When Philips Hue’s Festavia lights are abstracted from their festive responsibilities, they make for a fantastic set of vibrant and vivid string lights. They come in three different lengths (though this varies by region) and feature Hue's famed vibrant LEDs, however, when used as tree lights or to bring some seasonal cheer, these lights lack identity and pale a little against some of the more affordable, festive-first lights.
For
- Indoor and outdoor
- Bright with bold colors
- Broad compatibility
Against
- Very expensive
- Black cord
- Lacks festive cheer
The Nanoleaf Smart Holiday String Lights are a much cheaper alternative to the Phillips Hue Festavia Christmas lights and are a whole lot more customizable. However, the app is less intuitive, there's almost a little too much you can do with them, and you can only choose from one length.
For
- Indoor and outdoor
- Great selection of scenes
- Broad compatibility
Against
- App is a bit wayward
- Black cord
- Some features are hard to find and use
