Quntis 82ft 1000 LED string lights review – Light up your holidays

qunits 82ft LED 01

REVIEW – Several years ago, I strung together lights along my backyard fence with varying results. One strand wasn’t really for outdoor use and failed.

REVIEW – Govee has released a dizzying array of smart lighting products over the last few years, and I’m always a sucker for trying out new models in my house (often to the annoyance of my partner, she’s much less enthusiastic about adding RGB lights everywhere).

Rollin 17

REVIEW – When our house was built a little over two years ago, we thought we had all the light fixtures exactly as we wanted.  We paid extra to the builder to ensure we had recessed lighting instead of the basic ceiling-mounted fixtures they offered.  It turns out we missed a total of four lights.

Lytmi 6

REVIEW – Light strips that mount behind the tv have been around for a few years.  We had the original Philips Hue light strip behind our main TV years ago.  You could change the light strip color via an app or Alexa.  It was relegated to a single color.  Then there were the light strips
