They scare the crap out of me too. When you hit the unfold button. What if someone came running up or something? It'd kill 'em.

I actually seen something like this you could order it was something you put on the light that buzzed when it changed colors don't remember the name though

Ours just have an up and down switch. We unfold them manually.
It's still wise to keep people back when doing that though.
