This light is much more than just a Halloween novelty light. The basic light colors are green, orange, purple and white. The remote control also allows you to select 11 more combinations of two to four colors at the same time—many are far from what I would call Halloween colors--which is good. Unfortunately, the directions and power cord labeling state that the light is only good for temporary use and installation up to 90-days maximum. I am betting that the light will last longer and that something may have been lost in translation and they really mean that the product is only guaranteed for 90-days.
The remote worked right out-of-the-box and is intuitive to use. The stated range of the remote is 20-feet which is accurate. A built-in memory function retains the last selection in case power is lost or turned off for the night. As shipped, the CR2032 battery was in the collar that attaches the swivel mount to light so look close for it. It is a snug fit and the battery will need to be popped out and inserted in the remote. Opening the battery compartment of the remote is a little tricky.
The light pattern is hard to describe, but the product name “Ghostflame” is as good as any. The intertwined, flame-like pattern produced is interesting and would have other seasonal applications. The swirling pattern is due in part to the embossed swirls in the clear globe that encloses the LED light and a second flat, rotating clear plate with swirls located just above the LED chip assembly. Repackaging--without the jack-o-lantern image--for other occasions would make sense. Directing the light at a small disco ball also produced a great effect.
The mounting arrangement is designed to be screwed into a male threaded spike provided and pushed into the ground. FYI: The stud is a M6-1.0 so a bolt could be used to attach the light to a clamp or a fixed surface if desired. There is a swivel connector at the light to allow it to be easily positioned. The power cord is 75-inches (~190 cm) long.
There is mention that if the product is not used in accordance with the manual, i.e. instructions, then the guarantee becomes void. However, there is no mention of an actual guarantee or period. I assume that there may be a 90-day guarantee so make your own cost benefit decision. There is a Texas contact address listed on the box. The product is made in China.
