    Still learning how to use them. I have a beautiful sprawling Japanese Maple that I think I will populate with one string. Will use to celebrate various holidays, NC State wins, etc.

    These made the tree an endless source of entertainment. Setup on the app was seamless and provided hours of fun both with the built-in effects but making up our own.

    Game changer; Expensive but worth it

    I love these lights. The lights and the app are outstanding. Zero issues getting them connected to WiFi (2.4 GHz with standard channel width). Second year using these. Bought another strand from Best Buy this year to extend what we used last year. There is nothing like these lights on the market today. You can try to DIY this, purchasing light strands, a power source (driver), and a controller, but the huge gap for DIY is there is no app, and no way to map lights for custom displays. Twinkly is all in one, using led lights similar to DIY. The key difference is Twinkly includes a powerful app to custom program the lights. Another huge benefit: Twinkly can map the position of each light bulb, which allows for custom and animated light displays. You can endlessly program the lights - colors, intensity, patterns, etc - from the app, making your holiday display unique each year (or as often as you’d like). Highly recommended. This is a solid product.

    These are more than just 'twinkly lights' - with the help of an app, which maps out the location of each LED, you can have it display many colorful patterns. Get it if you want to up your game.

    Their Design Makes them difficult to use

    Having the plug in the center of the strand makes tgem very difficult to use. End to end traditional design would be much much better. Waste of $200+

      Hi there!
      The product is described on the website to be in two strands, for technical purpose to guarantee always the best performances possible despite the extra length of the cables.
      In any case please consider that you can simply spread open the two strands to use all the length, mapping the product, in fact, the effect will work following your layout 😉

    Love, love, love these lights. It was easy enough to set them up and apply all the different light patterns and displays with the app. I used an iPad instead of my Android cell phone. My first set was up at Christmas 2020 outdoors and stayed up for 2 months with no problems. It's a little challenging to take them down because of the tangling wires. Have patience! They are worth it. Loved them so much I bought 2 more 600 light sets and a 250 light set!

    A little complicated to map, but necessary for future Lights changes. Lights are bright. The lights must be plugged directly into an ourlet (no extension cord!) In order to work with smartphone. At least this set of twinkle lights comes with electric plug in and conrroller

    connectivity/configuration nightmare

    I bought these looking forward to a really nice configurable set of lights, for which i certainly was willing to pay this price. i got a set that doesn't connect to WiFi (i have a mesh network, but even when i turned off the 5 mHz portion of the network the app won't find the lights even though i see it in my network configuration app). i then tried direct wifi connection to the string lights, but the password isn't even provided in the app - i had to go to the customer service portion of the website in order to find that. when i finally direct wifi connect to the string lights, the app still doesn't see the light set as an option. wasted an hour of time trying to get these to work. without the app, there are almost no control options, and one certainly is not able to configure different strobe/light patterns. get your stuff together, twinkly.

      Hi there, and thanks for your feedback!
      Connection issues could depend on several different reasons, usually though, not strictly related to the app.
      The fact that the device connects via direct network, shows that it's not a hardware issue.
      We'd like to look into your case though, to understand if we can improve your experience, so please get in touch at twinkly.com > help > contact us, we'd like to help! twinkly

    Great product for customized rgb Christmas lights. Just be sure to double check the lengths you need. These are not plug n play to each other like the old school lights.
