String lights have become so much more than Christmastime decor. You can now buy lights for nearly every season and holiday — purple and orange lights are sold at Halloween, for example, and red, white, and blue lights are sold around the 4th of July. But even if you love the look of string lights, setting them up and then taking them down for each holiday is a hassle and probably deters a lot of people from using them more often. So why not put up just one strand and let the light colors change themselves?
This set of Smart Color Changing Lights from YIQU on Amazon offers an endless variety of colored light options from pre-programmed color matches like green and red, red and white, and purple and orange, to an option where you can find your perfect custom shade on the ROYGBIV scale. These lights are totally controlled via app and smart remote and you can even group strands of lights together so you can easily turn all your lights on at once, or go section by section.
And with the fun music setting, you can even program your lights to “dance” along with your uploaded songs. That’s great news for those who like to go all out for Halloween and Christmas!
Color Changing Smart Lights, 200-LED Strand
“The look is gorgeous,” one Amazon reviewer wrote. “Love the color of the light emitted. Rather long. Great value for the cost. I plan on buying at least two more. We’re using these outside to light our backyard … They are fun and cute and throw [a] great amount of light but not overwhelmingly bright. Super durable. Highly recommended.”
And although it seems like you may have to be a techie to get these lights to work for you, other reviewers say that operating them is actually super simple. “These lights are easy to use and look great.” another person wrote. “I wanted something to leave up and not have to switch lights between the holidays. This string changes colors. There are preprogrammed holiday lights or you can create your own. You have the option to use a remote or download an app. The app allows you to schedule when you want the lights on and off. The remote offers a timer.”
“These lights are very high quality,” someone else added. “Nice heavy cord, [and] water-resistant lights and adapter … I like the spacing of the lights on the cord. The remote is awesome [and] very intuitive. I ran them through my Kill A Watt and they draw 6.2 Watts while on a solid color and 5.8 watts when in a flashing or pulsing mode. These are a good value and very nice. Recommend.”
Save yourself time and money through the holiday season and set up this single set of lights from YIQU that will last you throughout the upcoming holidays and beyond! They’re currently on sale for just under $32, so grab them now and change the decorating game.
