Prototype Lighting Unit

The VL&P design uses standard USB input power and is compatible with most cell phone and tablet chargers. Our development design will light your village with sound and charge your phone and tablet!

The VL&P control unit provides On/Off switching for the units lighting and sound independently.  Sound capability includes volume control.  The final designs should include a snow mound with trees as well as a wall display (the VL&P controller is contained within those display items and is nearly invisible to your display).

The lighting unit(s) are being developed to accommodate the variety of Department 56  house designs: bottom and rear mounted lighting as well as the standard molded light receiver and the original ... hand cut ... light cut out shapes! The early designs (1977 through 1995) did not have any standard except that it was a hole in the house.

Also under development is a light unit that includes a high quality, miniature speaker to add sound throughout your village.  The design uses two channel stereo input ... so your village can include a  full sound experience.  Multiple units with overlapping sound tracks can bring your village to life. 

The VL&P lighting system will include the standardized wiring from our power adapter units so that an on/off switch from the SMP Adapter line is fully compatible with the lighting system.

The VL&P lighting system is compatible with any audio play system ... your phone, tablet, computer, any device that you can play music/sound on that has a speaker jack. Our development system also includes recordable MP3 devices or pre-loaded with sound tracks (or downloaded ... we are still evaluating this feature).
