Pumpkin lights! – Liberty Imports’ Halloween Pumpkin Lights.

Standard

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love everything about it, espically the decorations. Nothing is more iconic than the Jackolantern either. These lights are really cute. Even though they are not LED, they have them made to keep working, even when a light  goes out. I was able to test this out immediately too. One of my pumpkins would not light up upon arrival. Poor thing stayed dark while all of the other pumpkins slowly blinked along. They include 2 spare bulbs with this set. This is a blinking set. There is no other setting option available. On this set of lights from Liberty Imports, you get 10 pumpkins. The individual lights slide into the top of each pumpkin too. There is only 24” of leader line from the plug to first pumpkin, so you may need to use an extension cord, if you are hanging them up. I needed to use one. The entire set is approx.. 11ft long. Every pumpkin is about 12” apart, and each pumpkin is a pretty good size, at 2 ½” in diameter. They plug into a regular outlet, and can use any extension cord, since they have a 2 prong plug. When I first tested them out, I literally just laid them on the floor near me, and let them run all night. The pumpkins are so large, that they never even get warm to the touch when on. This is great, because little ones are drawn to lights, and will definitely try to touch them. When my youngest was little he was drawn to Jackolanterns because of their faces. He loved everything with faces, lol. Overall this is a fun set of lights. I wish they had an option to stay on fully, but since they blink slowly, they are still comfortable to look at and are enjoyable. Some lights blink so fast, so they can make you dizzy, and hurt your eyes. Fortunately, this set is not like that. The green wiring gives the resemblance of pumpkin vines, so the lights look extra cute to me. With all of the LED lights hitting the market, these almost look old fashioned, lol. I actually shocked myself with that reaction. I love, love, love the look. These are sooooo much cuter than the thin LED pumpkin lights I’ve seen. The wonderful character of a Jackolantern, gets lost that way. These are truly iconic.

I received these at a discount. I was under no obligation to leave my unbiased and honest review. – Liberty Imports’ Halloween Pumpkin Lights Blinking Decorative String Lights – Set of 10 Lights.

Perfect for every day use as well. – Poweradd [UL Listed] 2-Outlet International Travel Charger Power Adapter.

Standard

My husband just got home from a very long deployment. I had to send him and others many travel adapters. They aren’t told they need them until they get to where they are going, too. These come in handy even if you do not leave the states. This particular power adapter with travel adapters and smart USB ports, is a very useful unit. It can be used in home on a daily basis, easily. The US plug adapter is attached to it upon arrival. It does come with 4 different plug adapters which make it useable in the UK, AU, EU, and JP as well. The plugs are easy to change. On the top of the unit, you will see a grey lever. You need to push this to remove the plug, and to place in the new plug adapter. It locks into place firmly as well. Also on this adapter are 2 – 3 prong outlets and 2 smart USB ports. You can just use this in any outlet at home while not traveling. Another really handy feature is the built in micro USB charging adapter. It is wrapped around the unit. Just pull it free and plug in your phone or tablet. My items read it immediately and start charging right away. The same goes for the USB ports. These ports have a nice fit, and they can deliver up to 2.4A for fast charging. IPhones do not require that much, but these are smart ports, and will only deliver what it needs. My Android devices require higher amps, and I am also covered with these. This unit can handle an input of 100V~240V. It has a 24 month warranty too. It’s a very handy unit. Perfect for a countertop outlet since it has the attached micro USB cord. It’s truly perfect for travel, even in the states. My husband and older son work on the road and stay at a lot of hotels. They need travel adapters like this to keep their items charged on the road. It really makes life easier. My unit has been reliable and working well.
