If you still have a static string of colorful lights wound around your Christmas tree, you should consider swapping them out for something with some 21st-century smarts. These Wi-Fi-connected LED string lights from Twinkly will cast a dazzling display that puts your childhood tree to shame, and you can pick up a set for 5.25 (.75 off) on Amazon.[EMBED_TWITTER]https://twitter.com/mathowie/status/1203483364507865089[/EMBED_TWITTER]Twinkly LED String Lights rely on spatial mapping via a connected smartphone to understand exactly where each bulb sits around virtually any object, such as your Christmas tree, fireplace mantel, staircase banister, or wherever you hang lights. Equipped with a virtual model of your item, Twinkly can then cast a unique light show from a list of pre-loaded effects — or you can even draw your own designs — all from within the Twinkly app.

You can pick up a set of Twinkly LED String Lights right now over on Amazon. They come with either 175 bulbs or 225 bulbs, with the larger count being the better value at almost $37 off. Multiple sets of Twinkly LED String Lights can also be connected to one another and used in tandem to build a larger light show.
