The Alpine Red Metallic Tree Stake with Red LED Lights, model CRD128RD, is a decorative outdoor lighting product designed to enhance garden and outdoor spaces, particularly during festive seasons like Christmas. It functions as a garden stake adorned with multiple branches, each featuring red LED lights, creating a vibrant and festive display.
Technical Specifications:
- Dimensions: 24 inches (Length) x 24 inches (Width) x 39 inches (Height). This compact size makes it suitable for various garden settings without being overly obtrusive.
- Lighting: Red LED lights are integrated into the branches, providing a bright and energy-efficient illumination.
- Power Source: The device is designed to be plugged into a standard electrical outlet, indicating it operates on AC power.
Usage Features:
- Easy Assembly: The product is designed for straightforward assembly. Users are instructed to untie the wire wrapped around the tree topper and spread open each individual branch. The bottom of the tree then inserts into the ground stake and is secured by tightening a knob on the side of the stake.
- Outdoor Placement: Once assembled, the stake is inserted directly into the ground, allowing for flexible placement in gardens, lawns, or other outdoor areas.
- Instant Illumination: After assembly and placement, the device is simply plugged into an electrical outlet to activate the LED lights, providing an immediate decorative effect.
- Decorative Purpose: Its primary function is aesthetic, offering a festive and eye-catching element to outdoor decor, especially suitable for holiday seasons. The metallic red finish of the tree stake itself contributes to its decorative appeal even when the lights are off.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: The manual implicitly suggests the importance of keeping the unit clean, as "failure to keep the unit clean, and use of such additives/cleaners, will also void the warranty" in the context of water damage for other Alpine products. While not explicitly detailed for this specific product, general outdoor decorative item maintenance would involve periodic cleaning to remove dirt and debris.
- Storage: Although not explicitly detailed for this product, the warranty information for Alpine products generally advises against improper storage that allows water to freeze within a product, as this can cause damage and is considered negligence, not covered under warranty. This implies that for longevity, the Red Metallic Tree Stake should be stored in a protected environment during off-seasons, especially in areas prone to freezing temperatures.
- Paint and Color Retention: The manual notes that "the use of water will cause natural erosion to the color" and that "all finishes with time will gradually fade and discolor." While the paint is designed to protect the finish, users should be aware that some fading is natural over time. The warranty covers severe or complete fading within the first year. This suggests that while some color degradation is expected, significant issues within the first year are covered.
- Branch Manipulation: The initial assembly involves spreading open individual branches, indicating that the branches are somewhat pliable, allowing for minor adjustments to achieve the desired aesthetic.
