Hue Festavia smart coloured string lights

The two firms' latest products are very different but retain the key features of all the best smart lights: excellent app control and virtually unlimited colours. I love my smart lights, and I think these are both very welcome additions.

What will you choose: new Hues or Nanoleaf’s Lines?

The new Hue Festavia is a set of 250 LEDs on a 20-metre cord, and rather brilliantly it has the same gradient effects that you’ll find on its gradient light strips – so if you want the top of your Christmas tree to be a different colour from the bottom or you just want to create a cool lighting effect, the Festavia will be just the job. There’s also a new lighting style, Scattered, that spreads up to five colours randomly across the LEDs for a suitably festive effect. They’ll go on sale on 15 November atPhilips-hue.comfor £139.99.
