Moon In My Room

I used this for a while as the moon over my model railroad and it looked superb! I attached magnets to it so it could hang over part of the layout that had metal flashing on the wall behind it (used to 'round out' a corner of the backdrop). The only problem I had was that for some reason the thing would turn on by itself. I'd come into the room at night and the moon would just be on! It was kind've strange. I plan to get a battery adapter that will allow me to plug it into the wall to eliminate this problem. Oh, I also lost the remote control. This is less of a problem as you can still turn it on using the switch on the side - BUT you can't cycle through the different phases without the remote if you're at a distance from it...
