They’ll definitely amp up any party with the music mode control options. The built-in microphone allows the lights to sense and sync up to music that’s playing, making them perfect for events and celebrations. (We put our set under the kitchen bar so that it lights up the cooking area while still blinking along to our playlists on the nearby Bluetooth speaker. It’s super impressive to turn dinner time into a dance party.) These lights are both easy to cut to fit your area and they’re linkable with other strips as well. This makes it easy to mix and match lengths to suit your needs. This model was easily one of the editor’s favorite options.
