Kathleen and I moved to a ranch house in Newtown, PA in July. We were in The Home Depot in Fairless Hills the other day looking at outdoor Christmas lights for our house. It occurred to us that we could string lights all the way from one end of our house to the other at the height of the gutters-- something we've never tried before. (We haven't lived in a one-story detached house since we've been married.)

The only problem with this is that the front of the house is about 60 feet long. It will take me a while to put up that many lights. I'm also not sure we can find light strands that will extend all the way across the front of our house from the outdoor electrical sockets without drawing more power than recommended.

I was looking around the Internet for an alternative and found this Light Flurries Projector from Smarthome on sale at Amazon.com. This is a light kit that you place in the yard in front of your house. It contains a spot light and a rotating mirror ball in weather-resistant packaging. The Light Flurries Projector will throw a pattern of light that looks like falling snow on any wall you point it at. The pattern is up to 60 feet high and 40 feet wide, perfect for the front of our house.

The manufacturer says that set-up time is less than 10 minutes. Instructions walk you through the steps to create the pattern and speed of snow fall that you desire. It sounds like a good alternative to stringing lights on a large house, or a nice complement to other Christmas and Hannukah light displays. [ via PopGadget ]
