[ laughs ] >> wow! this is absolutely amazing! >> all with one plug. [ laughter ] >> honey, come out here! you got to see this! >> wow, it's so cool! >> what is it? >> this is star shower. pretty magical, huh? >> it's amazing! >> i'm never gonna hang another string of lights again. >> problem solved. >> announcer: introducing star shower laser light, the amazing new laser light system that showers any home with thousands of brilliant, colorful stars. it's the incredible one-plug lighting technology sweeping the country and illuminating homes like never before. >> i have never seen anything like star shower. >> it has a "wow" factor that away. >> as soon as i plugged it in, i was wowed, taken aback. never seen anything like it. >> let's face it, we all dread hanging holiday lights. it can take hours, if not days, not to mention, you probably

need a ladder and once they're all hung, they still might not work. oh, and then after the holidays, you have to take them all back down. well, finally, there's an incredible new way to light up your home that's easier and faster than ever. ready, joe? >> all set here, mindy! >> then, plug it in. >> [ laughs ] >> behold the magical transformation and dazzling illumination of star shower laser lights. imagine thousands of beautiful stars like these covering your home and with little or no effort. >> i am blown away! i'm in awe. >> i know. it is so magical. >> it's like we're in the middle of the milky way. >> you're right! >> and here's the thing -- anybody can illuminate their entire home in a matter of seconds. >> it's true, so why don't you just show everyone how easy it is to do? >> here we go! one light...one plug...boom. >> i love it! >> and when i say one light, i'm talking about one star shower with thousands of lights, okay, attached to an extra-long stake to stay above the snow level or the ground cover. and it goes right back in, you're ready to go.

[ laughs ] >> it's cheating, right? but no, that is the new way to decorate, right, joe? >> that's why i love my new

star shower laser lights -- you just plug and you point. and when you're done, you unplug and you put it away. or leave it out, because star shower is definitely a year-round lighting product. >> with star shower, the nice thing about it is, i can use it for the holidays, i can use it for birthday parties, i can use it for anniversary parties, fourth of july -- anything i want to celebrate, it makes my house the center of the party. >> when i put star shower up in my home, it literally looks like the sky is opening up. it's gorgeous. 3d, bright, festive. i bring it out whenever i can. >> one thing you don't realize -- you should -- star shower's gonna save you a lot of money when it comes to this versus this mess of traditional lights. >> you know, i was wondering about that because holiday time, boy, the electric bill really goes up, huh? >> oh, big time, but not anymore when you have star shower, because the cost of running star shower is -- you ready? -- >> i'm ready. >> 1% of what it costs to run these traditional lights -- 1%. >> seriously? >> yes. >> so, you're telling me i'm gonna save 99% on my electric bill if i use this? >> yes! and i've got a demo to prove it. take a look.
