Instead of just using the standard string lights to brighten up your Christmas tree consider adding some smart light strips. Most of these light strips aren’t very long generally 7 – 10 feet so you might want to just include these with your existing string lights to add a bit more flare.

You can also use these smart light strips to add color around other decorations in your home or outside such as around your hanging stockings, wreaths, nativity scenes, Santa Claus, well you get the idea.

Some of the more popular and best reviewed smart LED smart light strips are from Philips Hue, LIFX, and YEELIGHT. The great thing about these smart light strips is you can use them year round for different holiday decorating such as Halloween or just to add some lighting ambiance in your home or outside.
