Christmas is only a matter of weeks away and smart lighting does make a difference to your home. We first reviewed the Twinkly Strings last year and have since reviewed quite a bit of the brand’s range. So when I told the wife we were being sent the Twinkly Candles she was over the moon so we wasted no time to check these lights out.

First Impressions

When it comes to Christmas is there a thing of too many lights? Well, I would say NO. The bonus with the Twinkly Candles is they can be used all year long and add to your home decor. These lights offer a real pop of sparkle and magic to any room you decide to bring you that festive cheer with smart candle-shaped lights that can be turned into any colour.

The lights are available in 4 shapes:

  • Candle
  • Heart
  • Star
  • Circle

Cost wise they won’t hit the wallet either with them coming in at under £100 and available in two sizes and are also available in either clear or green cables.

100 LED – £49.99

200 LED- £69.99

The main features of these lights include:

  • Frame your lights and use your smartphone camera on the Twinkly App to create stunning visual effects.
  • Create unique effects with a vast array of personalization options, patterns, colors and animations.
  • Seamlessly link with all other Twinkly devices to create an extended digital canvas and mesmerizing, multi-product installations.
  • Voice Control, Sync with Music or Gameplay

Unboxing/ Design

The Packaging from Twinkly keeps that consistent look and makes you feel you are purchasing a premium smart light which is exactly what Twinkly are.

Take them out of the box and they feel light and portable taking away any concerns about installation. They come with a USB-C connectivity option which allows you to future-proof your device as we all move to a USB-C world.

Twinkly App

When you set up the Twinkly Candles you will have to install the Twinkly app unless you already have it from a previous purchase. Just like the rest of the brand’s products it’s not just as simple as switch on and go. You need to use your smartphone to map and frame the lights then the app allows you to play with the colours to create stand-out visual effects. Twinkly gives the user a massive colour spectrum of over 16 million colours so there is something for everyone.

Features

One of the main features of the Twinkly Candles is they do not need to be put back in the loft after Christmas. They can be used as a decorative lighting option that can be moved from room to room.

They are also smart home compatible so linking them to Alexa or Google Assistant can be done with ease and if you want to link them to your gaming setup they are compatible with the likes of Razer Chroma RGB or Omen Light Studio allowing for a more immersive gaming experience.

Last but not least you can even link them to Twinkly Music this will allow them to dance to the beat of the music you are playing turning your room into the nightclub feel you may have missed as you get older.

Verdict

Are the Twinkly Candles worth investing in I would say yes as they offer the buyer something different and add to that smart home decoration. They are easy to use and allow for customization via the app. So they will only add that extra bit of sparkle especially as we head into Christmas.

Are they the perfect lighting feature well they do come with limitations for example the LEDs are not replaceable and you can’t add additional sets to the same kit to make a larger display.

However, If you are looking for a set of affordable decorative lights then the Twinkly Candles will light up your life.
