Before I introduce our new products I think it is important to explain to everyone how I work things. I run these events away from a dedicated forum so I am not stuck with their rules. I don't think people should be stuck with the silly ideas of one. I do not sell these lights for a profit. In fact, all prices are rounded to the nearest cent, so I actually only make a few pennies on each light that is sold. I do this for the fun and the enjoyment of all parties involved. For those of you that have purchased from me before, this year you will see things are a little different. Demand for the lights last year was incredible and I certainly could have never imagined how popular they would have been. All that paperwork on my end really was a headache so over the winter I upgraded my site with a store front. Now you can create an account, track your orders and contact me easily all from a simple to use webpage. I also have a database supporting the site so I can keep track of who agrees to the terms and conditions. All of this makes things much easier for you, as well as me. http://www.christmasonmanor.com/store
Now, enough of the house keeping, let’s get into the good stuff! At the end of last year we sent out a survey to get your feelings on the lights. Thank you to all of those who participated. The good news is, WE LISTENED! Hopefully the changes we made to our existing lights and the new lights we are introducing really meet your expectations as they have met mine!
Our 2010 Product Line:
Blizzard 9, Blizzard 12, Blizzard 20: Last year we revolutionized the industry by introducing the first ever Do-It-Yourself friendly LED snowfall tube. The main drawback was that we only had one size. This year we are introducing a 9" version, featuring 3mm LEDs and a 20" version! Now you can really impress the neighbors with all the different size snowfalls you have! (Blizzard 12 is still available for shipping now)
Blizzard DMX: Take complete control of your Blizzard! No longer does the idea of, "Set it and forget it" apply. Now, through any sequence editing software that outputs the industry standard DMX protocol, you can control the speed and delay settings of your lights. No need to worry about going outside to switch the settings, do it with just a click of the mouse. Standard Cat-5 cable easily connects the lights together and with the addition of the Blizzard Injector you can add power and the DMX signal through the same cable! (Please notw the addition of a DMX adapter is necessary like the iDMX or Lynx Dongle.)
Blizzard Injector: Easily add power to your Blizzard DMX lights with this extremely easy to build and inexpensive device. Add a DMX signal to the input side, 12 volts DC to power connector and the output side will easily power and control as many Blizzard units as your power supply can handle!
Rainbow Wall Runner: You asked for it, you got it! The biggest suggestion we received last year was to make the Rainbow Wall Runner brighter and the red color darker. We searched high and low and found a new supplier of LEDs. The light output is higher which makes the lights brighter. We also added two additional red LEDs to really give the red a POP! A new board design makes is more energy efficient and they produce even less heat than before. With the addition of the Rainbow Brainyou can simply “plug and play” any of the Rainbow devices for a brilliant, million color lights show!
Rainbow Flood Light: Want a lot of light from a small lighting source? The Rainbow Flood Light is perfect for you! Use this light to light up the whole wall of your house. Use it light up a tree. Use it to light up the walkway. The possibilities are truly endless. Easily control this light via the Rainbow Brain or any DC card to really take control of your lighting needs!
Rainbow Brain: This device is our most advanced piece of hardware to date. The Rainbow Brain allows you easily control any of the current or future releases of our Rainbow line of lights. Industry standard DMX protocol is sent and received via this small and efficient device so you can easily add it to your existing DMX network. 5 separate outputs let you control any combination of the lights you can think of. Imagine the possibilities of having 5 Rainbow Wall Runners all doing different things at different times. Connect up to 5 Rainbow Wall Runners and/or 2 Rainbow Flood Lights on each of the 5 outputs to really take control of your display.
We are still developing a lot of new products that could be released this year as well, so we will keep you posted. Right now the firmware for the Blizzard DMX and Rainbow Brain is currently in beta testing. As soon as I am happy with it, there will be loads of videos of all the lights in action.
Have a question? Hop on over to our Forums that are specifically there for discussions on our products. You can check it out at http://www.christmasonmanor.com/forum. Also, do not hesitate to send me an email at greg@christmasonmanor.com.
Photos and prices of all the new products and lighting devices have been posted in the store at http://www.christmasonmanor.com/store
Very preliminary manuals are in development and will be posted on the support page very soon. http://www.christmasonmanor.com/support/support.htm
The "COOP" is scheduled to run from Tuesday, March 23, 2010 until April 19, 2010. All products will be ordered at that time will remain in stock for most of the year. When you go to the store you will see that it shows "0 Available" on most of the products. This is because you will order them now and shipment will be sometime between April and May. After May, most, if not all of the lights will be in stock, so don't feel like you have to rush into the lights now.
As always I am here to help you out. Please let me know if you have any questions and I will be happy to help you out.
