Review on HBN Color Changing String Lights 36Ft Smart LED String Lights Outdoor RGBW Patio String Lights Waterproof IP65, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi&Bluetooth App Control 18 Acrylic Bulbs Work With Alexa Google by Carl Estell

I really don't like these

I wanted to use them to light a gazebo. For that application, you need to be able to walk up and push a button and have the lights come on in some reasonable configuration - i.e. normal white.Instead, you walk up, push the button and it comes on in some colorful configuration that you can cycle to everything EXCEPT normal white. Lose power? Start over. To use the App to set the color, you have to handicap your router so that it only operates in 2.4Ghz mode. I never actually did this because once I read this, I decided to return the lights.This might be good for people who only want to use these as Christmas lights on a schedule while connected to outdated wifi routers. It didn't work for me.

Pros
  • ‎RGBW Color Changing
Cons
  • The string lights may attract insects
