Our story

A cord on every building

My wife and I inherited a Christmas village. Every building came with its own little light on a long cord, and each one had to be switched on and off by itself.

I wanted to swap them for something better: a light with no cord, a battery we could recharge, and one remote for the whole village. Colors would be nice too, since we'd use it at Halloween.

I searched Amazon, Google, and Alibaba. The closest I found were battery units that still run on AAAs, still have a cord to a battery box, and only come in warm white.

So we're making it. We've written up the design and sent it to manufacturers, and we're waiting on samples. If the samples are good, the first sets will be ready for fall 2027. If they're not, we'll say so here.

The waitlist is how we find out if other people want this too. If you join, you'll get one email when it's ready. No payment, no spam.
