I love holiday lights, but I don’t love installing them — especially in freezing weather. Putting up permanent outdoor lights that can be controlled via a remote control or app is one way around this. Permanent smart lights give you millions of color options and come with preprogramed decorative effects for various holidays. If you’ve ever shopped for smart outdoor lights, you know that they are expensive. Luckily, Black Friday has some pretty outstanding deals, including $101 off Twinkly permanent outdoor lights, bringing the cost down to $199 on Amazon. It’s still an investment, but one that may well be worth it for your home — and fingertips.
Just don’t wait too long to grab these because Black Friday ends at midnight, and we don’t know what deals will carry on.
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.

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 Black Friday deals, this is one to consider. Just don’t wait long. Black Friday is coming to an end, and who knows if this deal will carry over.
