"Firefly
Lights Accurately Recreate the
Look of Real Fireflies in
Backyards and Homes"
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 and award winning electronic 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 Education at
the Natural
Science Center of Greensboro selected
Firefly Magic® lights
for their Bug
Discovery Exhibit - Click
Here to learn why they selected
Firefly Magic® Firefly
Lights.
I want
to say thanks for such a great product.
I have the solar powered 12 light 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!
Sincerely,
Dave Guastaferri

“ Tiny
Microchips bring Firefly Lights to Life .
. .
Fireflies
can't tell the difference!”
If a firefly can’t tell whether these
amazing electronic firefly lights are fellow
fireflies or not, think of how you’ll surprise
your friends as they stare out at the flashing,
flickering, and fading 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
technology utilized in the latest
tiny microcomputer chips, we can use sophisticated
programs that process in mere milliseconds
and 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
unit. Click

Can Firefly
Magic® Firefly Lights Reduce Stress?
The designers at Firefly Magic® Firefly
Lights 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. Click

Lights colors.
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 12 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 "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® Firefly
Light set comes with a two (2) Year Limited Warranty.

‘’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.’’

"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!

Message received by our Custom 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,
Stacey Alourdas

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!!!!

"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."

"I border a bog area so I mounted the (Firefly Magic)
solar 'lamp' 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."

"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."

"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

"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
