Loftek Nova S 50W Floodlight Can Do It All!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

My husband works in his garage A LOT and, when he saw my new Nova S 50W RGB Floodlight, he was really excited to use it!!

It is the newest product in Nova series with 16 remote-controllable RGB colors, perfect for garden, stage, party, decoration and working in the garage!

We also love to entertain, have people over in the summer and have outdoor parties! This Flood Light is perfect for these events and I LOVE how you can display 16 colors with it! You can create any mood at any time!

Smaller yet stronger, powerful, and built like a tank, the all-new LOFTEK Nova S features a special-made, fully-functional remote, a power supply with waterproof sealant, a 5-foot UL-listed plug, and a reliable LED chip.

It also features a 120° beam angle; vertically-rotatable with an attached adjustable mounting bracket. A built-in memory function automatically saves your settings when the device is turned off.

With powerful 16-color RGB lighting and four pattern modes (flash/strobe/fade/smooth), you can customize your floodlight’s settings to get precise, customized lighting effects, all via remote control.

And my favorite part - it is built to last!!! The LOFTEK NOVA S LED flood light is built with die-cast aluminum housing and impact-resistant tempered glass. It is rated IP66 (completely sealed against dust ingress and moderate water jets) and optimized for heat dispersal and energy efficiency. A sturdy bracket lets you mount the light wherever you want.

Whether you need to illuminate your garden, worksite, stage, party, or holiday display, the LOFTEK Nova S 50W floodlight can do it all!

When you think of holiday gifting, lighting rarely makes the list – but it should. Think about it: lighting is in EVERY room and can have a huge impact on personal comfort.

Have a tech-savvy (or wannabe tech-savvy) friend on your gift list this year? 

With its easy-to-use, affordable, brilliant light, the Cree Connected LED bulb is the perfect gift for consumers looking to smarten up their home without the hassle of overcomplicated “smart” technology, and works perfectly with the popular Amazon Echo and most other smart hubs! Cree believes that in order to spur smart home adoption, you have to make connected technology easy for consumers to understand and use.

The Cree Connected LED bulb produces a high quality light that looks and lights even more like a light bulb and can be controlled from anywhere. It is an easy-to-use and cost-effective way to customize lighting in your home. Simply install your bulbs and compatible hub, sync with the applicable App, and begin to control your light settings using your iOS or Android device.

Compatible with multiple home automation systems, the Cree Connected LED bulb works with either Wink, SmartThings, WeMo Link or any other ZigBee Certified hub.

Transform Your Outlet Quickly and Easily Into A Nightlight with @Snap_Power Guidelights!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

I got a really cool gift idea for homeowners on your gift list this year or parents with small children!

The SnapPower Guidelight (starting at $15) can safely and easily transform an outlet coverplate into a convenient night light. They automatically turn on and off by a sensor and are equipped with energy-efficient LED lighting for perfect nighttime illumination.

I instantly LOVED the idea behind these Guidelights because my children get up to go to the bathroom during the night and these are so great for providing subtle light only in the dark WITHOUT a bulky nightlight!

PLUS, these LED lights cost less than 10 cents per year and last 25+ years and the practical design leaves all electrical outlets free for use! I really love that!

And what amazed me the most was how easy it was to install! By the time I was done singing and praying with my son before bed, my husband had the guidelight installed in his room! It requires no wires or batteries and the sensor turns Guidelight on/off based on current light conditions. I never have to worry about it!

If you are looking for a cool decor feature in your house or a helpful light for children at night without blocking an outlet, these SnapPower Guidelights are one of the coolest home devices we own now! LOVE THEM!

Buy It:

You can purchase the SnapPower Guidelights in several colors and designs starting at $15 from the SnapPower website.

"Go Green" This Spring with LED Light Bulbs from Batteries Plus Bulbs!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

When we finally moved into our own house a couple months ago, one of the first things we wanted to do is "Go Green" and eco-friendly with many things around the house. We recently started a compost, will be installing a rain barrel soon, and have been focusing on recycling more!

Our latest "green" change has been swapping out the bulbs in our house with eco-friendly LED light bulbs from Batteries Plus Bulbs!

Over the past three years, each new generation of LED has become more efficient and less expensive. When the traditional A-shape LED bulbs came onto the scene a few years ago, single bulbs were in the $30 range, whereas now we’re looking at roughly only $7 a bulb!

Plus, many energy utility companies nationwide are incentivizing consumers to adopt LEDs by offering instant savings including $10 off a bulb, reducing bulb costs to as little as $1.99 (in select areas).

Batteries Plus Bulbs, the nation’s largest provider of batteries and light bulbs, have a great selection of LEDs to buy if you considering an eco-friendly lightbulb makeover! They offer a great selection of A-shape, recessed and decorative LED bulbs but we have started by replacing our A-shape 60W bulbs.

The A-shape (classic series) are a comparable swap for most standard 60W bulbs and comes in a variety of shades. This is the most common type of bulb found in table and floor lamps.

The A-shape bulbs illuminate 240 degrees Soft White, omnidirectional lighting. The Duracell Ultra LED bulbs we are using use only 8.5W to produce the same light as a 60 Watt, A19 incandescent. They are also designed and rated for use in enclosed fixtures.

So don't go another day wasting energy and money! Spring clean your light bulbs this Spring and replace them with LED bulbs from Batteries Plus Bulbs! Batteries Plus Bulbs is the nation’s largest and fastest-growing franchise for batteries, light bulbs, and related accessories and services like Device Repair!

Buy It: 

You can purchase LED Bulbs from your local Batteries Plus Bulbs store.
