You can use these lights and the music interface for any party you ever throw. Also, the lights will never discriminate, even if your friends think you have a bad taste in music.
Project your love for Christmas.
Climbing up on your roof to put your Christmas lights up and take them down might not be an ideal option anymore, especially if you’re no longer a spring chicken. In that case, you can simply project your lighting display on the front of your home. Setting up a projector in your front yard is considerably easier than teetering on a ladder. You don’t have to sacrifice safety for the Christmas spirit.
Get a visit from the jolly man himself.
Don’t just stop at projecting still images on your home with your projector. You can actually set up a screen that projects a special visit from Santa and his reindeer. The quality of this projection is so good, you’ll think you finally caught him!
