Christmas Lights Projectors: characteristics

Christmas light projectors are very impressive machines with many possible options for decorations. These objects let us create a nice atmosphere in an inside or outside enironment immediately and with not much effort. They are perfect to create the right atmosphere in joyful events such as Christmas, a birthday, Halloween, or a wedding.

They are not toys, and are made of a lighting source such as halogen, led or laser bulbs, inserted into a lamp usually made of plastic or aluminium. This led halogen light projects a ray of light at a certain distance on a wall or on plants.

As we mentioned earlier, you can create spectacular images in just a few seconds, with no effort at all, and you don’t even need an electrician or a technician to set them up since they are very, very easy to use. It’s actually a big pro, given the fact that the installation cost is usually the highest cost in such settings.

Thanks to light projectors you can easily light up difficult areas such as very high walls, and also in a safe way given the low tension needed by the projector.

You can find two types of projectors in stores: led and laser.

Some suggestions for making the best use of your projector:

1. To have a better result, the light projector should face towards dark, not illuminated, walls. Darkness is fundamental: to project Christmas images or for a starry night effect on walls, there should not be illuminated areas.
2. As a reference, you should take the consumption (Watts) to understand how powerful the light is:

between 1 and 5 Watts consumption indicates low power and brightness. The lower the consumption, the lower the distance between the course of the light and the surface to light up has to be.

3. How to understand the right balance between projecting too close or too far. If you place the projector too far, you might have a very big image that covers a wide area, but that is quite blurry. Even if you place it too close, the projection will not have enough space to shape up.
4. It is also very important to place the projector straight: for a better result you should place it upright in relation to the surface you want to project the image on. A projector placed obliqually on a surface in respect to the wall, will project a deformed image.
5. You should also pay attention to the color of the lights: green is advisable for projection of plants, so that it gains volume and intensity. Blue and green are the brightest colors even at long distances. If you prefer red or white, you will have to make sure that the wall is smooth and that the projector is not too far from the wall.
