I love holiday lights, but putting them up is so tedious and annoying. Not to mention dangerous depending on how tall your house is — especially in freezing weather. Putting up permanent outdoor lights that can be controlled via a remote control or app is one way around this. You can choose from millions of color options and preprogrammed decorative effects for various holidays. If you’ve ever shopped for smart outdoor lights, you know that they are expensive.
Unfortunately, Cyber Day is now behind us. However, there are still some pretty outstanding deals leftover, including $110 off Twinkly permanent outdoor lights, bringing the cost down to $190 on Best Buy. This post-Cyber Day deal is only live until tonight, so act quick. Prefer Amazon? You can score them for $100 off instead of $110 like Best Buy.
This set is for a 72-LED light set that stretches to 98 feet. The lights can be customized from soft white to vermillion to emerald green — and a whole lot more. There are 16 million colors to select from. Using your smartphone, you can map the lights and choose preset effects or animations, or you can customize and design your own.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
The lights are controlled through an app, or you can sync them to your Amazon Alexa. You can set custom timers for when they turn on and off, so you don’t even need to be home to light up your neighborhood.
They offer an IP65 rating, making them weatherproof and suitable for year-round use. Once installed, you can just change the colors with the seasons.

Why this deal matters
The luxury of being able to install outdoor lights once and then customize them to your heart’s content is just that — a luxury, especially because sets like these can cost hundreds of dollars. Finding a decent set at a reasonable price is rare, but thanks to leftover Cyber Monday deals, this is one to consider. Just don’t wait long. Cyber Monday is officially over, and so will this deal in just a few hours.
