The Smart And Weather-Proof Costco Solution That Lights Up Your Yard

A yard can look completely different once the sun goes down. Sure, temporary string lights can help. However, they usually need to be hung, adjusted, replaced, or taken down depending on the season. They are not really ideal for homeowners who want to have a permanent solution. That is exactly where the Enbrighten Permanent Outdoor Wi-Fi Eternity Accent Lights can help. The lights are currently being sold for about $200 on Costco, and according to the product listing, they are designed for year-round use.

Not only are they weatherproof, but they are also built to operate in temperatures from -4 degrees Fahrenheit to 131 degrees Fahrenheit. The lights also come with a full installation kit. As for brightness, the lights provide up to 94 lumens per puck and can be connected up to a maximum length of 150 feet. The "smart" part comes from the Enbrighten app. The lights pair to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, allowing users to adjust colors, modes, effects, schedules, automations, and individual LEDs. They are also listed as compatible with Alexa and Google Home.

User feedback is mostly positive, however, the number of reviews is still limited. Several reviewers mention that the lights are bright and easy to control through the app. Some also say that they are useful for switching between regular white lighting and seasonal colors. That said, there are some concerns, too. For instance, one buyer noted that the instructions were unclear and that they had difficulty finding compatible accessories. While not deal breakers, these things are still worth keeping in mind before you purchase a product to light up your yard at night.

Color-changing lights can be useful and cool. However, if you want to get the best out of them, you must choose their colors based on the situation instead of just leaving them on the brightest setting all the time. For instance, warm white is usually the most practical choice for regular evenings. It makes the exterior look polished. If, however, you are setting the lights up near a patio or deck where people are going to sit, muted blue or green tones work best as a gentle accent for a relaxed evening. Just make sure to keep the brightness low.

You can also use Enbrighten Permanent Outdoor Wi-Fi Eternity Accent Lights to make your holidays more colorful. For instance, you can just set the lights to green or red on Christmas — no need to buy traditional Christmas lights. Likewise, you can also use orange and purple hues for Halloween. Put simply, with these lights in your yard, you won't have to hang and remove temporary strands every time a holiday comes around.

Just keep in mind that in order to be able to take control of these lights, you will need to have a proper 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. This is really important if you want to use the smart features of these lights. Plus, make sure that its signal reaches the lights. If the connection is weak, the controls might not work smoothly. So, make sure you know how to get a stronger Wi-Fi signal even in your backyard. If, however, there are no Wi-Fi signals in your yard, skip these and look for other ways to illuminate outdoor spaces.
