one set isnt enough
||Posted .Owned for 4 months when reviewed.i started off with one set for my 7.5 ft tree.. it looked good, but I wanted to have enough lights to land a plane from space.. So, we got a 2nd set of 600... 1200 lights sounded like the perfect number, but i went with my gut and bought another 250 to put Clark W. Griswold to shame. The app is neat where you have a lot of different presets to add to your personal strands. There are more than just xmas-- you can do Halloween, Spring theme, or a US FREEDOM theme as well. Our favorite was the candycane dance theme.

Twinkly lights.
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I totally loved it. I created a Christmas tree on my wall with just the lights and a few decorations and it looked wonderful. I have a dog that loves getting under a real tree and he brings it down when he gets down, so this new faux tree was the best thing. It has different patterns and light. Could not get it to work on my phone, but it did work on my daughter's. Not sure if it is an Android/Apple issue

Holidays and more
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I love this brand lights!! The patterns they make with the app are amazing! This summer I added these outside in our trees and put them on a twinkle pattern , slowed it down to look like fire flies. I have several strands and the smart xmas-tree!! The packaging is awesome too.

Lovely
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Honestly one of the better purchases I made in awhile. Are they expensive, yes! But they work just as advertise, just make sure the follow the instruction and you will have no problem at all. The only thing that was a bit confusing was mapping the tree, once I realize you just take mapping pics (within the app) from every angle of the tree (the instruction don't really say to take pics of more than one angle), it was a piece of cake. These lights also don't get hot like traditional lights.

Get the dopest tree you ever had
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I’ve never sent so many videos of my Christmas tree before. These things are amazing. Mapping was easy, the app is okay, Alexa integration is pretty terrible but easy enough to set a timer and just run it through the app as long as the strings don’t lose connectivity. Updating the firmware was kind of a pain because they kept losing their connection. Once I uninstalled and reinstalled them a few times all was well. I have 2 of these 600 light strands on an about 9.5’ tree, I could probably find room for a few hundred more but even with only 1200 it looks amazing.

Fun customizable string lights.
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I randomly ran across this line of “smart” lights last week and picked up a couple of the 100-light sets to mess around with. I’ll say up front that I’m very happy with them. Here’s a few random notes on my experience. The first thing I wondered was exactly how long the lighted portion of the string actually is. The specs for the 100-light set is 26.25 feet. I’ve attached a photo showing the distance between each light is 3 inches. With a 100-light set, there’s 99 spaces between each light, meaning your actual lighted length is 24.75 feet. Upon first plugging in the lights, I was very pleased with how bright they are. I don’t see an official listed brightness anywhere off a quick google search but they’re definitely sufficient. The colors are extremely vibrant and show very well in the dark. On an iPhone 13, I didn’t really have any issues getting them connected. On the first strand, I did have to try it a couple of times, then restart the app to get it to go, but I believe that’s because I had already launched the app and had it searching before I held down the button on the lights to put it into findable mode. The app doesn’t seem to like searching before there’s something to search for. On the second strand of lights, I first put the lights into findable mode and then launched the app, no problems. I was within a foot of the lights with my phone and they read each other fine. My two strands of lights are wrapped around the two small columns on my front porch so I really can’t comment on the scan. I did do a scan but since they’re just wrapped around, it seemed kind of pointless, so I deleted it. There’s more than enough patterns built-in and downloadable to keep me entertained and switching it up every night. A few of the patterns rely on a “curtain” of lights but a lot of them still look good just randomly wrapped around my porch columns. Of note is that by default, it considers the very last light on the string to be the “top”, so if you’re doing effects like falling snow, then you’ll want to mind how you hang your lights vertically. Lastly, there is a somewhat hidden “sync” option on the last tab of the app. Where I had two strings of lights, I couldn’t initially find a way to make them do the same thing at the same time. I set them both individually to the same pattern, which was changing through colors, but they were going through different colors. After I couldn’t find a way to link them, I instead starting trying to time when to turn the second string on so the colors would get close. I eventually found the small chain icon in the upper-right of the last tab of the app that lets you link strings together, which solved my problem. The only thing I wish was here was a way to control the lights when I’m away from the house. The only time the app works is when you’re on the same Wi-Fi network as the lights. This is completely understandable because there is no hub or software to be able to talk to over the internet, but it would be nice if it were an option in the future. I’ll come back and edit my review later if anything goes wrong, I’ve only had them for a week.

Posted .Hello Josh!
Unfortunately, it's not possible to access the lights from your phone if they are not connected to the same wifi.
But, you can manage the lights from two or more phones, using the same account, and remember that you cannot keep two apps open, on two different phones, at the same time.
Another option would be to use a temporised plug to turn them on and off, they will do that with the last applied effect.
You can also control them through home assistants like Google or Alexa.
If you need any additional help or clarification you can contact our Help Centre, via the dedicated section on our official Twinkly website. Hope this help!

Another hit by Twinkly!
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This is our 3rd set of Twinkly lights that we now own and could not be happier. We put these outside our house and paired them with a set of the 600 light strands. The way the app was able to map the lights was almost magic. I was so impressed how well the effects worked. Definitely will be expanding my Twinkly collection this year.

Q: QuestionIs this plug in located in the middle of this set? Like the 600 set? Instead of at just one end of the lights?
Asked by plugin.
- A:Answer That is a unique way of thinking of it, but you are correct: From the plug, there are two separate strands of lights. It is not one long continuous strand. There is a long lead from the plug to the start of the lights. I have a 10’ tree and have zero issues getting the lights to the top of the tree.

Q: QuestionI was looking for lights to put on our outdoor gazebo. I am looking for lights that you can make red for Valentine’s Day, or green for St Patrick’s day and keep up year round. Do these do that?
Asked by Kelly.
- A:Answer Yes. That is exactly what these lights do...and much more. I highly recommend you also purchase the Music Dongle. It allows syncing to music via its Bluetooth/WiFi microphone. Lots of fun!

Q: QuestionWill these lights be able to turn completely white if we wanted?
Asked by Clay.
- A:Answer Rgb lights use a combination of the 3 colors to produce a whitish color. Twinkly has done a fantastic job of making it very close to white... However.. if you buy the 210 count curtain lights... They are RGBW. With a dedicated white diode for brilliance. In my opinion.. both types look fantastic. And the creativity allowed with this product is almost endless once you understand how they work. Buy a few sets and by the time you have set them up.. you will have a pretty good understanding. Tip.. the more lights you have close together... once mapped... the better your effects will be. Tip 2. Map your lights using your phones camera from multiple angles . (Choose 3d mapping) once at least 95% of the lights have turned green... that strand is complete... do the same with each strand.. once complete.. you can sync them by creating a group.. once you have your new group... Map the new group.. it will allow for more complex effects and greatly increase the accuracy .. so you can tell whats going on. Ex. Make an American flag effect ( all effects are free downloads. Or make your own and loop them.

Q: QuestionIs one set of 250 enough to cover an average 7ft Christmas tree?
Asked by ScottS.
- A:Answer I had only one 250 light set and it looked really cool and my tree was 7 foot but two of these strands or a line with 600 lights would be even more impressive. The lights are very bright so adding a second set would make the tree even more memorizing but at 100 bucks on average or 350 for a 600 strand that is pretty expensive... If you a pro who sets these up professionally then who cares what it costs, the lighting effect would get you noticed..

Q: Questionare they cuttable? what is the maximum number of bulbs that can we connected together?

No physical connection is needed, the whole process is managed by mapping the lights on the Twinkly app through your Wi-Fi network. Twinkly lights cannot be modified or cut.
