Above Ground Pool Alarm by PoolGuard Review

Above Ground Pool Alarm by PoolGuard
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The POOLALARM The Pool Alarm does not work. It alarms and does not stop and will not sync with the indoor unit. Purchased from LML Defense through RCNO Distributor and they have not returned phone calls or e-mails. This is not the same model as the one Consumer Reports rates high.

The NEW MODEL PGRM-2 introduces "NEGATIVE DISPLACEMENT TECHNOLOGY", a new sensing method that requires no adjustments. Entry into the pool by children, pets, or intruders is detected by the unit's electronic sensor, and sets off a loud, pulsating alarm both in the home and at the pool. Safe, simple, and easy to operate, the 9-volt battery powered alarm does not require tie-downs, ropes, or wires. Poolguard comes with a remote receiver which sounds an alarm inside the home when the unit is activated at the pool. The Poolguard alarm system can be used with a solar blanket on the pool. Poolguard comes with a limited three year warranty. Meets all ASTM safety standards for pool alarms: ASTM-PS 128-01Meets ASTM Standards. Works with pool up to 20' x 40' 800 sq. ft. Pools larger than this...should use 2 alarms.

As Seen on TV "Stick Up Bulb" Review

As Seen on TV Stick Up Bulb

This looks like a good idea from Westinghouse, but if you read the warranty details, the krypton bulb is not covered under the 10-year warranty. $10.00 for a bulb that is warranted for 10 years - but not really? What is the point? Extra tape isn't even included when the first strip fails.
I suggest you use a flashlight.

Stick Up Bulb is the amazing wireless light bulb that installs anywhere, requires no wiring or an electrician to install and provides lighting whenever you need it. Just peel and stick the base then slide in this revolutionary light bulb. That's all you have to do to light up your closets, stairwells, and anywhere that you need light. Use it outdoors in your shed or under your patio umbrella to provide lighting during the evening. It's also portable, just slide the bulb out of its base, so it's great whenever you need to carry light, such as in a power outage.

Yep folks...it's a light bulb. And as far as light bulbs go, this one does in fact light up. I would love to give this review 5 stars, but sadly I cannot. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled that this thing shines like crazy. But the picture shows 2 bulbs and it only ships with one. Okay, fine, you got me...the description says "1 Pack", but like most other lazy Americans, I see a picture and grunt with approval. In this case, I grunted twice since the photo shows 2 bulbs.
When the package arrived, I breathlessly anticipated the joy I would have with me and my two light bulbs dancing through the streets together. As I unpacked the oversized Amazon box and rooted through the mounds of bubble wrap, the excitement in the room could be cut with a knife. My glee turned to sorrow as I realized the that there was too much of not enough bulb. Whomever perpetrated this cruel trick on humanity should be reported to the authorities, given the destruction of the 'kid on Christmas morning feeling' that I had when the package arrived.

Light Keeper PRO 01201 The Complete Tool for Fixing Miniature Light Sets Review

Light Keeper PRO 01201 The Complete Tool for Fixing Miniature Light Sets
Average Reviews:

This item is more expensive than others in its category, but it works great! I was able to fix multiple strings of lights in a matter of minutes instead of getting frustrated and throwing them out like I used to. I liked it so much I bought one for 2 of my family members as well. Just take one of the lights out of the dead string, and plug the empty socket into a receptacle on the front of the device. Pull the trigger about 10-15 times and all of the working lights light up making it easy to identify and replace the dead ones. After trying 2 other similar devices that did not work at all, this was a great find and I highly recommend it.

A Cool Yule Tool. Fix holiday lights with a squeeze of a trigger. The Light Keeper PRO is the complete tool for fixing miniature light sets! A must for Christmas time. This all-in-one tool fixes most light sets in seconds by addressing the damaged bulb at the plug or at the socket. The LED Head Light helps visibility in light repair. The Audible Continuity Detector traces the circuit to the point of interruption. The 3-way bulb puller helps release tight bulbs from their sockets. The Bulb & Fuse Tester tests both indoor and outdoor mini lights. There is a spare bulb compartment in the handle for storage of extra bulbs and fuses. Three (3) 1.5-Volt Batteries are included. Patent pending. The trigger send a pulse that will activate a defective shunt; This fixes the circuit allowing the current to flow. Simply plug your Light Keeper PRO into the light set, pull the trigger and a pulse goes to the bulb, fixes the shunt and allows the light set to work correctly. The light keeper pro is not intended with led, rope or light set/sets with control boxes.

PPA OLSHARGB Home Accent Multicolor LED Lighting Kit Review

PPA OLSHARGB Home Accent Multicolor LED Lighting Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a "starter kit" from "Parts, Peripherals & Accessories International" (PPA Int), the computer accessory company.
Called a 'Starter kit' because it contains a 120v AC to 12v 2amp DC power supply & IR control unit with remote but only two one foot sections of multi-color LEDs, nine LEDs per section.
Easy to install and you can add more one foot sections or even 5,10 & 20 foot rolls. (available separately)
Looks like a maximum limit of 36 feet of LEDs for each 2amp power unit/controller/remote.
You can also buy items like a "Y" connector so that you don't have to run all lights in a straight row.
Also available are four pin connectors, 12v extension cords etc.
See the whole PPA International product listing on Amazon for prices and details.
This kit comes with one male to male connector so you can attach one strip to the other. The strips have female connectors on both ends so that you can either plug in the 12v power cord, or the connector that allows more LED strips.
The male pins are very small diameter so be careful not to bend them while handling.
The LED strips can be curved to some extent, in case you have use for it, or if the surface you are sticking them to is not perfectly flat.
I found these pretty bright on the high setting, but that depends on what other light is in the room I'd say,still I can't look right at them without discomfort. In a totally dark room, you can read by the white setting and even with some of the lighter colors.
Remote is good size (see my photo) and has every control needed to turn on/off, dim, change colors, or make the LEDs do automatic "light show" type things. Flashing, dimming etc.
Looking at the specs printed on the power supply I see that it has 12V DC output, also very happy to see that the power supply module was separate from the control unit, using a round plug to attach to the rest of the system.
I do believe this will also make a fun addition to our camper... this system uses 1(dim)to 5(bright)watts PER FOOT, so should not be a problem plugged into a 12V-120V power converter, or running directly off of a 12V battery if I make a new plug to attach to battery or cigar lighter socket.
Might also explore using some of these strips under the overhang on each step of our stairs to light the stairway to the second floor, even on the dim setting they should be plenty bright enough to do that. Although I would NOT suggest using any of the special "Effects" features on stairs, could cause serious vertigo and a fall.
I can see several areas to use this type lighting since it has remote control.
Power supply cord is 34 inches long
The cord on one side of the controller is 12 inches with the one on the other side being 12 inches, control box is 2 inches long for a total reach of 2 foot 2 inches, not counting the 34 inch cord from the power supply.
One thing to note if it matters to you... the "white" light setting is made with the combo of other colors so it's not pure white and has a color tint to it when in use. Nothing bad, just that it's not white white.
They do sell a lower cost white LED version that has white LEDs.
Also, the small diameter connector pins fit rather loosely so I suggest you wrap a single layer of electrical tape around the outside of plugs when you have them the way you want them.
Product is manufactured in China and is being sold by "PPA International"
Please see my uploaded photos for more details.
