PROSThe lights look amazing, the preset effects are already very beautiful but you can also create your own quite easily with the app, and program a sequence of effects in detail.These lights made a big difference compared to 'vanilla' lights, they're a bit pricy but if Christmas is important to you then it is certainly worth it.CONSIn order to get the best out of the effects you have to use the advanced setup and have a clear 360 degree view of the tree, so you must consider that when setting up the tree. In order to get good resolution on the effects you might need to use more lights than you would with regular lights. In my case 400 lights for a 4ft real tree were sufficient.

Take a bit of setting up correctly but once done they are great lights

Love the lights can’t wait to use them with my other ones I had from last year . Love the fact that I can control by my phone .

These are the best Christmas lights I’ve ever had ! These are quite expensive but worth every penny in my view . After a little trouble setting them up , I got to connecting to Wi-Fi network phase and the app just stalled , this happened a couple of times ! I did a factory reset by holding down the button on the control box while plugging the lights into the mains socket , this sorted the issue , also there were a couple of lights which were a different colour to the rest on first setup but the factory reset sorted this problem too . Even with these issues the lights were setup in under 20 minutes, I will definitely buy another set next year to add to the twinkly family in my home

Not a great start with these as the first set I ordered arrived with a 'Type F' (two pin Germany) power supply rather than a 'Type G' (three pin UK) power supply. Amazon soon put that right the following day. I got them out to test them still (coiled in their wrapping bands) and they worked perfectly. They joined my bluetooth on my phone and subsequently joined my WiFi network and even sync'd to audio via the Twinkly music dongle I purchased at the same time. They're nice and bright and really can do all the colours except... any form of "warm white" (they all have a strong hint of another colour in them). And that's when it dawned on me... when I don't want my Christmas tree to be a "night club", can I just have a nice, simple static warm white...? And the answer is... spend the extra and go for the RGB+W version. So I have and returned these. They were great. Easy to set up and worked flawlessly (I know I didn't actually set them up on a tree but even in their wrapped state, you can tell these are fabulous). But for absolute versatility, RGB+W. They do it all.

I’ve had other brands that performed similarly but these so far feel like a step up in quality. Certainly look great and build quality feels good. Hopefully they’ll survive a few weeks a year outside and will carry on working for many years.Only reason for 4 stars is the cost… it is a lot of money to spend on Christmas lights

Easily the worst set of lights I've ever tried. Hideously expensive too for what they are.Firstly mine were faulty - lights set to a static colour were randomly flickering.Secondly, the colour shades were sometimes wrong - some yellows had an orange tint for example.On top of that, the app is a pain to use and it's difficult to find settings as you need them. You can spend a stupid amount of time moving from setting to setting trying to find what you're after.Other than the above, the smartphone app requires information that I don't wish to give - why does it need my location for example? Why do I even need to login in the first place? Why does the app NEED Internet access every time I use it???I also don't like the overall colour of the lights - irrespective of what they are set to, the glare is harsh and 'unnatural'. It literally hurts my eyes, even on a low brightness setting.Extremely unimpressed and disappointed with these lights which some people rate so highly. I had really been looking forward to buying these but my disappointment is almost immeasurable. A complete waste of money, or it would be if I wasn't able to get a refund from Amazon.

The media could not be loaded. Best Christmas decor as you could build your own light setting using the Twinkly apps.It’s durable, worthy for the price and highly recommend for who looking for an alternate Christmas light.

Product is great, up to expectations, but they should reconsider their prices
