This light arrived well packaged and I was surprised at the size, it is much larger than I expected! It comes with a remote and the battery is included. Set up is easy and a yard stake is included so it can be anchored into the ground. The display is a beautiful snowfall, and there are three speed modes with one being "still". The wireless remote makes it very easy to set which mode I prefer. The coverage area is good, depending on what I want to project the snow light show onto. The light can be anchored closer and the coverage will be a smaller area or mounted further away for a larger area display. I use an outdoor extension cord with the light for this reason because I want to mount the light further back for a larger area display. However, keep in mind the further away it is from the object, the more "faded" the projected graphics will appear and the closer to the object the more clear they will be. I find either way to be very beautiful and this projector light definitely sets the Christmas mood and feel of the season! I'm loving this light and so are my neighbors!
