Everyone who sees the
FIREFLY MAGIC® Firefly Lights thinks
they're wonderful, so we wanted to have a mascot that was
just
as great. But even
more, we wanted people to smile, and that's why our
company mascot is SPARKY the Firefly.
Catching Fireflies in a mayonnaise
jar has always been a favorite of children on a

"Patented Firefly
Lights Create the Look & Feel
of Mother Nature's
Real Fireflies"
Fireflies, also called
Lightning Bugs, light up a magical evening
and are truly 'Magical Fireflies'. Welcome!
You've just discovered the amazing Firefly
Magic® Firefly Lights that
have been developed to accurately recreate
the life-like flashing, flickering, and fading
of Mother Nature's real fireflies in your
yard or garden, all year long. So special
and realistic are these patented firefly
lights that they're used by Universities
for conducting their firefly research. In
addition, Firefly Magic® Firefly
Lights are used in theme parks, natural science
museums, zoos, hotels, restaurants, on stage,
and in movies to accurately replicate the
look and feel of Mother Nature's real fireflies.
How accurate do the Firefly Magic® Firefly
Lights duplicate Mother Nature's real fireflies?
The Curator of Educationat
the Natural Science Center of Greensboro selected
Firefly Magic® Firely Lights
for their Bug Discovery Exhibit

Here to read his letter why they selected our
firefly lights.
“Tiny
Microchips bring Firefly Lights to Life .
. .
Fireflies can't tell the difference!”
If a firefly can’t tell
whether these amazing electronic lights are
fellow fireflies or not, think of how you’ll
surprise your friends as they stare out at
the flashing and flickering of these patented
electronic Firefly Magic® Firefly
Lights. Kid's love them, adults love them,
and what fun they'll add to your next outdoor
gathering. (See customer's letter to the
right about how real fireflies are fooled)
What makes them so real? Thanks
to sub-micron computer chip technology utilized
in the latest microprocessors, sophisticated
programs can be processed in mere milliseconds
that exactly duplicate the flash, flicker,
and fade of real fireflies in nature. Never
before has so much precision been created
in a simple to install home outdoor lighting
device. Click

I
want to say thanks for such a great product.
I have the solar powered
model in
my backyard and it is the best. I am originally
from Illinois and lightning bugs are in my
blood. I put the firefly lights in my hedges
bordering one side of my yard and they look
so real, let me share a story . . .
I have a friend,
Greg Dziem, who has a master’s
degree in entomology from Cornell University
and, more importantly, we grew up together
in Illinois and experienced a childhood together,
many times catching lightning bugs on warm
summer nights. Greg has been living in California
for over 20 years. He is a smart guy, especially
about bugs!
He was at my house the other evening
and we were standing at the BBQ. Greg did
not
know that I had installed your firefly
lights in my bushes. At dusk, my firefly
lights
started up and they look just like the
lightning bugs coming out!
Greg, perfectly sober, ran to the bushes
and caught one of the lights. He didn't
say anything, just ran and did it. You
should
have seen the look on his face. He was
pretty darn confused that he would chase
a lightning
bug, knowing there was no such thing
here - but it just kicked in and he did
it.
We had a great laugh. Thanks!

Can
Firefly Magic® Firefly
Lights Reduce Stress?
The designers at Firefly
Magic® started with stacks of research
on Arthropoda: Insecta: Coleoptera: Lampyridae,
the scientific name for Fireflies, or as
some call them, Lightning bugs. The challenge
came in converting the research into realistic
looking electronic fireflies that have
the same color, size, flicker, and flash
as Mother Nature's own.
But after years of thought,
design, development, and testing the results
surpassed everyone's expectations. Some
researchers spent hours just staring at
the cute little firefly lights, swearing
they were reducing their stress. We don't
make that promise. But we do say that these
firefly lights will be the hit of your
party or gathering!
People have described FIRERFLY
MAGIC® Firefly Lights with
words such as. "Amazing", "Fascinating", "Mesmerizing", "Entertaining",
They're Great", "Unbelievable", "Just
Love'm", and "I can't believe
my eyes".
What is a Firefly or Lightning Bug anyway?
During a visit to California
one of our researchers spoke to a number
of people at random, and the results were
surprising. Many people had never heard
of a firefly. While some said they knew
about them, they confessed of never seeing
real fireflies. However, many of them had
seen the 'make believe' fireflies at Disneyland's
'Pirates of the Caribbean' ride. more
One of the true beauties
of Nature, enough cannot be said about
fireflies. Dancing along just above the
blades of grass or in the bushes and trees,
fireflies use their little bioluminescent
lanterns to flash messages to each other
on warm humid evenings.
Not really 'flies' at all,
fireflies belong to the beetle family of
insects, scientifically known as Arthropoda:
Insecta: Coleoptera: Lampyridae: with 23
genera and over 200 species in North America
alone. Worldwide it is estimated there
are over 2000 species of these wonderful
creatures, also known as lightning bugs.
In most cases, the flickering
and flashing of fireflies is used to communicate
between the male and female in preparation
for mating. And, with so many different
species, each one has its own distinctive
flashing cycle rate that distinguishes
it from members of the other species. In
addition, different species of fireflies
have different color flashes.
What
are Firefly Magic® Firefly
Lights?
Each Electronic Firefly in
a set of Firefly Magic® Firefly Lights
is located at the end of an individual,
small diameter, sunlight-resistant, dark
brown wire that is UL Approved and can
be easily shaped, twisted, and attached
to blend seamlessly into your landscaping.
The Electronic Fireflies
come in 7 or 14 Firefly light sets with
different length wires to allow effective
spacing of the fireflies. For maximum flexibility,
there are three models of Firefly Magic® lights.
Solar powered, 12 Volt transformer powered,
and battery powered for non-permanent installations.
The transformer powered Electronic Fireflies
can have 7, 14, 21 or 28 'Fireflies'.
The "electronic brain" that
makes FIREFLY MAGIC® Firefly Lights
flash, flicker, and fade just like Mother
Nature's real fireflies, is sealed in a
UL listed waterproof case to ensure the
microprocessor and electronics will last
for many years. In addition, each tiny
firefly light will last for more than 100,000
hours of operation - that's more than 25
years of firefly enjoyment by your family,
friends, and guests! And of course, each
FIREFLY MAGIC® Light set comes with
a one (1) Year Limited Warranty.

Magic. They have consistently been the highlight of
every party we have had in our backyard. As great as
their product is, it is surpassed by their customer
service." Dr. Tom Wright

"This has been a fantastic
buying experience. I'm absolutely delighted in
the
quality of your product and exceptional service
you provide your customers. You can bet I'll

"I border a bog area so I
mounted the (Firefly Magic) solar 'panel'
on a tall pole, so it would receive sunlight
as
the
cattails grow. I then strung the (Firefly) lights
and clipped them to the growing cattails so they
could keep moving up and not be blocked by new
growth. Well, last night, I had a very pleasant
surprise. As I sat on the deck, watching the
lights in the bog, I was amazed by the numbers.
As it turned out, the (Firefly
Magic) Firefly lights had attracted many real
fireflies. It was the most amazing sight. We
have always had fireflies, but never in these
numbers. Each night I plant myself on the deck
to watch the dance that goes on. I am so amazed
that the lights have attracted so many real fireflies.
Just wanted to pass this on. Thanks
for making such an innovative and quality product." Marge Anderson,

‘’A
LITTLE GIRLS ATTEMPT
TO SAVE A FIREFLY"
After
hooking up the Firefly Magic Firefly’s
in a Hawaiian Fern in our yard, it was about
a week
later
that I was watching the kids…looking and
pointing as the magic flashed and flickered in
the breezy
evening.
I noticed
that one of the younger girls was trying to
catch one with a plastic container
from one of the lower branches as it swayed,
waiting for that moment of flash.
The moment
came, and she caught it, she paused for
a brief moment, and then came running to me
as
fast as
she could, saying…' Uncle
Joe, Uncle Joe, come, come quick one of
the firefly’s
is stuck on a wire'
P.S. ‘’Only in a child’s
eye…
do we stay young.’’
With
warmest Aloha “Uncle Joe”

"I just placed an order
online for two more Firefly Magic sets to add
to the
three we ordered last year.
We've installed the first sets
along the creekbank of our vacation home in the
Arizona mountains. Being originally from the
Midwest (as are most of our cabin neighbors),
we are amazed at the perfect match of color and
interval that your fireflies have to the real
ones back home!" Randall Kincaid
Scottsdale, AZ
"I ordered your product a
while back and it still works great after more
than a year, even in the extreme heat and moisture
of the harsh, Florida climate. I LOVE your product.
It adds so much charm, mystery and atmosphere
to our yard. We plan on ordering more soon.
We're a radio station that plays
Jazz music from the 1920s and 30s, I'm certain
that many of our US and international listeners
would be interested in purchasing your fun product,
and I'd be happy to recommend it to them as a "green
fairy" related product. Thanks!

Support department:
"I received the Firefly lights yesterday. I want to thank you for your
great customer service. You were awesome!!!
I also want to thank you for getting
these lights to me by this weekend so I can set
them up for my party next week. You and Firefly
Magic are one of the best companies I had the
privilege of working with. Once my friends see
these lights next week, do not be surprised with
a bunch of orders coming in at the same time.
:-) Once I figure out the rest of my garden,
I will be ordering more for myself.
Thank you again for being a great
customer support. It's rare these days." Regards,

"Wow!! I put up the lights around
some vegetation by my pool and it is simply fantastic!
I spent an hour just staring at them--they are
exactly like the real ones!!! Man, if I had a
big way to show these little things off I can't
imagine anyone with any type of landscaping wouldn't
buy them -- they look just like the fireflies
I always see when I travel to the Amazon or Uganda,
since we don't have them in California. These,
with the true colors of fireflies, are even better
than the ones in the Pirates of the Caribbean
ride!!!! I'm just thrilled!!! :-)
Thanks!!!!" Sincerely,

"I bought a set of (Firefly
Magic) firefly lights and installed them for
last night's patio party. They were a total hit.
They fooled several guests who grew up in the
mid-west, and honestly thought I had imported
real fireflies into my garden. I only wish I
had ordered 4 or 5 more sets because I could
have sold them all in a heartbeat. Thanks for
selling such a unique and fun product." Sincerely

an awesome product!!! You wouldn’t believe

"Thanks for the rapid reply.
Your product is great and I am sure that my buddy
will love them. The way you guys deal with matters
and people is nothing short of professional.
It has been a pleasure dealing with you and will
recommend your product to everyone I meet. Thanks
again and keep up the good work." Shawn and Laura Muir

"I just installed my first
set. Wow!
My two girls tried to catch the Fireflies... (and) my wife and I thought
it was very humorous. I have told several individuals about your product
and you should see additional demand." Loren Shumate
Wilmette, Illinois
"The fireflies arrived today.
It took a sweet while to get here but the wait
was definitely worth it ! (These Firefly
Magic Firefly Lights were shipped to The Hague,
Netherlands and had to go through international
customs which took a little longer than we all
expected.)
I took them out of the box right
away to see what it would look like in a darkened
room. Absolutely astonishing !! Though there's
really only twelve fireflies, it looks like there
are many more...
And then the way they flash, flicker
and fade just like the real thing, awesome !
Your fireflies really make me
feel like like I'm back home in the States. You
really accomplished a carbon copy of nature !
Congrats and thanks a million." Frank Visser
The Hague, Zuid Holland
Netherlands
"Firefly Magic Lights are
indeed 100% accurate! ...or as Mary Poppins would
say,'They're supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'
and practically perfect in every way.
I've tried the other firefly light
sets with little fans attached but those are
really cumbersome. Firefly Magic Lights are so
well made they surpass any others on the market.
And the 3-AA battery version is absolutely brilliant
and easy to use!
Thank you so much for making Firefly
Magic Lights available to regular consumers.
I'll definitely be back later to buy a third
and fourth set. Not to mention spreading the
word to all the Disneyland fans on the many online
message boards!" Sincerely,
Bruce Smith
Gresham, OR
"The color is perfect!" Sherrie Schmitt East Lansing, MI
"When my guests go into the
backyard they're shocked when they see fireflies
right here in the San Fernando Valley! Thanks
for adding so much fun to my parties with your
FireflyLights." Sean Taylor
