Sights and sounds
Music makes everything better, whether you’ re working in the backyard, barbecuing, swimming or exercising with friends. Waterproof options like Sony’ s Bluetooth X-Series Speaker SRSXG300B( Item 189935) can withstand the elements and they’ ll wirelessly play tunes from a nearby smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth technology. Similarly, landscape lighting can add some pizzazz to your place, allowing you to control lights with an app, set timers and add sensors to come on at night or when motion is detected.
ENTERTAINING TECH
Take your family movie nights outside with a portable laser projector. These wireless entertainment hubs can project a crystal-clear picture onto any flat surface from several metres away. Premium options like the Hisense Tri-Chroma C1 Laser TV Projector( Item 192904) come with 4K ultra-high-definition picture quality and laser projection and immersive sound capabilities certified by Dolby Atmos, plus automatic image adjusting and efficient cooling, making set-up a breeze.
Power play
Portable power generators are a practical idea, and many today no longer require fuel – which can be noisy, smelly, costly and dangerous. Instead, the latest solutions, like the ONEX 3500W Inverter Generator SC4000i( Item 159859) have a large, rechargeable internal battery and can handle multiple devices. Generators are especially ideal during outages. Some have built-in solar panels or one that can be attached to the unit.
