Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and CriticismPicked this up a couple weeks ago. just now got around to installing it due to other renovation projects. installed just like any other porch light. wires to existing outdoor box. Two wires, and a ground. All hardware and wireing included. Hooked transmitter up to Secondary sound Card on my PC. works like a charm. Transmitter is upstairs on the north side of my house, Lamp is ground floor on south corner of house, probably 200 ft away. Works Great, no static... speakers sound much better than i expected, i was pleasantly surprized. now i've got music on my pourch without draggin out boombox, or fussing with MP3 players/docks/radios. Great for outdoor linving spaces. RCA to headphone jacks included, also RCA to Female headphone jack included. Overall, install took about 20 min. Super easy.
