Colorful, mood-changing LED setups have become commonplace inside tech-obsessed houses everywhere, but ilumi, a Dallas-based company backed by the inimitable Mark Cuban, is now working on outdoor LEDs with even better functionality. Bringing the dazzle of color-shifting LEDs outdoors is fantastic but ilumi has upped the ante by also including Bluetooth Mesh connectivity and an intuitive app, letting users choose their lighting without having to move from their Muskoka chairs.
Since the Smartstrip is digitally addressable, each of the outdoor LEDs can be controlled independently from the others. Users can set themes and patterns for whatever mood is right, be it your team colors for the big game on the patio or a sultry tone for a romantic evening at home. Smartstrip's outdoor LEDs are also easy to install, whether indoors or out, by simply cutting the desired length, peeling the adhesive backing, and sticking them anywhere.
