These are heavy duty lights

I’ve been wanting to get some outdoor lighting for the outdoor deck that’s next to our in ground pool for years but just never seamed to think about it when I was in store or ordering online. Obviously the lights needed to be waterproof. They would be going near the pool but under a pavilion. I also didn’t want to have to take them down in the winter time as that’s just a pain. I happened upon these HBN smart outdoor patio lights and thought to myself that it would be super cool to be able to…

Pros
  • ‎US Standard Grounded Plug and Connector
Cons
  • The app control may require an internet connection, which may not be suitable for all users

I have really mixed feelings about these lights, so I am going to list them:Pros:--lights are very durable; they look and feel expensive, and seem like they would hold up well to weather challenges.--there is a wide variety of color choices, so you can change them for holidays. This is the primary reason I wanted them.orange at Halloween, red/green/blue/white at the holidays, etc.--the lights are bright enough to serve as more than ambient light if you want them to. you can actually see to eat…

Pros
  • ‎1x36ft String+18×String Sockets +18×Acrylic Flat Bulbs +1×User Manual
Cons
  • The bulbs may emit a harsh light that is not suitable for some occasions

Lights are great overall as a single strand. I bought a 24' strand and a 36' strand and can't get them both to work as a group on the app (single control of both) - so frustrating! So every time we turn them on we have to click on each strand in the app to power on/off or to change any of the settings. None of the scenes work because of timing issues between the 2 individual strands on the app. The directions say to group them together to act as one long strand - I have tried multiple times and

Pros
  • ‎Wi-Fi
Cons
  • The design of the string lights may not match every aesthetic

Good only for decoration not as a source of lighting

Tried 2 different sets. They operate off of old 2.4 technology for wireless and they do not all sync together as multiple strings …. The set that does not sync is also not weather resistant and will need to be protected from water. Company is content to refund you but no accommodations for your waster time or mounting equipment. Don’t waste your money or your time

Pros
  • I had to get my Stepson to figure out the internet settings to allow 2.5g My settings were at 5G.
Cons
  • WORKED FOR ONE WEEK THEN JUST WOULDNT TURN ON.

Disappointed good for me

Greatly disappointed today with the string lights that I ordered. One of the bulb is missing. As you can see from the picture I attached. It’s not broken or in the box. It’s simple not there.!This is my third string of lights. I bought two 24 foot lengths and there are quite impressive. They are heavy duty and have a quality feel about them. They work great the app is easy to use. Which makes operating them with my phone and Alexa devices a breeze. I’d recommend these.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • The color-changing feature may be distracting for some

Alexa control is great!

Being able to turn the lights on and off as well as change the lamp color is great. It would be awesome if Alexa could set the lights to pre programmed scenes such as fading, multi color, "America”(red, white and blue) or dual color. You have to go on the smartlife app for those settings. It would also be better if you could choose white as one of the choices in the dual color setting. That being said, it’s a very nice light set that I would recommend. FYI, the mounting holes are spaced 23”…

Pros
  • ‎google_assistant, android, nest, ios, amazon_alexa
Cons
  • The installation process may be difficult for some

Be careful with manufacturing dates

Newer units going out appear in the app as a different style light than older manufacturing dates. Makes it so you cannot link them together. Newer manufacturing dates are also not working well with google home/google home app. Choose/say one color and does a different. Older unit works, but I have one light that is more vibrant/off color than the other lights (looks fine in multi color mode). Cable is thick which makes installation more tricky to hide/not be as noticeable. Can plug another…

Pros
  • ‎RGBW
Cons
  • The string lights may not provide enough coverage for larger outdoor areas

Great lights if the white was actually warm. But it's not.

They say these lights have a "Warm White" mode. This is incorrect. The white is neither warm (2700k) or even soft (3000k). They are closer to a cool white and that just sucks. You can kind of get a warm white using the color mode but the yellow color is more green than yellow until you hit orange. Even then, the light refraction from the lenses causes the light to split so you end up with bits of red and green in the light splashes which makes it look a bit off.In general I'm not unhappy with…

Pros
  • We love everything about these lights!! They are amazingly bright and last!!
Cons
  • The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity may be unreliable in some areas

These lights are very durable but frustrating to have a controller box on every strand when draping between hanging points The plug just keeps unplugging itself have to get ladder back out and replugin pain in the ?$&. My fifth strand stop synchronizing with the rest replaced with new set now four bulbs flash randomly what are the other set of the bulbs synchronize with the other four strands very frustrating I’m sending in them all back.

Pros
  • ‎110V-240V AC Input / 12V DC Output
Cons
  • The string lights may not be compatible with all Bluetooth or Wi-Fi enabled devices

Instructions Out of Date

The lights work really well and provide good light and are easy to control. The issue is that the instructions seem to be out of date. As written they are very hard to follow. I was eventually able to figure it out, but the instructions were not much help.

Pros
  • ‎24 Watts
Cons
  • The string lights may not provide enough lighting for outdoor cooking or dining areas

Great colors!: my feedback

Unlimited colors to choose from! A little tricky to install on iPhone but once it’s installed it’s awesome my Alexa can control it too!

Pros
  • 18 Acrylic Bulbs
Cons
  • The string lights may not be suitable for all climates or weather conditions

Stopped working after a mo.

Started to act up after a month. Now it blinks and doesn't work properly. I want a new set. Hopefully it was a fluke set. Please let me know where to ship theses back to for a replacement set.

Pros
  • 9 RGBW & Warm White Scene modes
Cons
  • The app control may drain battery life quickly

wi-fi enabled - my new review

The photo is 3- 24ft strings in a 10'x10' pergola. Seems to be plenty of light. Went up super easy with dedicated hanging holes. Practically automatically detected and installed to the "Smart Life" ios app by themselves. These are scheduled to come on and go off automatically. Worth the extra expense.

Pros
  • Had some issues with one the strings and HBN took care of it right away
Cons
  • Didn’t work no instructions box open no controller of zero use

Unplug during lightning storms

Love the lights they are perfect year around, careful for power surges I had to buy a second set mine got burnt. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Last 10 feet of it randomly turns on and flickers all the different colors
Cons
  • Item only worked for 1 use

Great lights, terrible for smart home control

Love the lights they work well but they could be a bit brighter.The lights do not work well smart home assistants. They turn on and off and you can dim them. But you can't change the color or mode. Trying gives you shades of green.

Pros
  • ‎Adjustable
Cons
  • The bulbs may consume a lot of energy

Smart Bistro lights that i control with my phone.

These light are amazing. The acrylic bulbs feel sturdy and they are attached to a thick wire. Set up on my I phone was easy. There are preset color schemes but you also have the ability choose any color on their color spectrum. I ordered 4 sets and i am able to control all of them with one remote.

Pros
  • Tools & Home Improvement
Cons
  • The string lights may not be durable enough for long-term use

Stopped working in less than 2 months.😞

Initially loved the lights. We brought 2 strands but 1 stopped working right after my return date closed. 😞 The company sent us a new set and I bought an additional set. We’re in Love again with these lights!

Pros
  • Lighting & Ceiling Fans
Cons
  • The acrylic bulbs may get dirty easily and require frequent cleaning

Good-looking: my feedback

In the outdoor with very good-looking, make romantic atmosphere, in the outdoor party is also very used, economic benefits, but also multi-purpose, also convenient to receive

Pros
  • Outdoor Lighting
Cons
  • The app control may not be secure enough to protect personal user data

On time delivery, product works as expected

Lights are expected. Would be nice to be able to use the scenes through Alexa vs. just being able to say a color and brightness.

Pros
  • ‎Wedding, Christmas, Birthday
Cons
  • The app control may be prone to glitches
