These are fully controllable RGB lights. Preprogrammed effects in app and can make your own as well. These are also usable with other controllers in the lighting industry to add to shows and control with xLights. See this video: https://youtu.be/tNRMY2xzfrk

The nice thing about Twinkly is they are 5mm LED size. We normally buy 12mm WS2811 pixels to control and they are about $25-$35 per 100 (so $150-$200 for 600). You can do smaller props or more precise spacing with the smaller 5mm pixels.

A large xLights community out there doing amazing holiday sequenced shows at their houses. Here is one of the songs from my show last year: https://youtu.be/8hXyc7eBYwc

I have the music attachment. It's utter garbage. I'm getting a set of these.

Paired these up with a 14.5% off gift card plus CB from CB website, so that turned out great!

For anyone also buying discount gift cards to stack discounts, please note Michaels only allows you to use 2 gift cards max. I accidentally bought one too many to cover the last $10...
Which CB. RT is only 5% on gc.

In for 2, impulse buy. I've wanted to up my game with addressable lights on a Christmas tree for some time, I guess now is it. Wife's gonna kill me :-)
Welcome to the party, pal.

This is a crazy good deal. I just got done installing permanent lighting on my house. The wa2811 is a pretty popular addressable LED but there are a few drawbacks. Green or black wire seems to be more expensive, and $150 usually only gets you 500 pixels, nevermind the fact that you still need a controller and a power supply.

Not to mention the fact that these are smaller lights. They are smaller than ws2811 bullets but larger than addressable "fairy" lights, also much cheaper than fairy lights.

Great price, good find OP

Sorry, not sure what your acronyms mean here but I bought mine from Card Cash. I bought the last 14.5% one but there's still plenty above 14% and they deliver instantly, or at least for me since I've been shopping there for years. Might be different for someone new (they have lots of verification requirements).

I know I am going to regret hanging and unhanging 175 ft of lights, but I pulled the trigger because they looked so cool on display at Lowe's. (Sorry Lowe's!) I will definitely regret it if something goes wrong and I have to deal with in store returns at Michaels. They would also look beautiful as funky mood lighting in my kid's bedroom. He is going to loooove this.

Is card cash a legit site? Have you had any problems or hiccups with them or their gift cards. Might use them for all my future gift cards if you have had good experience with them.

Yes, I've used them for almost 10 years. They used to be called ABC gift cards or they merged or something. There's a little bit of a trick to using them. The issue is they're a 3rd party basically buying and reselling gift cards other people have and so they're also at the mercy of whoever sold the gift card to them (The original owner, for example, could keep the gift card number and try to use it a few months down the road). In general, I only buy online gift cards immediately before I need it and only buy as much as I need and so I don't have an issue, or if there is an issue I can immediately flag it for them to resolve. Don't keep gift card balances after their 45 day guarantee, and you're good. In this case with Michael's, I bought $150-ish in gift cards, applied all of it, and then paid about $12 leftover balance with my cc. It's about 14% off $150 worth, good enough. If I have to refund,h Michael's will refund me in store credit, which is not a big deal to me because they issue a new card at that time and I honestly go to Michael's quite often for crafts.

I had one hiccup in the last 5 years with a $1000 Disney gift card I bought because even though the gift card was real I wasn't able to transfer the balance and they refunded my order even at that high of an amount, so I trust their customer service.

Also, as another tip, one of my CB extensions gave me a few % CB from their website, plus they take credit card which stacks with my 3% CB credit card so even though my discount for a Michaels gift card was around 14% the additional CB was also even more. And then of course I had about a 5% CB also using a CB extension for the one Twinkly order from Michaels.
