Anywhere Ya Want, That's Where!

BECAUSE THIS THING CAN LITERALLY GO EVERYWHERE! Don't waste ANY time - get to scrolling down and checking out everything in this newsletter! You're gonna love ALL 5 deals!




You Have Had ENOUGH!

Those Dark Rooms Are Drivin' You NUTS!

But Don't Spend $150 On A Brand New Lighting System!

JUST GET THIS "ANYWHERE" LIGHT FOR UNDER $5!!

3 Super Bright LEDs - No Wiring At All!

Just Pick It And Stick It...

ANYWHERE You Need It!

Closets, Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Attics, The List Never Ends!

No Tools, No Wires, No Trouble!

LET THERE BE LIGHT!

Don't Just Sit In The Dark!

You've tried and tried and tried!

That room, pantry, closet, attic, wherever. No matter what you've tried it's STILL not getting the light you need!

Every time you're in that area you stumble into some hidden furniture, or knock over something expensive, or just can't find what you need!.

IT'S LIKE YOU'RE FLYING BLIND!

You'd LOVE to light that place up but you asked for a quote for some new lighting and they sent you back some CRAZY numbers ($150?! $250?! Are ya kidding?!)

YOU AREN'T ALONE - THE SOLUTION IS FINALLY HERE!

3 LED Lights. No Outlets. No Wiring. NO ASSEMBLY!

This is like one of those inventions that has EVERYONE saying "Oh man, I should've thought of that!"

It's so simple and that's why it's so incredible!

Imagine being able to walk into that dark closet, hallway, pantry, garage or anywhere else you lack light...and being able to turn on 3 super bright LED lights with the tap of your hand! That's what this does!

And it's unbelievably easy to use, too. There's no assembly required, no electricity, either. This runs on batteries that last FOREVER (due to the efficiency of LED bulbs). In fact, you don't even have to use tools to hang it!!

Universal LED Lighting - Tap Technology!

Remember - this is 3 LEDs we're talking about! It's bright and efficient sure, but going ANYWHERE? You don't need wiring, light sockets... anything! Wherever you want this light, just stick it in place! FINALLY!!

Tap It On! Forget about looking around in the dark for the switch. Don't worry about a pull chain. All you have to do to turn this thing on is tap it! It's fast and easy without having to scour for that tiny switch!

Tool and Hardware Free Hanging - Pick it & Stick it!

Yep - the old pick and stick. That's the first thing you'll notice about this light. There's no need to drill it in. No need for tools and messes. Just stick the adhesive backing anywhere you need light, and it's hung!

If there's ANY room in your home that doesn't have wiring and you need BRIGHT light, this is EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED!

Works perfectly in your car, too!

That's right, it's self adhesive, so you can stick it on the inside roof of your car for a FAR better light than that weak yellow overhead bulb.

We spend a lot of time in the car, and this awesome feature shouldn't be overlooked!

It's Also QUITE the Looker...

It's an elegant looking light, as you can see. So if you'd like extra light in a common room like a kitchen or living room, you don't have to worry about an eye-sore!

This light is sleek and slim, and there's no ugly chain hanging down. Couple that with the stylish color, and you're looking at a nice, fully functional piece of LED art! Seriously, hang 'em in the kitchen and people are gonna think they cost a fortune!

And Speaking of Costing a Fortune - This Does NOT!

Hey, this is Worldstart you're dealing with, not some big box store! Your price for this super versatile, super bright light?

Just $4.97 with FREE US SHIPPING on any order OVER $5!!

This amazing offer is ONLY good for today, so order now!

Let's Turn On Your Brand New HDTV...

...Wait, It Still Looks Awful!?

IT'S BECAUSE YOU NEED HDMI CABLES!

With Normal Cables, You Aren't Getting REAL HD Quality!

Get The Hi-Def You Paid For!

"What's That Special Connector For?"

It Locks Your HDMI Cable In Place Too! FINALLY!

Set It Up ONCE And It'll Stay In There - Guaranteed!

You Won't Find THIS On Dime-A-Dozen Cables!

HDTV Without and HDMI Cable: What a WASTE!
If this has happened to you, don't worry - you're not alone! You finally get that HDTV after suffering through years of blurry, fuzzy sports games and television programs. Good for you! So you bust through the door, give your old TV a swift kick in the...antenna, and immediately set up your shiny new piece of technology...

Then the depression sets in...because you flip it on, get it programmed, and the picture looks no different than that old TV now cowering in the corner with a bent antenna...what's going on? Did you just burn $1500 or so?
NOPE - YOU JUST NEED AN HDMI CABLE!

Whether your new HDTV is LCD, DLP, Plasma or anything else, your picture will remain blurry until that HDMI cable is hooked up. Once it is...it's like heaven in a box!

Seriously - Other cables simply can't provide the bandwidth you need to get HD video to your TV at full resoultion.

Bottom line: if you've got the HDTV, you MUST have an HDMI Cable!

And if you've got an HDTV hooked up and ready to go, do you REALLY want to have to get back there and fiddle with it later?

If your HDTV has locking ports, you can use the simple twist locking pin to hold your HDMI cable in place! That means no risk of it getting tugged out, damaging your TV, cord, and preventing you from having to rummage back behind there!

The Price is RIGHT!

Here's a simple equation:

Box Store Price: $49.99 - Worldstart Price: $4.97

What make more sense to you?

Same cable, same quality. Which one are you gonna choose? Oh - and for anyone who would like some proof, go ahead - observe! I snuck into my local Best Buy, and THIS is what I found - and this is only a 4' cable - ours is 6 feet!

Bottom line: If you've got an HDTV and you're not using an HDMI cable, you're not watching HiDef TV - you're really not.

Finally - A Little Sanity!

This 6 foot HDMI cable is just $4.97!! AND US SHIPPING IS FREE on all orders over $5

Anyone with an HDTV who's not using a cable is like a guy who won't drive his Ferrari past 25MPH! Grab one today!

STOP!

Don't Drill Holes - Don't Spend Big $$$ On a Wireless Routers!

You Can Use Your AC Outlets As High-Speed Internet Lines!

"What? No Way!"

Yes Way! You Gotta See This!

Amazing Adapters Let You Transfer Data Through Your AC Outlets!

Plug Your Modem In One, Your PC In The Other...

Get "Wired" Ethernet Across The House INSTANTLY!

No Drops - No Complications - No Security Risks!

Internet Anywhere - No Dropped Connections!

It may have been YEARS ago when your high-speed Internet connection was installed. And one thing is for sure: you don't want to be FORCED to setup right where that cable is!

But what can you do?

You can't just drill holes left and right to run the cable somewhere else! And even if you CAN - do you really WANT TO?!?!

You may have tried wireless... but talk about an effort in futility! You spend all that time trying to setup and sync your devices, only to realize the connection is SLOW, it drops all the time, and in some cases it won't even connect at ALL!

HERE'S SOMETHING I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW!

You can hook up your Ethernet through ANY of your power outlets!

This isn't a joke, and it's not some kinda trick - you just need these two little adapters and a modem!

It's really that easy!

Use your existing wiring to transfer digital data just like physical network cables! NO CONFIGURATION REQUIRED!

Talk About REAL High-Speed "Power!"

When you have these hooked up, they actually use the current wiring in your home to transmit the data between adapters, allowing you to use your outlets to bridge the distance between your modem and computer!

So maybe your modem is installed downstairs... now you can get Internet upstairs without having to do any construction work or trying to buy, install, and configure a router!

It completely circumvents the need to run additional cables, and prevents you from having to struggle through setting up a wireless connection!

Even better: this is WAY more secure!

Think about it! If you have your router setup with WiFi, anyone can communicate with it from outside the home! Sure, you may have it passworded (hopefully) but even those can be cracked!

With this, it runs the data right through the wiring ALREADY setup in your home! No data just "floating" around to be picked up by any old hacker! And that's not the only benefit...

Full Speed Ahead - This can get data transmission rates up to 200 Mbps! Most homes have upwards of only 50 Mbps max... so for 99.99% of users, that means you maintain the same high-speeds you've always had!

Connect Everything!

While this is great for the Internet, it allows all KINDS of networking! Since the adapters transfer data of all kinds through your wiring, it can work with PCs, Internet, printers, NAS, and more!

It's literally "plug and play" which means all you have to do is plug these into the wall, and hook up your devices to them! There's no extra steps, no configurations.

There's 3 lights on the side of the adapters that let you know that it's on, if the Ethernet is working, and if data is being successfully transferred! Talk about simple!

The box includes instructions that explain setting these up PERFECTLY! Not that there's much to do (if you've plugged devices into the wall before, you're already an expert!)

Genius Device Comes At a BRILLIANT Price!

So, routers cost upwards over over $100, right? And that's not including the stress and time you spend getting them to WORK!

Well guess what: this adapter set is only $34.97 with FREE US SHIPPING!

And since setting it up is a cake walk - you're gonna save HOURS of time on top of it! Talk about the ultimate package deal!
