The wheel was easy to assemble. It's made out of cheap stuff, but if you're careful, it goes together easily. I was able to tighten the adjustment knob enough to keep it at the angle I wanted. So far, the motor is quiet. I used a 50-watt CFL flood light bulb, and it shines through to the tree nicely. Doesn't produce deep color, but I've never seen one of these lights that does.

I was given an Old Pom Pom tree, I got this light and was disappointed that the color wasnt darker more vivid when it lights the tree. it has to be angled just so and is top heavy so makes it hard to hold angle. I think you could use a spot light with colored bulb and get much better effect, altough the color wouldn't change, Color would light up the tree better.

Picture viewed on website is a cartoon depiction. No where near reality. Color hue is weak and difficult to notice the changes. There are only 2 different models of color wheels available to purchase. Both models lack the vibrant color that I remember as a kid, intently watching the aluminum trees cycle through the color changes. Does anyone know of a manufacturer that produces a product as good as the ones in the 60's?

The Item we received was the "Kurt Adler Early Years Color Wheel" The unit seems to be very flimsy and the lenses are smooth and very pale. We are returning this to Amazon and ordering a different unit. This is not the item we ordered.

At least i got a color wheel, but it certainly wasn't the one that was pictured. It is flimsy and cheap. This is the one I received: Kurt Adler Early years Revolving Color Wheel Red/Blue/Green/Yellow Kind of glad I got this one and didn't have to pay $55 for it, but it would be nice to get the product that I ordered.

This Color wheel is really nice and does a great job with silver trees! It's built sturdy enough, takes only a couple of minutes to assemble, and has worked problem free all through the Christmas season. Make sure to use a mini spotlight instead of a regular bulb and the tree will light up nicely! Very satisfied with this light!

Excitement about this product quickly turned into disappointment. No matter how much we fiddled with it it refused to keep turning - which is the main point of having it. Plus, the colors were not that vibrant anyway. We sent it back. Amazon gets full marks for making the return process so easy.

I bought this item against my better judgement, after reading not so favorable reviews, I still purchased this color wheel hoping that it would be fine. I had a beautiful tree and couldn't wait to have it illuminated by this reproduction of a color wheel. Well, much to my dismay, I opened the box, plugged it in, it turned maybe twice and then began sticking and completely stopping after each turn. I immediately placed it back into the box and returned the product for refund. It wasn't easy getting the refund either, practically accusing me breaking the cheap immitation of a color wheel. I FINALLY received my refund and did buy another color wheel that is over 50 years old and is working outstanding. still spinning after all these years. my advice would be thanks, but no thanks on this product.

so very disapointing.

Great Item and service. Will order from this vendor again. Future customers should highly consider this item and vendor. Thanks!

I have spend many Chrstmas's looking for a electric color wheel. We grew up with a silver tree that my mother purchased sixty years ago. I have not used (put the tree up) because the color wheel that came with it sixty years ago would not work any more.
