Why should the inside of your house have all the fun? Colorful LED light bulbs have been available for some time; finally, there’s a solution that can stand up to the wear and tear of Mother Nature. Designed as a strip of LED lights, ilumi’s newest member to its family of IoT smart lighting solutions is one of the world’s first outdoor-rated and digitally addressable smart LED strip (IP65 outdoor rating to protect against weather).
With individually controlled LEDs, the ilumi Smartstrip can be set to create patterns to complement and bring alive any landscape or room. Like all ilumi smart lighting products, a user just plugs in their ilumi Smartstrip, downloads the ilumi app, and syncs them to get started – no hub or additional networking required. The ilumi Smartstrip will be available through national retailers this Spring for $89 for a two meter starter kit and $29 for one meter extensions.
If white lighting is more your style, new to iIlumi are adjustable white A19 bulbs and BR30 floodlights.
Like all ilumi smart lights, their intelligent design provides lighting recommendations for each room to optimize the light to the space. And because the memory is in the ilumi bulb itself, it will remember color preferences and settings – even if users turn the smart bulb on or off with a light switch instead of the app. Available later this quarter through Amazon, the bulbs cost just $29 and $39, and offer more than a twenty-year lifetime.
Features of ilumi adjustable white Smartbulbs and the LED Smartstrip:
- 65,000 shades of white light to fit any lighting need and preference
- Screws in like a regular lightbulb, no hub or other complicated networking required
- Works with regular light switches, while remembering your settings and preferences
- Completely dimmable through app
- Music Sync sets light shows to your tunes
- Scheduling automation for on/off times, and preferred lighting
- Presets and special effect lighting options available
- Bluetooth Mesh allows for easy installation and reliable control of up to fifty devices

Lisa, thanks for your article here. This is actually incredibly helpful to me in my roofing business goodyearroofingcompany.com, because we offer to hang Christmas lights during the holidays for people, and this provides me with an excellent alternative to the standard lights that are always getting tangled up, or a bulb is going out on them. Up until now, I’ve always offered to hang the customers lights that they provide, but with these being reliable LED’s, I am considering investing in a large quantity so that I can provide the lights to be hung for the customer. I’ve found there are several people who call me every year asking if I provide the lights, versus them having to buy their own. This article has added another facet to my business. Thank you.

Lisa,
Your article is GREAT! It gave me a great idea as to how I could utilize these lights in our limousine business at LowellVIPLimos.com We have a power inverter within each of our limos and we would be able to use and program these light according to the occasion that the limos are rented out for. After all isn’t the inside of a limo nothing more than a small room.
Thanks for the inspiration.

It’s really quite surprising how much work I have had over the holiday season to hand LED lights on people’s roofs. My company http://www.newcastlecityroofing.co.uk is very grateful for people promoting such a fantastic looking product
