I was surprised to recently stumble upon The All-Occasion Light Display Projector in Hammacher Schlemmer selling for $89.95. The reason I was surprised is because I purchased the exact same light show about 5 years ago during an after Christmas sale at KMart. The All-Occasion Light Display Projector only cost me $30.00, and was the last one in the store.

Why I Bought It:

The All-Occasion Light Display Projector seemed new, unique, and awesome at the time. A projector that gives off the impression of floating objects on your house or wall.

On the box it showed how the light show would look. It displayed snowflakes that seemed to float down the wall or the exterior of the house, it showed witches that seemed to fly.

It seemed really freaking cool, and thats why I bought it. Plus, I had never seen on before. All the lights I see during Christmas time, and I had yet to see this. I figured we'd be the coolest cats on the block come next Christmas.

How It Works:

The All-Occasion Light Display Projector, projects white images that seem to actually move due to the rotating mirror ball inside of the projector. The projector came with 8 discs. The discs all have shapes cut out. Mine came with snowflakes, ghosts, witches, stars, bats and so on. (You could make your own if you wanted). These discs slip inside of a chamber inside of the projector, once the projector is turned on it casts the images onto the wall.

It's basically a light show for all year round. They've got Thanksgiving, Halloween, New Years, Christmas and other holidays covered. A simple change of the disc, and you are done.

The discs are made out of thick water resistant plastic. They are easy to loose, so try and keep them in the box when you are not using them.

Issues:

My main issue with The All-Occasion Light Display Projector was the fact that it is lightweight, and if you plan on using it to light up your house on the outside you better make sure you pile rocks around its base to keep it from falling down. The stupid cheap rickety legs that the projector sits on sucks and blows over with the smallest breeze.

I've seen these displays before and thougth they were really cool. I agree with you, though. Too bad they didn't make it sturdier and more weather resistant. If they did, I would buy one - for $30 - but not $90. ;) Thanks for the info! MZ PS: I love this line: "I figured we'd be the coolest cats on the block come next Christmas." 8)
