GE Cync — one of my favorite brands for home light management via app — has released two new outdoor smart light products, available to buy now. They feature interesting features for last-minute Halloween decor or people looking to make permanent changes to their holiday lights.

First is Cync’s new-gen smart outdoor light strip ($36), now with added flexibility to twist into shapes that can match any holiday — a decoration you can keep pulling out all year, thanks in part to LED lights with color-changing abilities controlled by the Cync app. you can cut these 16- to 32-foot waterproof light strips to size and hook them into shapes or attach them to a layout grid.
For quieter uses, the light strips can line pathways and steps for safety, but if you prefer them as decor for celebrations, the music-syncing mode can make Cync’s lights far more lively. Alexa and Google Home support are also included for broader smart home control.
