The phrase describes an outdoor lighting product, commonly available at a large home improvement retailer, that projects pinpoint beams of light, often green or red, to create an effect resembling stars scattered across a surface. These devices are typically used for holiday decorations or outdoor ambiance enhancement.
These lighting solutions offer a convenient alternative to traditional string lights, simplifying installation and covering a larger area with less effort. Their appeal lies in the ease of setup and the visually dynamic effect they produce, often saving time and reducing the physical demands associated with decorating outdoor spaces for holidays. Initially popularized for Christmas decorations, their applications have expanded to include general landscape lighting and event dcor.
