In order to charge the Duracell Powerblock 500 with my existing Costco MASSIMO 100W solar blanket ( https://amzn.to/3s4a6nf ), I needed a iGreely 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC Female Power Plug Cable ( https://amzn.to/3ktzK0B ) to connect to the Duracell 500. I also bought a iGreely Y-Adapter to connect two 100 watt blankets to the HPP connector ( https://amzn.to/3y9vBqG ) . I have not tested it yet but will do so in the future.

II already own a Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) which I use every other day to work on my laptop in my car, or to play my Xbox in my car when I am waiting or parking. It charges great with the adapters provided by Massimo solar blanket ( https://amzn.to/3s4a6nf ).

The Duracell Powerblock 500 recharges fully on my porch in about 4-5 hours with 200W charge controller, 8-9 hours on my 100W solar panel. The 100W solar panel ( https://amzn.to/3s4a6nf ) needs a 2.1 MM DC connector / High Powe Port (HPP) adapter to 5 MM adaptor to charge the Duracell 500. iGreely 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC Female Power Plug Cable ( https://amzn.to/3ktzK0B )

REVIEW: Expanding Garden Hose 75ft – Easy to USE and HIDE!

I really really love this light weight convenient 75ft expanding garden hose ( https://amzn.to/3vi1zxS ). For years I have been using my heavy rigid garden hoses, which made me hate going out to water the plants and wash my car. This expandable garden hose is very easy to handle and can be put away very fast. No more reeling in heavy hoses!

This one is a 75 ft expanding garden hose ( https://amzn.to/3vi1zxS ) that can fit inside a small planter when not in use, or it can be stored in a bag. For people who have a condo and limited space this is good.

PROS:
Easy to handle and store.
Very long length – really compact when expanded or contracted.
Complete package has nozzle.
Shut off valve makes it easy to drain to contract and store.
No hose reel needed, just store in a small planter, container, or bag.

CONS:
-Light duty perfect for home use. Not sure how long it will last compared to heavy duty commercial grade hoses.
-Rubber hose protecting rubber shield slides off from time to time.
-Fiber housing may pickup dirt and get dirty – need to hose off before storage.

Overall, I will be using this 75 ft expanding garden hose ( https://amzn.to/3vi1zxS ) daily for gardening and around the home, as it is faster, flexible, and more convenient for 90% of all the outside water hose needs. Definitely good for folks who have trouble with lifting or handling heavy garden hoses. Its also very space saving.

REVIEW: Stage / Up Lights! 36 LED RGB Stage Party lights!

I got these Par Light, 36 LED RGB Stage Party Lights ( https://amzn.to/3iYhsUu ) to put background splash of color for my room curtains and for video work. They work well for that purpose, simple to use, and very light weight.

Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases. For items in this video, web page, or vlog, please check out other gift ideas at my Amazon lists. Visit: https://www.amazon.com/shop/sterlingw​​

Note these 36 LED RGB Stage Party Lights ( https://amzn.to/3iYhsUu ) are 18 Watt RGB LEDs so they will not over power a brightly lit room. For parties, DJ setups, or for live streaming in a room they are fine. Very light weight plastic is mounted on a light weight metal bracket. They are a good value and will get the job done.

The 36 LED RGB Stage Party Lights ( https://amzn.to/3iYhsUu ) build quality is OK. In fact its pretty generic and rebranded. The packaging is cheap. It does not come with batteries for the remote. It needs a 2025 Cell battery. The lights can be controlled manually from the back of the unit.

It also has DMX controls ( I dont need to use it cuz i am just using it as solid color accent lighting ). The instructions is hard to understand as it is just a piece of paper with codes, but after experimenting and cycling through the modes its pretty straight forward.

36 LED RGB Stage Party Lights ( https://amzn.to/3iYhsUu )

PROS:
Works
Plastic Lightweight compact –
Only 18W per light at FULL Power, 9W-12W during other modes
Simple use for background color background
Set and power up with same settings

CONS;
Bright enough for dark rooms and accent lighting, at 18W don’t expect to over power 40W overhead lights. You will need something more powerful.
Super short power cable – about less than 2 ft
IR Remote is hard to control mode and color
Hard to see the code when setting
Bad instruction page.

TIPS:
Preset the light color from the back and turn off to save settings

Overall, the 36 LED RGB Stage Party Lights ( https://amzn.to/3iYhsUu ) is good for side DJ lighting, accent stage lighting, event color lighting, party lights, home studio, streaming, or photography. The 18w good amount of light, however if you want long throw of light you should get a higher wattage.
