Budweiser Red Lights!

[FLYLine27*]

My friend has one and I saw it live in action this weekend and its awesome! So I just spent $187 (including shipping) on it! Goes off right when they score a goal and adds more excitement to the room

It's a neat novelty but nearly $200 seems ridiculous imho.

Won't disagree with that

Wasted money, very likely, but it will be fun when it goes off haha.

Great for a bar!

Ya you hook it up to your wifi.

I was considering getting one until I realized I'd probably be spending $2 per goal for it to go off all year

 

[aufheben]

Gonna be pissed if the Rangers go on a mysterious goal drought all of the sudden.

 

[LeafsLegendAkiBerg]

That's good. I always heard there was a delay but it looks like they fixed it.

$2 a game isn't so bad.

I made my own. I got an old lamp, threw away the lamp shade, got a red light bulb. I just have to flick it on and off when my team scores and make the buzzing sound myself.

 

[TheGoalJudge]

Thank god I didn't get this thing. Would be going off 24/7 in my house.

I saw a red light in the Bruins ProShop for $75 (and they virtually always have some kind of sale if you're patient enough to wait for 2 weeks) that plays the goal horns for all 30 NHL teams. Here's the same horn on Fanatics - with their 20% sale, it's $60:

Here's another one for $48:

Yeah, you have to press the button to make the goal horn go - but I'll take the extra $100 and go to the Garden live a couple of times.

Also, the goal horn on the one I linked supposedly can be programmed to sound like the one at the Garden. Get your iPhone cued up to the right part of Kernkraft 400, and you're all set!

 

[RoyalDuder]

I hear these things are pretty delayed for most connections.

 

[Wild11MN]

Is it really almost instant? I'd be a little skeptical of that, though the videos made it look like it went off immediately. I would love to have one if it really worked, though.

but you have to set it off yourself?

So its just a light with a recording?

no where near the same thing. I mean yeah the budwiser one is too damn much...
But it at least has value cause you just set it off to the side, and it goes off.

If you gotta go press a button... What your gonna watch games with your goal light in your lap pressing it in celebration? Your gonna do that twice. The whole season. And for $50, thats actually a way bigger waste.

There's a remote for the ones I showed...and I figured the delay for the real light would be pretty significant - although the videos here show that that's not the case. (If there's a 5 second delay, you could always pause your DVR by 3 seconds - but then you run the risk of premature goalulation if the delay goes away.)

I also do have an attachment to hearing MY horn, as opposed to a generic buzzer....but I do have to say, the Budweiser Red Light does look cool! Surprised nobody else thought of it sooner....and I wonder how long it takes the NFL to copy something like this.

 

[Hackett]

I'm really surprised how the siren is pretty much going off in real time in those videos.

 

[Got One Cup]

$187 for that? I mean it's cool but damm that's crazy.

 

[Colin226]

Can you make it light up manually? They have a disclaimer that it may eventually not be supported anymore and I would hate to spend all that money and have it be useless at some point.

 

[Shakey Rustie]

Yeah but it says Budweiser on it...

They're great when they go off on time. A friend had one, and the goal didn't register until 2 AM.

 

[lightningfanqc]

My light is always in advance : 3-5 secs before live TV...and at least 40-60 secs when I'm on NHL gamecenter on my xbox one.....so i see in the future hahah

Reminds me of my trip to Amsterdam
