Designers Edge L-878-4N1-OVAL Pro-Series One-Light 250-Watt Halogen 4-N-1 Combo Portable Work Light

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Lighting and Electrical
from: Designers Edge


Very versatile and useful--can be hung, spiked to the ground, clamped to anything or simply stand on horizontal surfaces. I like it that it's 250 watts instead of 500, not so dangerously bright and scary-hot to the touch as the common 500 watt units are. Would highly recommend this worklight. Very clever tool.

First Alert SA302CN Double Sensor Battery-Powered Smoke and Fire Alarm

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Lighting and Electrical
from: First Alert

May 02, 2007
Standard ion-based fire alarms have a success rating of a big 35%. I didn't know this until a fire expert talked to me about fire safety in our home. That was when I found out that in Europe and Canada, ion-based smoke detectors are outlawed and photo-sensors are the norm. These have a much higher rate of success and reliability.

This model is affordable and has a lot of great features. Be aware, however, that if you install yours anywhere near a heat source that could make steam, cooking smoke, etc., the alarm will go off. This is where the mute feature comes in so handy--especially the TV remote ability.

When you install one in the kitchen, just be sure it's on the opposite side of the room from your stovetop ... Read More:

First Alert CO400 Battery Powered Carbon Monoxide Alarm

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Lighting and Electrical
from: First Alert

May 02, 2007
I bought this along with the more expensive First Alert CO410 model to replace two Kidde-brand models which had died within two years of purchase. I figured a different brand had to be better, right?

No.

I put in fresh batteries, and this one started making a squealing noise, somewhere between a proper alarm and a sick baby. Something was clearly not right, and no amount of pushing buttons or changing batteries would help.

The other more expensive model was no better -- its fancy LCD panel displayed random meaningless lines rather than letters or numbers (similar to the way the Kidde models had failed, in fact), and similarly refused to be reset to a sane state.

I don't know about you, but that's ... Read More:

Twilight Sea Turtle

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Lighting and Electrical
from: Cloud b


This is a cute item and we like that it supports conservation efforts, however the stars are HUGE.. When we put the turtle on a table (3 feet off the ground) in her room the stars shine on the ceiling and walls about two inches wide. They are also really dim and it has to be really dark to see them. We expected that the stars would be smaller that there would be more of them. Based on the photos and their 'promotion' that you could see 'constillations' it was not exactly what we expected.

Intermatic LX19720T Malibu Outdoor Lighting Kit with Fourteen Tier Lights, Six Floodlights plus 88-Watt Power Pack/Timer, Black

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Lighting and Electrical
from: Intermatic


I was skeptical about purchasing this set because of the reviewer's comments about missing and flimsy parts and very dull light.

I received my set in great condition with no missing parts. The set is plastic, but it is not at all flimsy. You can't pound them into the ground with a hammer, but they go in with little trouble. I am in an area with red clay almost as hard as concrete and used a 12 inch spike to start the hole and it worked fine.

The box does have a lot of parts, but if you follow the directions they go together pretty easy. The only problem I had was with 6 of the tier lights. The hole in the socket was not bored out enough to get the wire in far enough for the bulb to make contact. I needed to use a small eyeglass ... Read More:

Easy Jack 2 Wireless Jack Base and Extension Unit

from: Phonex


While this unit does exactly what it says... i dont think i would recommend it to anyone. i am using it for a simple phone line, and the static created by this unit is so loud and strong, that it almost makes the phone useless.

I have a mini frig that only has a car adapter...I wanted to bring the frig upstairs to use for baby bottles so I don't have to go up and down the stairs every night to the kitchen. this works great! It doesn't get hot and I've been using it for about 2 weeks now about 12 hours a day. Highly recommend.

Belkin 6 Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Lighting and Electrical
from: Belkin Components


I didn't find anything wrong with this surge protector so far. It looks neat and I haven't had any bad experiences so far. The thing about these kind of products is, you never know until something bad happens. But now, everything seems to be alright.

Oh, by the way, never expect to use it like an extension cord. The wire is way too short for that. But again, it's worth the money.

Black and Decker VEC192 20 Million Power Series 3335 Lumens Spotlight

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Lighting and Electrical
from: Vector


This is one of our best investments now that we live on 8 picturesque acres in NE PA. We've seen all kinds of night animals from deer to owls, bear and even a bobcat. This spotlight works better than we ever expected. The only drawback is the 48 hour charge that is required before use. Other than that we are extremely happy with our purchase!
