The Tarp
This minimalist tarp tapers in width to provide more coverage where you need it and less where you don't. The curved ridge and edges produce a taut, wind-shedding, pitch in the classic a-frame configuration.
- Tapered shape uses space efficiently
- Curved ridge and edges provide a taut pitch
- Recycled fabric option
- Silpoly won't sag when the temperature drops
- Lower water retention than SilNylon
- Reflective tie-outs
- Great for partnering with your Bug Bivy or our 1P Bug Shelter.
Tie-outs
Perimeter tie-outs are located at each end of the ridge (2), the corners (4), and the midpoints of each side (2). There are hang loops located at each end of the ridge (2), the middle of the ridge (1), about 12" in on the ridge at the head end (1), and about 10" in on the ridge at the narrow end (1).
There is an additional tie-out (1) on the ridge about 10" in from the narrow end to allow the option to pitch with an improvised rear beak. To make the beak, move the guyline from the rear apex to the shock cord loop on the ridge tie-out. We recommend using a fastline clip (included in the optional rigging kit). Stake out the rear corners so the rear edge is pulled taut between the corners.
Note that the color of the UltraGrid reinforcements may vary from what's shown.

- Bug Bivy: Y-zip, Chest zip, Ridge zip
- Wind Bivy
- Simple Tub
- Tub-floor

One of my favorite purchases ever.
Size: 11.8FT for 55''-65'' TV, Size: 11.8FT for 55''-65'' TV
So I bought this backlight a few months ago and it's been one of my favorite purchases I ever made on Amazon. Honestly, once you start using the backlight, it's so hard to go back. It makes TV and games just so much more immersive, especially when there are bright scenes and the lights flash, or when there are dark scenes and it just goes completely black.
The setup is really easy but it does take some precision to get it right the first time and to keep it working for a long time. And sometimes the things that stick the wires to the back of the TV do like to fall off. Although that may be a consequence of how my TV is built.
I think it looks best in a darker room where there's less space for the light to go away, especially when the TV is against a wall. But that's how I use it, and it's been just an amazing experience.
The app functionality is also pretty good, although I don't use it as much these days and I just keep it in TV syncing mode. The lights can get really bright, so if you want to, you can use it as a separate ambient lighting for your room. Although personally, I think that's too much effort and I just use my lamp.
Coming from someone who uses his TV a lot, if you're on the fence, just get it

Movie lighting must have.
Size: 11.8FT for 55''-65'' TV, Size: 11.8FT for 55''-65'' TV
This is exactly what it was in the listing. It was very easy to install they stick to the back of the tv very well. The lights strip is good quality and they wont fall off the tv even from the heat.. The app is easy to use. Will say there are a lot of options to control it from the app. Once the control box is behind the tv your not going to be reaching back there to turn it off and on. I have mine connected to Alexa and Google so i can control them with my voice. They look great for watching movies even in a somewhat lit room. Be mindful of the camera on the top of the tv I did have to calibrate it 7 times cause it wasn't picking up all the corners and i accidentally hit the camera while walking around if your tv is on the wall you have nothing to worry about unless you have my first issue of it not catching the corners properly. The little orange squares don't stick too well especially since i had to do this several times. Even tried it without the squares and still had problems. The video was recorded after the second time of calibrating it. The problem comes when you try to get the hue right. Everything white makes the lights turn red so i had to mess with the saturation and the white balance on color calibration feature on the app to get it as close as possible to the white on the tv and its still something i have to adjust ever time i watch something.(Shown in the second picture)

Amazing!
Size: 11.8FT for 55''-65'' TV
I absolutely love these lights. I will never go back to no lights again haha. Perfect for movies, shows, video games. Also super easy to get it installed. The only issue we ran into a little bit was the app and trying to get the tv shape and layout registered.

Great product , I was not too sure reading some of the reviews but luckily I didn’t have to calibrate mines it was working just right out the box, but it was easier installing than I thought . Just take your time and should be a breeze and well worth it , works way better than I had hoped , lights are extremely bright

Rather pricey.
Excellent vacuum, but I couldn’t justify the price knowing I have another Miele vacuum that works just as well as this one. My current Miele is 27 years old, works perfectly with all attachments, and only cost $20 several years ago. Hard to spend $500 for what I already own. However, if my current one fails, this will be its replacement.
