PRODUCT OF THE MONTH

                                                     The ViewSonic® M1

   ViewSonic M1 854x480
   WVGA LED 250lm 16:9 Portable Projector

THE VIEWSONIC® M1 IS AN ULTRA-
PORTABLE WVGA LED PROJECTOR THAT
DELIVERS CONVENIENT ENTERTAINMENT
IN NEARLY ANY ROOM.
With a built-in battery and over 30,000 hours of
operational life, this projector will deliver years
of multimedia entertainment wherever it goes.
Weighing less than two pounds, the M1’s compact and
lightweight design makes it ideal for moving from room
to room, or for indoor/outdoor usage.
An integrated smart stand provides for simple
360-degree setup, while also doubling as a lens
cover. Once the lens is uncovered, the projector
automatically powers on with full brightness for instant
entertainment. The lens also features a safety auto-off
feature that powers down the projector when objects
are detected too close to the lens.
Dual Harman Kardon speakers provide crisp and clear
sound for multimedia content, while a short throw lens
can display large images in small spaces. What’s more,
versatile connectivity options include a MicroSD card
slot, USB Type-A, and USB Type-C – making the M1
a great option for sharing and displaying videos and
other multimedia content.

      SURPRISED ME TO BE                     NICE PACKAGING,                           LOOKS HAND MADE.
      INDIVIDUAL PIECES                      ALREADY BROKEN INTO                       So refined and smooth.
      RATHER THAN A BLOCK.                   BITE SIZE PIECES WHICH IS                 Melts in your mouth.
      Very strong caramel flavour.           COOL.
      Nice and smooth but overly sweet.      Yummy smooth, slightly softer in
                                             the centre which was great.
                                             Taste was great but is a small block of
                                             chocolate for the price.

                                                                                                                   TOP

      Strongest chocolate flavour.           GOLD PACKAGING LOOK                       LARGE BLOCK.
      Very smooth and creamy.                FLASH, THE SIZE OF THE                    Creamy and dense.
                                             BLOCK LOOKS GREAT.                        enjoyable taste.
                                             Rich and creamy taste, nice
                                             firmness to bite.
                                             Worth the price, no palm oil which
                                             makes it very appealing.

Turn any wall into a light switch

With Resene SmartTouch, there’s no more stumbling in the dark trying
to find your light switch.

How it works
The Resene SmartTouch S1 controller allows control of mains powered
lighting directly from a surface coated with Resene SmartTouch
conductive coating (the Active Area). Decorative layers, such as
Resene paint or wallpaper, are applied over the Active Area, providing
an invisible touch-responsive surface. Different Touch Commands
are able to control different functions. The system is comprised of a
conductive S1 controller, and the Smartlink cable.

The S1 controller features
•   Lighting control
•   Touch commands
•   Discrete installation
•   No light switch required
•   Built-in timer

How to Buy
You can buy the Resene SmartTouch controller from your local wholesaler and the
Resene SmartTouch conductive coating at your local Resene ColorShop.
