Micro_String_Lights.jpg
 The RTGS micro LED string lights consist of 30 grain-sized bulbs in warm white color. The bulb are spaced at 4 inches apart and the entire cord has a total of 10 feet length. There is a 12 inch clear cable connecting the string lights to the battery compartment box which gives this a total of 11 feet cable length.
RTGS_30_LED_Micro_String_Lights.jpg
The black battery compartment box is made of a hard plastic case and it locks in firmly. This needs 3 x AA batteries and isn't included. There is a button on the upper left part which is used to turn on the lights and change through the 3 different functions.

Pressing the button once will turn on the lights and stay on timed mode. Pressing it again will change it to continuous on and pressing it the third time will turn off the light. Using the remote control included will also go through the same light modes.

The timed mode lets the string lights stay on for 6 hours and automatically turn off after that. After 18 hours, it'll automatically turn on again. In this mode, the battery life can last up to 14 days. For the continuous on mode, the battery life can only last up to 48 hours.

Since this works on 3 x AA batteries, this is perfect to use for crafts and projects but I wouldn't use it to decorate our home. The bulbs are bright despite their small, grain-like size. I like that all the bulbs are working and that the cable included has a clear, silver-y color.

We have a small garden in our front porch, about 5 pots with bell peppers, and although it's not big, I looked forward to trying the Hand Trowel by LifeWell Garden Products because I still need a hand trowel to take care of our potted plants. Here is a quick product description from the company:

For the first time, LifeWell Garden Products is releasing its heavy duty rust-free garden trowel for sale separate to its top-rated 3-piece toolset. The trowel is cast from solid polished aluminum, with a shaft that extends all the way up the handle for greater strength as well as improved balance.

The LifeWell Garden Products hand trowel's handle is ergonomically shaped so that I can hold it properly and effectively. It measures approximately 5 inches long.
The green part is made of plastic while the black part is made of rubber. The rubber handle makes it easier for me to have a firm grip on the trowel. There's also a depression on the upper part which makes it easy for me to position my thumb and grip the trowel properly.
The trowel head is made of polished aluminum and has smooth edges. It is shaped in a way that I can dig easier and with less force.

RTGS 60 LED String Lights in Warm White Color Review


RTGS_60_LED_String_Lights.jpg
I recently received the 60 LED String Lights in warm white color from RTGS and I looked forward to trying it. I've tried several products from RTGS already and I like their string lights because they are bright despite the small, grain-sized bulbs.

The 60 LED string lights arrived in a plastic box and the description is printed on the front label. This set is nice because it came with a remote control.
RTGS_60_LED_String_Lights.jpg
The bulbs have a tear drop shape and is as small as a grain of rice. These bulbs are spaced at 4 inches apart and the total length of the cable is 20 feet. The cable/cord has a clear, silver-y color.
RTGS_60_LED_String_Lights.jpg
This works on 6 x AA batteries which is not included. The battery compartment box has a black color and has a snap on lock which keeps the cover in place. The battery compartment box isn't waterproof and is not submersible in water.
RTGS_60_LED_String_Lights.jpg
There is a single button on the upper left part of the battery compartment box. When pushed once, this goes into the timed mode of the lights. In this setting, the lights will stay on for 6 hours and then automatically turn off. It'll stay off for 18 hours and then turn on again after 18 hours. For this setting, batteries are expected to last up to 14 days.

Pushing the button again will change the mode to continuous on. In this setting, the batteries are supposed to last for 48 hours.

Pushing the button the third time will turn the lights off. The remote control can be used to change through the light functions but it should be done in a near range. I noticed that from afar, the remote control wouldn't work.

The RTGS 60 LED String Lights in warm white color is perfect for projects and crafts because it's portable and easy to use. For home use, this isn't practical since it uses batteries to power up.

You can see products from RTGS HERE. You can also purchase this HERE.

RTGS 100 LED String Lights in Cold White Color Review


RTGS_LED_String_Lights.jpg
I've tried a few products from RTGS before and this time, I was sent a 100 LED String Lights in cold white color. I was excited to try this one because it already has a transformer included because one of the pros is that I can use this for our home without having to use batteries.

The RTGS 100 LED String lights arrived in a plastic box. Here is a quick product description from the company:

100 Super Bright Cold White Color LED Lights on 32 Ft Long Silver Ultra Thin Silver Wire with 4 Inches Distance Between LED Bulbs and 10 Ft Clear Cable Between Wire and Transformer. TOTAL STRING LENGTH OVER 42 FEET !!!

Ultra Thin, Bendable but Sturdy Wire with LED Lights is Totally Submersible but NOT TRANSFORMER !!!

Included Custom Made AC to 7.5V DC Transformer (Size: 2 x 2.5 x 0.75 in) that is Very Small, Lite and Clear. THE SMALLEST AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET !!!

Lights Have Over 20 Years of Life Span and Use Fraction of Energy Needed by Regular Light Strings. They are also much brighter than Starry Lights or Fairy Lights.

We offer 100% RTGS Products Satisfaction Guarantee and 2 Years Warranty. RTGS Products is Exclusive Designer, Manufacturer and Seller of Our RTGS Lights.

RTGS_LED_String_Lights.jpg
The RTGS 100 LED String Lights have small, tear-drop shaped, grain-sized LED lights which are bright for their size. The silver cord included makes it look nice and not noticeable. The lights have a 4 inch spacing and the entire cord measures 30 feet in length.
RTGS_LED_String_Lights.jpg
The 7.5V mini transformer can be easily plugged in any socket. This includes a 10 feet silver cable connecting to the transformer aside from the 32 feet of silver cable which holds the bulbs. None of the bulbs have worn out yet and I like that the bulbs have over 32,000 hours of life in them.

This is easy to use and perfect to use for decorating around the house since it powers up with the 7.5V transformer included in the box. It's also perfect for projects and crafts if there is a nearby socket available to plug the transformer in. The lights are bright considering their small size and I like that all lights work properly. There are no other light options for this pack aside from turning it on or off. There are also no buttons to turn the lights on or off and can be done by plugging the transformer in.

This works like it should and perfect to use when there is an electrical socket available and needed to be turned on for longer periods of time.

Multipurpose Waterproof Headlamp From Dark Light Review


Darklight_Waterproof_Headlamp.jpg
Using a headlamp is useful when I need to use both my hands when I'm looking for something or when hubby needs both his hands to fix something. Aside from that, a headlamp is useful when hubby goes biking because a headlamp adds up to the visibility and brightness so that he can see the road better.

When I received the Dark Light's Multipurpose Waterproof Headlamp, I looked forward to trying it. We have already have a headlamp at home but I like to try and compare different headlamps.
Darklight_Waterproof_Headlamp.jpg
Here is a quick product description from the company:

The New Darklight LED Headlamp And Free Gift Flashlight.

     Headlamp - utilizes a powerful 1 Watt Cree LED And 4 red LEDs, combined with 6 different lighting modes.

Harness - Three strap harness system is one size fits most and can be changed out with ease.

Lighting features - The headlamp can be completely submerged in water without affecting operation at any         depth but is not meant for underwater use.  In fact the headlamp has been designed with water safety in mind.   If the headlamp is completely submerged for longer than 5 minutes it will begin an SOS strobe pattern that will   run until it has been dried out.  Turning on the red and white light strobes at the same time will create an attention grabbing emergency strobe that alternates its pattern automatically.  Red and white lights run on independent switches allowing for increased flexibility.

Gift flashlight - Flashlight has a full aluminum body and rubber seal that makes it completely waterproof. Utilizing three CREE LEDs  it is the perfect tool to keep on your key chain

Darklight_Waterproof_Headlamp.jpg
The Waterproof Headlamp by Dark Light works on 3 x AAA batteries which is not included in the box. It has 1 bright white CREE led light and 4 red LED lights.
Darklight_Waterproof_Headlamp.jpg
There are 2 buttons under the lamp which can switch the red LED lights or the white LED light. The red LED lights have 3 different light settings.
Darklight_Waterproof_Headlamp.jpg
The white CREE LED light also has 3 settings. I like that I can simultaneously turn on the red and white LED lights at the same time.
Darklight_Waterproof_Headlamp.jpg
 There is a penlight included which has a keychain.
Darklight_Waterproof_Headlamp.jpg
The batteries are already included on the penlight and I like that I can place this on my bag for emergency purposes.

The Dark Light Headlamp has a stretchable and adjustable head strap, one which goes around the head and another which goes over the head. This is a nice feature because the extra strap which goes over the head make the headlamp stay on the head more effectively. The head strap is also comfortable and not irritating.

The light can also be tilted up to 180 degrees. This is great so that I can just adjust the light and point it at a spot so that I can use both my hands when fixing or looking for something.

The Dark Light Multipurpose Waterproof Headlamp works as it should and can be used in a variety of ways.

Zitrades 200 LED Solar Fairy String Lights Review


When I received the Zitrades 20 LED Solar Fairy String Lights, I was super excited to try it because I've never tried a similar product before. I've tried the solar powered chargers which works really well but this is the first time I'm trying solar powered string lights.

Here is a list of the specifications of the Zitrades Solar Powered Fairy String Lights:
Light color: Muti color
Power: Solar Power
Led qty:200pcs
200LED at 7.5cm spacing
Light modes: 8
Battery:NI-MH battery of 1.2V 1200mAh AA size
Solar panel: 2V 200mA
Switch : Waterproof design
Working temperature: -20 +60
Length of String: 17.5m
Package size: 180x95x80mm
N.W:400g

I placed the solar panel included in our front porch so that it can get enough solar power during the day. This has an included stake so that I can place and position the panel properly.

There are 2 buttons on the back of the panel. One is the power on/off button and the other one is to change the modes of the string light.
The lights included in this set are blue, green, yellow and red.
I left the solar panel turned on. As soon as it became dark, which was about 8 pm, the lights automatically turned on. I love how bright these lights are. I slept past 12 midnight and the lights still kept glowing.
I love that these lights are solar powered and that they work. They hold a minimum of a 4 hour charge and I like how sensitive the solar panel is. I can just leave it turned on and the lights will automatically turn on once it gets dark.

Even for a solar powered string light, the Zitrades Solar Fairy String Lights are bright and works well. I didn't see any non-working bulb which is nice as well. I've been using this daily for more than a month now and all the LED lights are still working.

Waterproof_Mood_Light_Garden_Decoration_Ball.jpg
My daughters had a rubber ducky before which automatically lights up when placed on water. They loved this toy but when the batteries ran out, I don't have any way to replace them because it was sealed. When I received the mood light garden decoration ball, this reminded me of my daughters' rubber ducky but this is meant for decorating, which is nice.

The Waterproof Mood Light Garden Decoration Ball instantly decorate and liven a pond/aquarium/pool/. It has a white light and has only one light mode which is flashing/blinking mode. It automatically turns on once placed on water and turns off once removed from water.

This is waterproof since water doesn't seep inside the battery compartment and bulb. I also like that the batteries are replaceable because I can just replace the battery once the original batteries are used up.

Landscape Laser Light From Quality Source Products Review


AYLGardenLaserLight.jpg
I like to decorate our home during the holidays and although the Garden Laser Light from Quality Source Products is mainly used in the garden, I specifically wanted to use this inside our home.
AYLGardenLaserLight.jpg
ABOUT THE PRODUCT:
  • Heavy Duty Aluminum Housing
  • Weatherproof Electrical Connectors
  • Available in Green, Blue, Red and Green, Red and Green with Movement (Dance Party)
  • Quality Source Guarantee - Love it or Your Money Back
  • 100% Money Back Guarantee For A Risk Free Buying Experience
AYLGardenLaserLight.jpg
The Landscape Laser Light from Quality Source Products came in a nice box with pictures on where to use the lights. There are 3 available colors available: Green, Red and Green, and Blue. The box contained an instruction booklet, the laser light, and a sharp peg stick (for garden purposes).
AYLGardenLaserLight.jpg
To turn it on, I just had to plug it in. It doesn't have an on and off button so having an extension cord with a switch is nice to save me time from plugging and unplugging the laser light.
AYLGardenLaserLight.jpg
The laser lights made our room look really pretty. My daughters described it as "stars" and was so happy when they saw the lights. The more farther I point the laser light, the more scattered the lights seem to be.

The laser lights emits 2 different laser light sizes: big dots and small dots. It's in a cool pattern and it makes the lights prettier.

I like the Quality Source Products Laser Light because it's easy to use and it produces nice, vibrant and colorful laser lights. I just wish there's a remote control for the laser light so that I can turn it on or off automatically.

You can purchase the Quality Source Products Landscape Laser Light HERE with free shipping if you are a Prime member.
