A smart light strip lets you adjust colour and brightness from your phone which means you can change the entire mood of a room without getting off the sofa. They stick directly onto surfaces so they work behind televisions, under shelves and along skirting boards. The colour range is genuinely extensive and the ability to programme them means they respond to voice commands if you have smart home setup. Installation is straightforward and they do not require an electrician. The app control means they are genuinely practical rather than just decorative. These are the lights for someone who wants flexibility and does not want to think about lighting choices once they are set up.
