    I think the product overall is great. The length of the cord at the end of the lights makes it easy to find a suitable outlet. The only downside is you can’t plug the lights into each other. For a need to use multiple strands, you have to consider extension cords to plug them in.

    Twinkly integration issues

    Product on its own performs as described. Trying to integrate it with an existing generation one product (Twinkly tree), is not so easily done. (I still have no success at this point). The product's website only offers pre-scripted q & a's. Still awaiting e-mail response from main site in Italy. Wil resubmit here, if that experience produces something informative or informational.

    The effects are really nice and the 3d mapping works extremely well, once you get it set up. If you don't have an IOS device, do not buy. Luckily my girlfriend did(and I read this fact before buying). For some reason the mapping in their app will not work on Android.

    Fun, I used these lights on my Christmas tree. Just left it on the setting that rotates through green-yellow-orange-red from top of the tree to bottom with some bright white “sparkles” to make the tree look like it’s glistening a bit. Didn’t bother with the music matching because it wasn’t impressive the first time I tried it.

    Great product lots of potential but oversights

    First, I would like to say that the technology of this is quite amazing; however, not sure if this is quite ready for prime time. Let's start with the good. The fact that you can simply hang the lights however you like and then 3D map them is quite good. However, the bad is that the cord is a "Y" shape with 300 per side and no way to physically connect the lights to each other. Meaning, if you have multiple strings on a large tree you must connect each to their own individual outlet and run down the trunk. Next, creating the 3D mapping seems easy enough until you get to some of the effects that have distinct shapes (i.e. batman, countdown, santa, etc.) in which the system either puts the effects too low on the tree where you can't see them or in the case of the countdown puts it on the back of the tree. There is no way to define the "front" of the tree despite several mapping attempts and trying to use the advanced mode. Probably the biggest concern at the moment is after a MUSIC firmware update the device no longer works with music. The music driver settings were completely removed and replaced by ones that have no response to the music/sound in the room. It worked for the first 10 or 15 minutes until the software update. Overall, most of the effects are very impressive. The 3D mapping process is very sensitive to reflections in windows, and somewhat to the amount of light in the room. A great product with a lot of promise. Hopefully some software upgrades will address the shortfalls. Finally, do not expect to be able to make your tree just white. The diodes in the LED's are not equipped for this and the result is a very bluish white with not every LED bulb looking the same. It's pretty sad that a $250 light string can't perform basic white. You must get the "special edition" which I cannot see in the 600 just yet. This is a pretty big oversight in my opinion.

      Thanks for sharing your review!
      Your experience can be helpful to better explain certain aspects of the product.
      The characteristic Y shape of the strings from 250 LEDs upwards and the need to create virtual groups allow you to take advantage of much higher performance. If you have any special installation needs, don't hesitate to contact our Help Center (via the dedicated area on our Twinkly official website) and we will be able to suggest the best solution!

      Regarding the application of certain effects, such as countdown, batman and santa, they are designed for 2D surfaces, like facades or walls, so they are not suitable for tree layouts, which have their own dedicated effects.
      Anyway, here below you can find a couple of suggestions to achieve a satisfactory result:
      perform a 2D mapping , start the mapping from a different angle (maybe the one you would like to be the central part of the effect) , rotate the tree.

      Regarding the dongle issue, we can do an ad hoc check, so please contact us!

      Finally, it is good to know that with all the LED profiles it is possible to recreate white, in your case it is an RGB string, so white is obtained from the result between Red, Green and Blue: it will not be a pure/warm white, as in the case of RGB+W profiles, but you can still obtain a good result by playing with the FX creator palette.

      I hope I have been helpful for you and for the whole community,
      best regards twinkly

    Twinkly warranty support experience

    |

    Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Twinkly customer support for a failed string is too complicated. Twinkly claims a one-year warranty period - but it takes significant user effort to access. When one 600-led string was unboxed and tested - it failed during the app-forced firmware update. The failure was such that none of the usual LED sequencing at power on occurred, and even the reset function did not restore normal power-on behavior or functionality. This failed state was obvious visually - and clearly a DOA/update failure case. We were also able to swap power supplies with another string to remove that possible failure cause. Based on this, we expected an efficient and quick warranty replacement process. The initial request for support ended after minimal interaction-stopped by a demand for purchase receipt that could not be provided immediately. Twinkly units don't have externally visible identifications to aid tracking, and the internal data available from the app is not supported as an alternative for age validation. Later contact with Twinkly support via email (once purchase was documented) involved a rather complicated exchange involving more than one video - and a twice-repeated request for data from their own app that was impossible to produce - because it was non-existent. The videos were not easily provided by email due to their size - so technical acumen beyond average was required on our end to edit and shrink the raw cell-phone video file. This exchange might be argued as reasonable for general diagnostic troubleshooting - but based on the specific facts of our case they were overly complicated and overbearing on us as users. Twinkly did promise to replace the string after the post-proof-of-purchase email exchange. My opinion now: It appears Twinkly does not have USA-based support (parts of email responses included Italian). There may have been some language or culture differences at work in this experience. The flavor of the interaction suggests the company culture includes an elevated level of distrust of customers. Even after providing a receipt more than one video of string behavior was required to document the failure. When a competitor to Twinkly products appears - product support can be a meaningful part of their competitive advantage. Twinkly could improve their support if they wanted to - technology and business practice offer excellent alternatives to their current practice.

      Dear David,

      we tried to trace your support request, but we are not sure if we were able to find it, since we do not have all the relevant details.
      However, I can tell you that we generally replace all defective products under warranty (subject to verification of the purchase receipt and proof of the malfunctioning, as for any other shop).
      Please note that Twinkly does not require the customer to return the defective device for inspection, so our user satisfaction team must necessarily depend on the documentation provided by the customer to confirm the defect and activate the warranty replacement procedure.
      Clearly this requires more time, but it guarantees a comfortable service, since, as we said, the customer is not required to send the device back, but we rely on a simple, but thorough, remote inspection.

      Finally, keep in mind that the communication process is in English, as all our operators are native speakers, and that Twinkly is also based in the USA.

      In any case, the Support service remains available for any clarification or need. twinkly
