Smart Outdoor String Lights — 144ft RGBICW Patio Lights, 45 Bulbs
Product description
Per-bulb RGBICW color and warm white: Each LED bulb can display an independent color while also supporting a 2700K warm white output. The bulbs deliver up to about 100 lumens apiece, making these strings suitable for both ambient and accent lighting.
Expandable length: The set comes as three 48 ft strands that can be linked together for a maximum run of 144 ft (total length must include the power connection). Each full kit includes the LED ropes, a weatherproof control box, and the power adapter.
Creative scene and color options: Choose from 47 built-in scene modes and a palette of 16 million colors to craft moods for parties, holidays, or quiet evenings. A DIY mode allows you to build and save custom effects for later use.
AI and smart controls: Use the companion app to control color, brightness, scenes and schedules. An AI Lighting Bot feature can generate effects from voice, text, or a photo. These lights also work with popular voice assistants for hands-free control (app update may be required).
Durability and placement: The string housing and control module use anti-UV materials and carry an IP65 rating for resistance to rain and splashes. The adapter is not fully weatherproof and should be kept indoors or mounted in a weatherproof receptacle/enclosure.
Rugged construction and lifespan: Bulbs are shatter-resistant and designed to withstand temperatures from about -20 °C to 60 °C. LEDs are rated for up to 25,000 hours of operation under ideal conditions.
Music sync: An integrated microphone enables real-time reaction to music, turning tunes into dynamic light displays for parties and gatherings.

So fun — perfect under-deck mood lighting
We hung these beneath our deck to brighten the patio and they’re fantastic. Setup was handled by my partner, who prefers tech, and now he can change colors from his phone or via voice. I love texting him to cue a ‘show’ for guests — it’s unexpectedly entertaining and really livens up evenings.

Stopped working far sooner than promised
I bought multiple products from this brand but these strings failed after about 1–2 years despite a 25,000-hour rating. At typical nightly use that’s a small fraction of the advertised life. I followed support steps and requested a replacement but was denied because of how they were installed outdoors. Very disappointing.

Excellent support and quick replacement
I installed these on our pool enclosure and loved the AI features. After nearly a year some bulbs went out; I contacted support through the app and received a response quickly. Replacement lights arrived within a few business days. Customer service handled it very well.

High quality and reliable app
These are worth the investment if you want dependable, customizable lighting. The color options are extensive and the app keeps everything simple. I’ll be adding more soon.

Water got into a bulb
One bulb filled with water and the whole string quit working. I reached out to support and they sent a replacement within a couple of days — very impressed with the response time.

Moisture issues after months outdoors
Disappointed — several bulbs collected water and roughly half stopped working in under a year. In some cases I even saw algae buildup. Not what I expected for outdoor lighting.

Huge upgrade for our backyard
These totally changed the vibe of our yard. The RGBIC effects are vivid and smooth, and the app makes switching colors, scenes, and schedules effortless. Setup was quick with no hiccups, and the wide range of scene modes means I can go from cozy warm white to bright, festive colors in seconds.

Fun at first, later connection problems
I absolutely loved these at the start — the app is user-friendly and the preset scenes are great. Neighbors even complimented the display. Sadly, after a few months they stopped connecting to Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth and I couldn't easily swap out the connection module. Support through the app is good, but losing the lights was frustrating.

Best lights for seasonal and everyday use
Everything about these is great — adjustable for holidays, practical for nighttime pet outings, and fun with preset colors and patterns. Setup was straightforward. Highly recommend.

Lovely on my gazebo
I mounted these on a gazebo and enjoy the scene options and adjustable flicker speeds. The app reconnects instantly when it shows disconnected, and the lights survived the first rains without issue. They really enhance the backyard ambiance.

Easy to mount, works well with Alexa
I installed these using a separate hanging kit and used zip ties through the integrated loops — no sag and they look tidy. Warm white brightness is just right and color changes respond instantly to the app and Alexa. Dimming is smooth for late-night hot tub sessions. No reliability issues so far.

Works fine once mounted properly
I haven’t used mine much yet, but friends with the same setup report no problems after installation. Seems reliable when installed correctly.
