Just set the projector up in front of your house, and you’re done. Laser projectors have been one of the most popular Christmas decorations for the last couple of years, and it’s not hard to see why. That’s right, you’ve seen them all over the neighborhood, probably took a few stray beams to the eye, you might even own your own. But Christmas lights and decorations have really started pushing the envelope in terms of technology: addressable RGB LED strands, Bluetooth controlled effects, and as of the last couple years, friggin’ lasers. Not that long ago, this would hardly be exciting news for the readers of Hackaday. It’s in this narrow corridor of time, between the Great Holiday Unloading and the new spring products coming in, that you can find some fantastic deals on Christmas decorations. No more money to be made on the most commercialized of all holidays, so back to business as usual. The Christmas music playing on the overhead speakers switches back to the family friendly Top 40, the store’s decorations get tossed in the compactor, and everything that’s even remotely related to the holiday is put on steep clearance. In the world of big-box retail, December 26th is a very special day.
