How it works
Clip in, charge up, press a button
Each light has its own rechargeable battery, so no cord runs out the back of every building.
Clip it in
It uses the same metal spring clip as a standard village light cord and goes in the hole where the bulb went. For open-bottom pieces, unscrew the clip and stand it inside.
Use the remote
Turn everything on at once, or set groups: the church in red, the bakery in warm white. It's a radio remote, so you don't have to aim it.
Charge them together
Six lights charge on one tray from one USB-C cable. Our target is 20+ hours per charge at half brightness. We'll publish measured numbers from samples.
Every season
Spooky in October, warm white in December
Orange, purple, and green for the haunted village, then warm white for Christmas. Same lights, changed from the remote. Sets of 4, 6, and 12, with add-on packs for big displays.

Fit check
Will it fit my buildings?
Pick the brand of most of your buildings.
Department 56 lighted buildings use a standard village light cord with a C7 bulb and spring clip. That's the hole we're designing for, so they should fit. We'll confirm with samples and publish a fit list.
