Other Christmas Lights to Consider

Nanoleaf Essentials Smart Holiday String Lights for $100: These lights work with Google Assistant, Alexa, and HomeKit, and are similar in look, style, and price to our top picks. The only major difference is that the rope splits in two—the idea is that you start in the middle of the tree, not the bottom, and wrap one rope up and the other down. It’s a little inconvenient, and the wires can be quite an eyesore depending on the placement of your tree.
Olny Christmas Cluster Lights for $56: If you’re looking for something simple, Olny’s warm and welcoming Christmas lights are affordable. I tested this 49-foot string of lights, with 1,000 LEDs in a lovely warm white color. They are IP44 rated and come with a functional remote control making them perfect for outside your home. You can choose from eight effects, four brightness levels, and set timers to turn them on or off automatically after a few hours.
Govee Outdoor String Lights (48 feet) for $49: I love the look of large outdoor lights for the holidays. These lights from Govee have very little space between each bulb to make a great outdoor Christmas light, but are perfect for hanging from a fence or pergola. I love that you can combine the straps of these to make them longer or shorter, depending on your needs.
Twinkly Net Lights for $100: These net lights work well, with a larger light and net style so it’s easy to throw over the foliage in your yard and you won’t lose the lights on the leaves. It is a good size for one fence, but there is no easy way to connect several of them if you have many trees you want to join.
