GE Cync Smart Light Strip review: Too expensive for your eyes

An extremely pricy light show without much to offer

GE's Cync Full Color Dynamic Effects Smart Light Strip is a mouthful to say, but its name is perhaps the most impressive part of this 16-million-color, diffused string of LEDs. A big, diffused strip of LEDs whose length you can easily modify is held back by a ho-hum controller application — so much so, I'm not sure it makes a lot of sense to buy GE's lights when you can get other, just as lovely looking solutions for mood lighting that cost half as much (or less).

Mixing colors might remind you of fingerpainting in kindergarten where you always ended up going too far and turning everything into that ubiquitous brown. But Philips may let you do so less messily with a new set of Hue Lights coming very soon.
