    Twinkly LED Lights: The Future of Holiday Magic!

    I’ve never been more impressed with a set of Christmas lights! Twinkly has truly redefined what holiday decorations can be. These lights are more than just beautiful—they're innovative, customizable, and endlessly entertaining. The setup was surprisingly simple, and the magic begins with the mapping feature. Using the app, I was able to precisely map every light in my display, unlocking a whole world of custom effects. From cascading snowfall to personalized color patterns, the possibilities are truly limitless. The app itself is user-friendly, with preloaded designs that are stunning, but the real fun is creating your own! Whether I wanted a soothing fade of warm whites or a vibrant rainbow explosion, the lights responded instantly, bringing my vision to life. Durability and brightness are also top-notch. These lights have weathered a few cold nights already and continue to shine brilliantly. Plus, they integrate seamlessly with smart home systems, making it easy to schedule and control them hands-free. If you're looking to elevate your holiday decor and wow your neighbors, Twinkly LED lights are the way to go. Worth every penny—and maybe worth a gift card win too!

    I’ve had Twinkly lights for my Christmas tree for two years, and I love them. The app is easy to use and there are a variety of predefined effects available to download. Some don’t work so well on a three dimensional surface like a tree, so I’ve been wanting to get a curtain. When the 400 light set came on sale, I decided to create my own curtain. I made a 5’x5’ matrix, spacing the rows 3” apart to match the spacing of the lights in the string. The Twinkly app then mapped the lights, and any desired effect can be assigned. The dots are different from the string lights. Each light is in a silicone button which diffuses the light, creating a softer effect. You can apply any of the Twinkly library effects to it, but when laid out as a linear string as I have down, you basically have a one pixel wide element. It results in some unexpected results with some of the effects. There were supposed to have been adhesive stickers for the dots, but my box did not have them.

    I was tired of buying different colors of string lights for each season, and "imagined" one that was app driven, that I could put on once, and change the colors at will (like wifi bulbs). Here it is!! I was thrilled to see these, bought 2 sets, and loved them so much I bought 2 more. I had NO idea what dots were, but love them, too, now that I have them. The app is stellar. (Apps tend to be a weak point with many wifi products.) The string lights were easy to pair with my home wifi, and the phone app is very intuitive to use. These lights are on steroids!! You have TONS of programmed options, all which you can alter and resave. It's easy to GROUP multiple sets of these lights together, and MAP them with you phone camera, and then create giant pattern across all the sets paired. AMAZING. (I paired 3 sets for this tree.) You can create your own light patterns, colors, and animation speeds (EASY to do.) Quality packaging, GREAT app, and very solid, well-designed product. (note, with the 9.5 foot tree in photo I used 3 sets of 400 lights.)

    Love these lights. They were easy to set up, fun to play with, look great in my front yard and I get lots of compliments for the Twinkle in my bushes. The colors for Christmas are perfect and I’ve set them up with automation in my Apple Home App. Great set of lights.

    I love these lights! It is surprisingly bright! So much brighter than any other Christmas lights I've ever seen. And the ability to program specific customizations is so cool! We spent hours playing with them

    The best use of my disposable income in a while

    In total, I've bought 2900 Twinkly lights in strings - 7x400 sets and a 100-LED set. The 400-light sets also each came with a USB-powered 60-light string, so I have 7 of those as well. At first, I bought these to throw on a coat that I was going to wear to an outdoor event. I connected them in haphazardly, then strapped a Jackery 290 power station to my butt under the long pirate coat I wore, and it ran them (and a 100-string on my hat) for a good 4 hours with only an 8W draw while I controlled it with a spare Pixel 3 XL phone running a hotspot (without Internet access or cell signal to boot). The special effects were insanely great - having apparel that pulsed and throbbed with the beat was a very novel idea to attendees, and it was attention-getting as can be. After that, I used four of these (1600 lights in total) on the front wall of my house to create a light display (and 2 sets in an alcove around the front door to make another 800-light display). ... and within 24 hours, I had the HOA leadership knocking at my door to ask me not to make it look like emergency / first responder lights. In response, I used the Twinkly desktop app to mirror Rick Astley's video of "Never Gonna Give You Up" on loop, then did the same with Wham's "Last Christmas" and Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You," all complete with audio on speakers outside the house. Considering that it lets you mirror ANYTHING you have displaying on a Windows PC, well... the possibilities are endless, and I can't but cackle evilly when I come up with a new one. Sure, you can argue that this is a HUGELY frivolous and unnecessary use of disposable income. Considering that I can leave this stuff up year-round, though, I consider it a VERY good use of mine.

    These lights are amazing every day we would change the colors. And we went from5 bins of Christmas bins with lights to one bin that isn’t even full. So much less space taken up. Expensive but worth it I hope they last at least 5 years

    Blown away by these lights. The designs you can display are very very cool. Installation is pretty easy. The app was the only issue I had where it didn't want to connect to the lights over WiFi at first but after many tries it eventually did.

    These are my third and fourth Twinkly light sets … The 400 light set I put outside and letting it just do confetti in a multitude of colors… The dots I’m using indoors as a decoration in my dining room… I have a 600 light set on my Christmas tree And a wreath that hangs on my front door that does a rotating swirl of color. I think the displays are brilliant.
