App Controlled Christmas Tree Lights with Star Topper, 400 RGB LEDs

Twenty strands of color-changing LEDs hang from a single ring at the top of your tree, under a star that glows warm gold, and every one of the 400 lights takes its color from an app on your phone. One evening the tree wears rings of soft color, the next it shows a big white snowflake, and on the nights you want a classic tree it simply glows warm white.

No winding a string round and round the branches. No single color for the whole season. You drop the strands over the top, spread them out, and choose the look from the sofa.

Every light on the tree is its own dot of color

Ordinary tree lights give you one color, or a chase that looks the same every night of the season. Here each strand carries 20 LEDs, and because every strand hangs from the same ring, the lights line up in 20 level rows around the tree. Each LED is controlled on its own. Together they work like a simple picture made of dots.

In the app you can color the dots one by one on a 20 by 20 grid, or pick from 11 scenes, 44 patterns and 68 animations. Pictures come out bold and blocky, like cross-stitch rather than a TV screen, so simple shapes work best: a snowflake, a star, a heart, a candy-cane stripe or bands of color from top to bottom. You choose from up to 16 million colors and set the brightness and speed to suit the room.

It comes on at dusk and moves with the music

Set on and off times in the app, and the tree lights up in the evening and goes dark after you have gone to bed. Nobody has to remember. Six music modes use a built-in microphone, so the lights pulse along with whatever is playing, which turns a quiet evening or a holiday party into something people stop and watch.

The included remote handles the everyday things, like switching on, changing colors and running the effects. You only need your phone when you want to draw something new, and if you have more than one tree, several sets can run together from the app.

Two lengths, for indoor or outdoor trees

The set suits trees from about 4 to 7 feet. The strands come in two lengths, 70.9 inches and 82.7 inches, and the longer set is the one for taller trees. The strands run down the slope of the tree, not straight down. So measure along the outside, from the top to the lowest branches, before you choose.

The lights are rated IP65 and work from -4 to 104°F, so a potted evergreen by the front door or a tree on a covered porch is fine. They run from a USB plug and a plug-in adapter, and both should stay indoors or under cover, out of the rain. Put it up once, and the tree becomes something you change whenever you like.
