Yeah that tracks - Solid tips. I’d add that “lightfast” usually means ASTM I or II on the tube, and it’s worth avoiding fugitive colors like Alizarin Crimson (PR83) and Opera Pink. For a beginner-friendly, durable palette, try artist‑grade single pigments like Ultramarine (PB29), Phthalo Blue (PB15:3), Quinacridone Rose (PV19), and a Hansa Yellow (PY97 or PY154). Also, fading is about the finished painting, not the palette - use 100% cotton paper and keep works out of direct sun or frame with UV protection.

Check for power sounds when plugged in, and if it's silent avoid opening it since a blown fuse may be the issue... Hold the button longer and reseat the jar until it clicks into place before calling support.

Honestly, For bigger houses like yours, range is everything. Go for one advertising at least 2000 feet in open air and but remember that's not always accurate indoors. Thick walls eat up the signal. I've had luck with ones that have signal boosters or antennas but then works great. Test it out in your house if you can and some stores let you return if it doesn't reach.
