Installation
The box contains the following items:
Holiday controller and string of
globes
—The Holiday controller is the
‘brain’ of Holiday by MooresCloud. The
controller should be placed
somewhere it is not shielded by metal
objects (such as trash bins, fencing,
etc) that could block its WiFi signal.
Attached to the controller is a seven
metre (23 feet) string with 50 Holiday
globes.
Power supply
—the power supply is composed of
two components—the switching power supply and
the mains power cable. These are already connected
together for your convenience.
To assemble Holiday, plug the power supply’s output
cable into the Holiday controller, then plug the mains
power cable into mains power.
IMPORTANT:
Holiday by MooresCloud has elements
that are designed for outdoor use—that is, they can
be rained on—and elements that must be kept dry.
The controller and power supply are certified for
indoor use, and must not get wet. Getting the
controller or power supply wet will void your
warranty.
The string of Holiday globes is weather-
resistant and can be rained on.
Operation
Holiday by MooresCloud contains a powerful but
easy-to-use computer. Like all computers, it takes a
bit of time for Holiday to ‘boot up’. While Holiday is
booting up, here’s what you’ll see:
• Lights in red, green, blue and white animating
their way up the string;
• A blue-green animation as Holiday looks for a WiFi
network to join;
• A green-blue animation as Holiday tries to join a
WiFi network;
• (Sometimes) A rose animation as Holiday creates
its own WiFi network.
Video of the Holiday boot sequence can be viewed at
holiday.moorescloud.com.
Using Holiday via the Controller
The controller on Holiday by MooresCloud has
three buttons:
The
Mode
button allows you to select a pattern
or animation from a range of pre-programmed
options. The
button also acts as a ‘soft’ on/off
button.
To turn the unit off, hold the
button
down for 5 seconds.
To turn the unit on again, press
the
button again.
The
Up
button and the
Down
button allow

a colour, a team, or the speed of an animating
pattern.
Holiday comes with four programs accessible
through
button selection, and an ‘Off’ mode:
Colourwheel

and
buttons, set
the colour of all the Holiday globes to any of the
colours of the rainbow.

Holiday by MooresCloud creates its own WiFi

Holiday through its own WiFi network.

Holiday Care and Maintenance
To ensure years of enjoyment with your Holiday, you
need to follow some simple guidelines:
• Keep the controller and Power supply dry. While
the Holiday globes are fine in wet weather, the
controller and power supply will malfunction if
they get wet. Keep them well away from wet
weather and water.
• Holiday should not be placed into an environment
where the temperature will drop below -10C (14F)
or above 50C (122F) for any length of time.
Sustained exposure to temperatures below -10C
or above 50C will cause Holiday to malfunction,
and will void your warranty.
• When not in use, store Holiday in a cool, dry
environment.
• If the Holiday globes become dirty, gently clean
them with a damp cloth. Do not use bleach or
other strong chemicals to clean your Holiday.
