  • QuestionDo you have to purchase a certain brand or type string lights for it to work or is it compatible with any?

    Asked by Vickie.

    • Answer I have several brands of LED & incandescent lights from Home Depot, Menards, & Walmart and they all work just fine. But don't use Martha Stewart brand lights because there have been reports of them catching fire when dimmed/flashed/shimmered. (I know this because I've used the Light-O-Rama light & sound system for many years, and that's something that I learned from other Light-O-Rama users.)

  • QuestionHow many strands can you hook up...I see it says 6 channels so can I hook up 6 strands per channel?

    Asked by Mike.

    • Answer You can hook up to a maximum of 240 watts of lights per channel, for a total of 1,440 maximum watts. Since LED lights use much less watts than incandescent lights, use LEDs as much as possible so you can string more lights together. So it's not the number of strands of light that matters... it's the total wattage of the strands. Don't go over 240 watts for any of the 6 channels and you should be OK.

  • QuestionIs it the 2020 Version.

    Asked by Danielson.

    • Answer I just picked mine up at Best Buy yesterday. It is different from Best Buy's 2020 version. For song selection settings this 2021 version has Siberian and Traditional (10 songs each) but there isn't a setting to play all 20 songs like the 2020 version had. The 2020 version had settings for Siberian, Rock and Roll, and All Songs. The 2020 version is better because of the ability to play all 20 songs, which you can't do with the 2021 version. If I had known this year's version was going to be different I would have bought another 2020 version last year so I'd have a backup with the setting that could play all 20 songs. I'll keep this 2021 version as a backup because I hacked into the 2020 version to install an audio cable to use with a better external speaker and an FM transmitter.

  • QuestionDoes it come with a remote to turn it on from inside the house if you have it outside?

    Asked by SKS.

    • Answer No, you have to turn it on manually using the power switch, or use an outdoor timer to turn it on and off at specific times (the power switch must always be on when using a timer).

  • QuestionCan multiple units be synchronized?

    Asked by Lolo8898.

    • Answer No because it doesn't always start on the same song every time when it's turn on. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. Seems to be random.

  • QuestionWill this make the christmas lights bulb go out faster because of lights going on and off?

    Asked by MamaR.

    • Answer This is my 6th year doing Christmas light shows synchronized to music using various light & sound show systems that make the lights go on, off, shimmer, and fade/dim. And I'm still using all the same lights and decor that I started using 6 yrs ago. Just stick with simple lights and decor that can only be on or off and don't have any special functions (i.e., avoid using "multi-function" lights & decor that have a control box with a switch or button that makes the lights do different things). Also, don't use Martha Stewart brand lights because they've been known to catch on fire when dimmed/shimmered. Use LED lights & decor as much as possible if you like a lot of lights because each of the 6 outlets have a maximum load of 240 watts, which would be reached quickly if using incandescent lights.

  • QuestionDoes it have a 3.5mm jack in case I want to plug in better speakers?

    Asked by Celso.

    • Answer Unfortunately no. But the built-in speaker is loud enough to hear from 50 ft away. If you search youtube there's someone who came up with a hack for an FM transmitter and additional speaker.

  • QuestionCan you replace the recorded christmas carols using a USB so you can play other music or are you stuck with the recorded music? Do you a Mr. Music where you can change the music? thanks, Mike

    Asked by Mike.

    • Answer You cannot play any other songs. You can only play the songs that come with the unit. The light sequences are made to work with the 20 songs that come with the unit. If you want the flexibility to play whatever songs you want, you would have to buy a more expensive system like Light-O-Rama (which I have), but then you'd also have to either buy the light sequences (for songs that actually have pre-made sequences) or you would have to spend hundreds of hours creating the light sequences yourself.

  • QuestionWhat is the jack used for on the bottom of the unit? Its says This jack is for store display use only?

    Asked by Jack.

    • Answer My understanding is that jack is used by stores to secure the unit so nobody can steal it when it's a display unit. Others have tried plugging in headphones, speakers, and FM transmitters but it doesn't work for those purposes. Too bad, that would be awesome if that's what the jack was for.

  • QuestionWill in work with air inflatables

    Asked by Alex.

    • Answer No because the inflatables would be constantly inflating and deflating as the Mr. Christmas box sends or cuts power to the inflatable. This would ruin the motor that pumps air into the inflatable when power is supplied. The only way it would work is if the power for the light and motor are on separate power cords, and none of my inflatables have that.
