LED light strips are a quick and affordable way to add a professional, festive or moody ambiance to any room. You can create aesthetic rooms with LED light strips, accentuate certain elements of the room or add a practical benefit, like putting undercabinet LED strip lighting in your kitchen. You can even use outdoor LED light strips to illuminate a patio, add a splash of color by the backyard fountain and help guests see their way up the porch stairs.

When choosing the best LED light strips for you, consider the length you need, the color options you want and how compatible it is with other smart home technology you may have. It also wouldn’t hurt to research what to know before buying a smart lighting system, helping ensure that the addition of your new LED light strips goes as smooth as possible. Many strips are compatible across multiple brands, but you can make your search easier by filtering the options. You can choose categories like Google Assistant LED light strips, Amazon Alexa LED light strips or Apple HomeKit LED light strips.

To make the most of your LED tape light setup, connect it with your smart home system. You can easily control today’s LED light strips by using voice commands with a smart speaker or display. You can also turn them on or off as well as change colors and other settings through your smartphone or tablet. This feature is particularly handy if you’re not home, but you don’t want your house to look empty. Additionally, you could also brighten your entryway with outdoor LED light strips, making sure they illuminate security measures put in place, like smart doorbells or security cameras and surveillance.

Ensure you have a good Wi-Fi and networking system in place for everything to work with ease. For more spacious homes, you might need a Wi-Fi extender or mesh Wi-Fi to avoid dead zones. You can also expand the fixtures that are controlled remotely or through your smart speaker by installing smart bulbs or by plugging lamps and lights into smart outlets and switches. Consider doing this and using LED light strips for rooms without built-in overhead lighting. You will make it easier to turn everything on or off without having to walk around to each lighting fixture individually.
