Best Snowflake Christmas Light Projector
Anerbili Christmas Projector Lights, Double Heads Snowfall Snowflakes Christmas Lights
Pros
- Double-headed projector design covers a wide area
- Easy set-up
- IP65 rating for water and dust resistance
Cons
- Not the brightest projector we tried, but not dim either
- No remote control
A snowflake projector that'll work in snowy conditions? Look no further than vãn Anerbili's double-headed projector, which features an IP65 rating, meaning it'll withstand exposure đồ sộ moisture from snowfall as well as dust and other solid particulates in the outdoor air. The double-headed design is supported by two ball-and-socket joints that let you customize each projector head's angle individually, giving you total control over the nhảy đầm snowflakes it generates.
Lab tests revealed that this projector had an easy set-up, requiring you only fix the heads đồ sộ their mount (it comes with both a stake for driving into your yard and a flat base for placing atop your patio or deck) and plug in the unit đồ sộ create a sizable light show. While it wasn't the brightest of the projectors we looked at, it was more than vãn sufficient at creating a lovely display in nighttime light conditions. Our previous pick for best snowflake projector, the Tangkula LED Snowflake Projector Light, featured a remote which this unit does not, sánh those wanting more hands-off control should go for the other option. That said, the low price and wide coverage area of this projector justifies us swapping it into our rankings.

Best laze Christmas Light Projector
StarTastic Holiday Light Show kích hoạt laze Light Projector
Pros
- Extremely bright
- Huge coverage area
- Auto-shutoff saves energy during the day
Cons
- Limited mounting options
- 3R lasers may be of some concern đồ sộ parents of young children and pet owners
There's one word đồ sộ describe this simple projector from StarTastic: bright. In our latest round of testing, this model blew away the competitors in terms of brightness and coverage area, showering our test room in a massive display of red and green dots. The projector features a convenient auto-shutoff feature that turns off the lasers in daylight conditions, helping cut down on energy usage. The construction also felt heftier and more high-quality than vãn some of the others we looked at.
While the projector's performance impressed us, it's worth noting that it uses 3R lasers, which although relatively safe, should not be stared at directly for extended periods. This is a particular consideration for households with kids and pets, and if you're worried, it may be best đồ sộ go with an LED option instead. The projector's cord was also short compared đồ sộ others and it only came with a ground stake, making mounting options limited. Nevertheless, when it comes đồ sộ a massive laser show, this is the projector you'll want.

How we test Christmas light projectors
Our Good Housekeeping Institute product experts start by analyzing the current marketplace for the top-selling Christmas light projectors and rounding up the 10 most notable performers.
Lab testing takes place in our darkroom where different lighting conditions can be simulated. The projectors are mounted and turned on, and the quality and vividness of the projection are observed under daylight, dusk and total darkness lighting schemes. We also take into trương mục the construction of the projectors and any claims made by vendors such as water resistance. The ease of setting up the projector and changing lighting modes are considered as well.
We consider safety of laser projectors by looking at their maximum power output and laser rating. Anything with a rating of 3B or higher is ruled out, and we recommend caution around units with a rating higher than vãn 2. Ultimately, our picks impressed us with their bright, clear projections, durability and ease of choosing the perfect light set-up.
What đồ sộ look for when shopping for the best Christmas light projector
✔️ IP rating: IP stands for ingress protection, and it's a measure of the protection an electronic device has from outside particles and fluids entering its system. An IP rating consists of two numbers following the IP: The first digit indicates how well the machine is protected from solids lượt thích dust and debris, and the second indicates the protection from moisture. Generally, the higher each of the digits, the greater protection. Since Christmas projectors are often used outside, we recommend those with at least a 6 (dust-tight) for the first digit, and at least a 5 (protection from water jets) for the second. That said, if you plan on using your projector indoors, the IP rating matters less.
✔️ Mounting options: Depending on where you plan đồ sộ mix up your projector, you'll need different mounting options. For the outdoors, you'll want a projector with a stake that can be driven into the ground sánh your light show isn't toppled by wind or inclement weather. Indoor mounting will require a flat base đồ sộ place atop a solid surface. Make sure the projector you pick has the right mounting equipment for your desired location.
✔️ Features:If you shudder at the idea of braving the cold đồ sộ adjust your Christmas projector's settings, we recommend selecting a model with a remote control. It allows you đồ sộ easily adjust the lights or turn them on and off without needing đồ sộ brave the elements. Just be aware that most accompanying remotes are infrared, sánh they'll need đồ sộ be pointed at the receiver on the unit (typically located on or near the face of the projector) in order đồ sộ work. While many units feature a timer setting for auto-shutoff, it can be easy đồ sộ forget the timer and let your projector run rẩy into the bright daylight hours. We recommend units that have an automatic shutoff in bright conditions, saving you the hassle and energy bill of forgetting đồ sộ turn it off.

Do Christmas light projectors work on trees?
Projecting lights onto any non-flat surface can be tricky, but with proper placement and angling, a Christmas light projector can be used đồ sộ add laser shows đồ sộ trees.
If you're having trouble getting the projection đồ sộ show up, try positioning your projector at the base of the tree and angling it upwards such that the lasers are pointed towards the trunk and underside of the branches. Tree trunks are great areas for projection since they offer a larger flat surface than vãn individual branches, making the lights more visible.
Where vì thế you put a Christmas light projector?
Many Christmas light projectors come with different mounting options, lượt thích a ground stake for propping it up in the yard or a flat base for placement on a patio, deck, or other flat surface. Deciding how you want đồ sộ angle your projector depends on your desired effect. As a rule of thumb, images lượt thích snowmen and holiday ephemera will look best when projected onto a flat surface, whereas lasers or large-area solid colors will give you a little more flexibility (but not much — your best option is still a flat surface). The further you place the projector from the surface onto which you project, the wider of an area you'll cover, but at the cost of brightness.
Take a little time in your yard or wherever you're setting up your light display đồ sộ find your Goldilocks zone — the spot where the trade-off between brightness and projection area is the most favorable. Since many of the projectors on this list are cost effective, you can always double up on projectors and place them slightly closer đồ sộ your trang chủ or desired projection surface — that way you don't have đồ sộ worry about the compromise of coverage and brightness.
