DescriptionIn this episode of PLUGHITZ Live Unboxed, Scott provides a detailed description and first impressions of the indoor and outdoor Spotlights from the Monster Smart Illuminescence line. Scott starts the episode by expressing his excitement to finally have the spotlights in his hands and see what comes in the box.
Monster Smart Illuminescence Spotlights unboxedScott mentions that these spotlights run on Wi-Fi and are RGBIC, meaning that each light can be controlled individually, allowing for patterns to go across them instead of just one solid color. He opens the box and finds a Getting Started guide and a Quick Start guide, which are altered versions of what is expected with all Monster Smart Illuminescence products.
He then talks about a feature that was announced during their show last year, which is the Razer Chroma integration. He explains that these spotlights can integrate with Razer Chroma, allowing users to illuminate their house based on the look of their screen or have the lights change color every time they receive a tweet.
Moving on to the actual product, Scott discovers stakes that can be screwed into the bottom of the lights, allowing them to be placed into the ground. He also notices a mounting hole on the bottom of the lights, which can be used to attach them to the stakes. The lights can also be attached to a wall or roof using the same mounting hole. Each light can be angled and controlled individually.
Scott then explores the length of the cable and finds it to be long enough to run a longer distance. This gives a lot of versatility to the way the lights are installed. He also discovers a Monster controller, which can be used to control the spotlights instead of using a phone. There is a long cable from the controller to a junction point, which is waterproof and screw-on, just like the Neon products.
Finally, Scott examines the four lights that come with the set, each with a decent length of cable. At the end of the cable is a capped junction point where another set can be plugged in, allowing for multiple sets to be powered in a straight line.
He concludes by mentioning that they will be doing a full product review to explore all the different ways the spotlights can be used. They will also provide a how-to guide on setting up and pairing the spotlights with the Monster Smart app. The link to the product review will be updated in the video description, and all reviews can be found on the PLUGHITZ Live website.
In conclusionThe podcast episode provides a thorough unboxing and initial impressions of the Monster Smart Illuminescence Spotlights. The host highlights their Wi-Fi capabilities, individual control, Razer Chroma integration, and the versatility of being able to stake them into the ground. The length of the cable and the ability to daisy chain multiple sets together are also mentioned as notable features. Overall, the episode offers valuable insights for anyone interested in these spotlights.
