Before you buy

Make the product fit the plan.

These checks are useful even if you buy somewhere else—or decide you do not need another product at all.

Control competing light

Streetlights and porch lights can flatten projection and colored effects. Test placement after dark before finalizing the scene.

Check consumables

Fog fluid, batteries, replacement bulbs, and mounting hardware may add to the real cost of an effect.

Use restraint

A limited color palette and one dominant movement effect usually feels more intentional than every light mode running at once.
