Lumary smart RGBAI Permanent Outdoor Lights(Model E)

I decided to gift these to our neighbor to replace the 30+ year old (not so good looking) string lights they had around their patio/hot tub. Since this view is right outside our kitchen window, I thought it would be helpful for them as well as for me and my wife. I helped put them up and it only took about 20 minutes to clean the soffit and string the lights. We were both really impressed with the end result.

You don't really see the light pods, but rather the beam they cast on the wall. That's why it's important decide on the distance from the wall and stay consistent the entire length. We used a small piece of Styrofoam as a jig. The adhesive on the pods is "the good stuff", so make sure you have it placed correctly before you press it on! The finished look is beautiful once you get the right colors for your space.

I also helped my neighbor install the Lumary app and gave him a brief overview (I have several Lumary products of my own). He will have plenty of time to sit in the hot tub and explore the thousands of settings possible in the app.

These permanent outdoor lights are great! They are easy to install, bright, and the app is intuitive to use for set up and changing the color. There are many other options out there, but I chose these due to my previous experience with the company. Last year I purchased outdoor string lights and 2 sets of landscape spotlights. Those products have mostly served me well, but I did have to reach out on 2 separate issues, and the company promptly responded and sent me replacement parts in warranty. All four products have been cheaper than the competing products. I can't yet speak to the durability of these outdoor lights, but I have had no issue with the other products in nearly a year of use. Highly recommend!

The Lumary Permanent Outdoor Lights are a fantastic addition for those seeking versatile and durable outdoor lighting. Heres what stood out:

Pros:

Bright and Vibrant Colors: With 36 LED lights spanning 50 feet, these lights provide vibrant RGB colors that can easily be customized to fit any occasion, whether it's for daily use or special accent lighting.

Multiple Scene Modes: The ability to switch between different lighting scenes is a huge plus. The pre-programmed modes add a fun dynamic, making it easy to change the mood, whether for a casual evening or a festive event.

Smart Compatibility: These lights are Alexa-compatible, so you can control them hands-free, which is a convenient feature, especially when your hands are full or if you want to integrate them into a larger smart home ecosystem.

Weather Resistant: Rated IP65, the lights are waterproof and weatherproof, so theyre perfect for long-term outdoor use, handling rain and snow without issue.

Easy to Install: Installation was straightforward, and the length was enough to cover a sizable area. They are perfect for mounting along eaves or other outdoor structures.

Cons:

App Connectivity: While the smart features are great, the app could be more intuitive. There were occasional connectivity issues that required resetting the lights or re-pairing with Alexa.

Brightness Settings: Although the lights are bright, more precise brightness control would have been nice, especially for subtle ambient lighting.

Final Verdict:

The Lumary Permanent Outdoor Lights are an excellent choice for anyone looking to elevate their outdoor space with customizable, durable, and smart-enabled lighting. Even with the flaws if the app sthe moment i feel its a 5 star product, since the app can be improved easily. Overall, they're a great investment for year-round outdoor ambiance.

Im a big fan of Lumary products, and these outdoor lights dont disappoint. The lights offer fantastic options for accent lighting as well as festive patterns for the holidays. The Lumary app makes controlling everything super easy, and I love that they also work with Tuya if you prefer that route. The quality is top-notch, and everything syncs beautifully together!

It’s nice not having to jump through hoops right before Christmas to put lights up I just turn them on I use them for every holiday even the white for standard accents.
