Philips Hue is one of the first brands to spring to mind for most people when it comes to the best smart lights, and these Festavia String Lights do nothing to tarnish that reputation.

They're vividly colorful and have made a gorgeous addition to my Christmas tree this year, to the point where I've had them on all day, every day, as they're so aesthetically pleasing.

They offer both Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, making them easy to control, whether or not you have a Hue Sync box. They were also happily adopted by my Echo Dot, so now I can switch up the settings with just a few words.

Christmas is sneaking closer and closer each day, so I highly recommend jumping on this deal now.
