This luminous star is an interesting and much cheaper alternative to designer models, which can be found elsewhere (both here on Amazon as well as in furniture stores). The properties: The star makes a stable impression. The front has a slight ray structure, ie is not completely flat; for design purists might be a knock-out criterion, it does not really bother us. On the back can be found in the center recessed lighting unit, which is based on multi-colored LEDs and a lithium battery includes that is to rich in the charged state for a netzffreien operation of 6 hours (we have not tested yet). Add to this a bit cheap-looking remote control that lets you turn on the Star, choose the color (red, green, blue, yellow, white) and if necessary, can adjust the speed of automatic color change. Although I could not see any IR sensor at the star, this has worked well from several meters away from the front side. The charger is one of the usual cheap parts with approximately 2 meter cable, which you have to put into an otherwise sealed waterproof connector on the back. That's my only real gripe: Will you use the star Outdoor, you have to recharge it virtually previously in the house, as is lost by connecting the charger the wetness protection. Incidentally, you can of course criticize the LED colors, the usual turn out radiant with tendency to cold, but that would not matter to me for an outdoor star in doubt. The yellow color is so hot that he could stand well next to a normal incandescent lighting.
