My wife loves this. It’s her favorite addition to our display for this year. My personal opinion is that it’s more of an indoor decoration, mainly due to the mini-Santa. I just think he looks kinda dumb outside. Plus we don’t have a chimney so why does he need to get on the roof?? We have him climbing a wall to a ledge. Why does he need to be on the ledge?? Mind your business, that’s why! It’s super-bright. We just have it set to the “always on” setting to avoid seizures and such, but you do you. We like it. Don’t feel like we got ripped off and it should last forever using it inside.
