Our Story

We got sick of beautiful Aussie backyards going dark at night — so we went looking for a fix

No electrician. No ladder. No half-dead fairy lights by Christmas. Just one weatherproof projector, one plug, and about 60 seconds to turn a dark backyard into a sky full of green and blue stars.

We'll be honest with you about how this started, because it wasn't a boardroom or a spreadsheet. It was a backyard.

A few of us here have always fussed over our outdoor spaces — the garden beds, the pots, the little projects that are never quite finished. And every one of us kept running into the same quiet disappointment. You spend the weekends getting the yard looking lovely. The plants come along. The lawn comes good. And then the sun goes down, and all of it just… vanishes into the dark. All that work, gone the moment you'd actually want to sit out in it.

We talked about it more than grown adults probably should. Why is it so hard to make a backyard look beautiful at night? Not "fine." Not "lit up enough to find the bins." Genuinely beautiful — the kind of thing that makes you stop at the back door and just look.

The frustration

What we kept running into

So we went looking, the way anyone does — and it was a bit deflating. You could string up metres of fairy lights, balancing on a wobbly chair, only for half of them to die by next Christmas. You could buy cheap solar stakes that glowed weakly for an hour and gave up. Or you could get a quote from a sparky, feel your stomach drop, and quietly file it under "one day."

And the cheap laser lights floating around? We tried plenty. Most threw out a flat, dense wall of a single colour — a harsh green smear that screamed "bargain bin." It wasn't beautiful. It was the opposite of the soft, magical thing we had in our heads.

We didn't want bright. We wanted beautiful — and almost nothing out there got it right.

The dream

What we actually wanted to create

We had a picture in our heads, and we got stubborn about it. We wanted you to walk out your back door on an ordinary evening and feel like you'd stepped somewhere special. Thousands of tiny points of light — not one harsh beam — scattered soft across the whole garden, like someone had pulled the night sky down low over your lawn. Reaching into the trees, across the grass, over the fence line. The sort of thing that makes the kids go quiet and the guests pull their phones out.

And just as importantly: we wanted it to be for everyone. Not a luxury install. Not a wiring job. Something a renter could set up. Something you could afford and have running in the time it takes to make a cuppa.

The breakthrough

How we finally cracked it

It took a lot of testing, and a lot of duds, before we got to the one that made us stop. The secret was the colour and the spread. Instead of a flat single green, this projects green and blue together — and that mix is everything. It's what turns a cheap-looking gimmick into something that genuinely looks like a starfield, with the whole garden covered in points of light.

Then there's the reach: one unit covers up to 40 metres of garden from a single power socket — so it isn't lighting one corner, it's washing the whole space. And setup is about 60 seconds: stake it in, point it, plug it into a normal outdoor outlet. No wiring, no ladder, nothing to untangle. It's weatherproof too (rated IP65), so it lives outside through the seasons.

The first time we set the final version up and stood back — that was it. The thing we'd been chasing the whole time.

One last thing

We made this because we wanted everyday Aussies to have a backyard worth sitting in after dark — without an electrician, without a ladder, without spending a fortune. If your yard's been disappearing into the dark every night, this is the fix we wish we'd found years ago. Stake it in, plug it in, and go stand out there with a drink. We think you'll get why we couldn't let this one go.
