There’s nothing more festive than a Christmas tree adorned with lights and decorations, but a set of smart string lights can turn your tree into a shining, twinkling showcase. But which should you buy? To find out, I set up my Christmas tree this year with three sets of smart lights — Philips Hue, Govee, and Nanoleaf — to see which made the holiday season the brightest.
To find out which I liked the best, I evaluated them on a variety of factors: Cost, the number of lights, ease of setup, and the degree to which you could customize the lights to your liking.
