NEEWER NR01 Smart RGBW Outdoor String Lights — 96 ft, 30 Bulbs
Product description
Dazzling RGBW nodes and warm whites: Each string in this kit contains 15 dimmable, independently addressable RGBW bulbs capable of warm-to-cool white color temperatures (about 2700K–6500K) and roughly 80 lumens per lamp. The bulbs can display a full spectrum of colors, or be set to smooth warm white for everyday illumination. This kit totals 30 bulbs spanning about 96 feet (two strings), making it suitable for patios, porches, pergolas, decks, cafes and seasonal décor.
App, voice and local controls: Link the lights to the NEEWER Home app over Bluetooth and finalize smart setup via a 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi connection. The small inline control box offers quick manual on/off and brightness adjustments, while the app unlocks scene presets, scheduling/timers and fine-grain color control. Works with Google Assistant and Alexa for hands-free commands. Note: 5 GHz networks are not supported.
AI-driven patterns and music sync: The lights use a smart AI lighting engine to generate dynamic effects that you can shape with voice, text or image prompts. A microphone built into the controller listens to ambient sound and adapts colors and patterns in real time to music or game audio, producing lively synchronized displays.
Weatherproof, durable construction: The bulbs and control module carry an IP65 rating for protection against rain, splashes and dust. Lamps are built from shatter-resistant, UV-stable materials rated to endure drops and outdoor exposure, with an estimated life of up to 25,000 hours and reliable operation across roughly -20°C to 50°C. Important: the included power adapter has an IP44 rating and should not be submerged; protect its connection point from direct water exposure.
Easy mounting and expandability: Installation is tool-free — bulbs have hanging holes and hooks and the package includes mounting ties to secure each globe so it won’t slide. The set ships with the two strings, the inline control box, mounting ties and power adapter. You can daisy-chain up to three compatible strings (about 144 ft / 45 m) for longer runs.

Nice colors but stopped working
We loved the variety of colors at first, but after several months the string stopped turning on even though we kept the plug in a waterproof protector. Disappointed by the short working life despite good looks.

Excellent backyard upgrade
Installed the 96‑foot set across my yard and evenings have been transformed. Thirty individually controllable RGBW bulbs let me switch from warm white for everyday use to vibrant party patterns. Setup with the app and Alexa was easy; the IP protection has handled rain fine. Needs 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi but otherwise great quality and effects.

Looks upscale and performs well
These string lights look much better than cheaper alternatives. The warm glow is lovely, and you can switch to playful colors easily. The app gives many options, and the whole setup appears well built across a patio.

Love the versatility and app
Perfect for my patio. I’ve been making different scenes for gatherings or just relaxing. The remote/controller works well and after three months they’ve run without problems. Still discovering app features but it’s been fun to explore.

So many options, easy to mount
Really impressed so far — lightweight, simple to hang and the app is intuitive. The AI scene tools make crafting custom looks quick. Fingers crossed they hold up through tough winters.

Fully customizable and music syncs
These are a blast. You can tweak colors per bulb or use premade scenes, and they’ll sync to music via the controller’s mic. Phone app control makes changes effortless.

Nice unboxing and premium feel
Arrived in multiple boxes with cardboard inserts; bulbs are larger frosted globes that look premium. The cable includes a small controller with basic buttons, but you’ll rely on the app for most features.

Solid but had app hiccups
I’ve used these for a while and they’ve been good overall. They dropped Wi‑Fi a few times, which fixed itself, and the app was a bit buggy while resolving it. Aside from that they’re fine.

Great lights with less glare
These lights are fantastic — the frosted white globes cut down harsh glare compared with clear bulbs. The companion app has tons of color options and a reliable timer so I can set and forget. I strung them along my fence; setup was simple. Remember to keep the plug in a waterproof junction — the bulbs are IP65 but the power cord isn’t. Overall very pleased.

Sturdy and colorful, missing hooks
Very satisfied — feels well made and the bulbs are a good size with vivid colors. Only downside: S-hooks for hanging were not included.
