Thank you, thank you! You helped me make my decision. You also answered The question about how to wrap the Twinkly lights! You gained a new subscriber today.
Nice work! Big Hue home user here but just picked up the Twinkly string. The color mapping is a killer feature that is hard to compete with for Hue at their price point. One thing I noticed on the Twinkly is the quality of the colors is fairly average. I haven’t found anyone else comparing as well as you have so if you do a followup, maybe try to compare more colors, along with the white colors. I have a feeling the Hue should do better for colors of white. Twinkly seems to struggle on the warmer white.
Thanks for letting me know! We stuck to Hue for our tree specifically for the warm whites and because we already have the full Hue system so it plays so nicely. I do need to do another video as I want to share the upgraded light options with Hue as well so I'll keep this in mind! I know I won't be able to accurately record the differences in color, but I can attempt to match them in real life and talk through it as they certainly do have different colorways. Right now I'm unsure how to even do a comparison video as my family has drawn the line at me adding a second Christmas tree to the house!
Yep. They also connect to wifi so you can adapt them when away from home. Here is my breakdown on the twinkly lights starting at connecting to wifi: th-cam.com/video/3wBW5EVC4ms/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UkkTiKin8p4J0lq7&t=59
I think Twinkly PRO is beyond my ability! It's meant for large-scale (aka full building) professional light installations. And unless I buy it from a small 3rd party reseller, it looks like Twinkly doesn't sell it without business consultations. This set of Twinkly string lights is the latest set of string lights designed for the end consumer and you can connect multiple sets together to make a larger scale design. And while it isn't as durable, big, or bright as Twinkly Pro, I actually prefer that the lights are spaced closer together as that's much better for residential applications. Sorry that I cannot do the comparison you are looking for.
Is this with the latest Hue Festavia firmware applied? I thought they have more effects now with the latest light firmware from last month. At least the other lamps/lights have more effects now. For example the sunshine and underwater related effects are missing, which would be between Sparkly and Loops inside the effects list.
oooooh! There was a new version available.! It now has Candle, Fireplace, Glisten, Sparkle, Wavy, Cosmos, Sunbeam, Enchant, Prism, and Opal. I'm going to have to make another video 😂 That's awesome though. Thanks for the catch.
My twinkly seems way better made than what you are showing.... Compared to bog standard they are well made.... Philips hue is good but maybe over engineered. The cost is way more.
Funny. I just bought this set of Twinkly last week. It’s the newest generation. It is well made. And Philips hue probably is over engineered 😂 and definitely at a much higher price point!

Just bought this for a big outside christmas tree. :-D Hope it comes tomorrow!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy!
Ok but can you use twinkle without being at home like Philips ?

Would you be able to review the Philips Hue Festavia vs the Twinkly Pro

Philips Hue released some new effects. Just update the firmware of the string.
I know 🤦♀️ Someone else here already commented this so I added a note in the description. Just haven't had a chance to make a video on it!
