Smart Christmas lights are more expensive than both traditional and LED Christmas lights but offer a significant number of features that make them a compelling holiday splurge.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re so new and niche you may not have even heard of them yet, but smart Christmas lights are a very cool and very expensive holiday splurge. Are they worth it?<\/p>\n

What Are Smart Christmas Lights?<\/h2>\n

Smart Christmas lights, like plain old smart lights in general, come in two flavors. First, there are light strands that can be controlled by an app and are limited to just basic color changes, not unlike the bargain smart bulbs on the market. The slightly fancier versions might include a few color change modes or scenes as a trick up their sleeve, but that\u2019s about it.<\/p>\n

Then there are more advanced options a wee bit more worthy of the \u201csmart\u201d title. These options aren\u2019t just smart in that an app on your phone can turn them on and off remotely or change them from white, to red, to green. They\u2019re so much more advanced and can do gradients, shifting patterns, and even put on a full-out light show with dancing candy canes and more.<\/p>\n

And hey, while you\u2019re thinking about smart Christmas lights, don\u2019t forget that regular smart lights are the easiest holiday decorations around<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I still decorate for the holidays and string my tree with lights, but I lean heavily on my all-year-round lights, like my Govee floodlights<\/a>, to add some holiday cheer. Govee\u2019s new permanent outdoor holiday lighting<\/a> was so popular it sold out immediately.<\/p>\n

What Smart Christmas Light Options Are There?<\/h2>\n

Once you get past the \u201cthese aren\u2019t Christmas lights, these are just RGB light strips labeled as Christmas lights\u201d segment of the \u201csmart Christmas light\u201d market, there are currently only two major players out there in the A-list top-tier category.<\/p>\n
