Bring some light into your life with Tree Effects Tabletop Light Show Tree

Tree Effects Tabletop Light Show Tree
Don’t have room in your studio apartment for a Christmas tree? This year, you have nothing to fear — that is, if you have a Tree Effects Tabletop Light Show Tree. Sure, it is something of a mouthful but the product makes up for its loquacious name with a whole host of features, including 50 full-color effects, changeable light caps, and a remote control.

Promising to be the “ultimate tabletop tree” perfect for city dwellers who either don’t have room for a full fir (or simply don’t want to deal with that mess), this little bundle of joy can light up an apartment, office, or just your room not only during the holidays, but whenever you need a little sparkle in your life.

Whereas most traditional pre-lit trees have just a few options when it comes to lighting (which is to say, all on or all off), Tree Effects differentiates itself by allowing you to control each and every LED independently. And to keep you from having to fiddle around with a lot of complicated controls, Tree Effects promises that you can control everything and put on a light show with a remote.

Thanks to the tree’s full-spectrum LEDs, you have access to “millions of vivid colors,” the team promises on its Kickstarter page. When various holidays roll around, you can also change out the pixel caps so that your tree can be adorned with snowflakes, pumpkins, stars, or something else altogether. As the project raises more and more money, the team hopes to add more of these pixel caps.

With two and a half weeks left in the Kickstarter campaign, Tree Effects has already raised more than $11,000 and you can get your own tabletop tree in time for Halloween for $49.

Why you should buy the Roku Smart Home Indoor Camera SE 2-pack
Roku doesn’t feature in our look at the best home security cameras but don’t let that put you off. It has everything you could need from inexpensive indoor security cameras. Each camera enables you to see an entire area with 1080p HD picture in full colour. That includes at night, all via the Roku Smart Home app. It’s possible to set specific motion detection zones so you can cut down on false alerts while the camera can detect motion or sound with smart sensors even detecting body heat so you won’t see them be activated by something like a curtain moving in the wind.

Anker SOLIX X1 offers effective solar power storage for your home backup
Anker SOLIX X1 solar battery storage outside with family nearby

A major challenge of solar power as a primary energy source is that, as abundant as it is, it's not always available. Solar systems do not generate energy at night, obviously, but energy production is reduced during overcast, dark, or stormy days. Moreover, other factors can affect energy production, like the cleanliness or condition of the solar panels and the amount of sunlight they get during the day -- which can be influenced by the sun's location in the sky or where the panels are installed -- and much more. It simply means that to use solar energy systems effectively, you need some kind of storage device to preserve energy for use during the off-hours. While several products on the market do this, the X1 from Anker SOLIX is one of the most intriguing and powerful solar energy storage systems we’ve seen.
