Description

Customizable LED lights with apps have revolutionized the way we decorate and illuminate our spaces. One such product is the Twinkly Dots, which offers a unique take on the LED light phenomenon. Scott introduces the Twinkly Dots and explores its features and capabilities.

Customizable LED lights with the app

The Twinkly Dots stand out from other LED lights on the market due to their ability to create unique patterns and customize them according to individual preferences. Scott mentions that the lights come with a mobile app that allows users to build a map of where the lights are placed. This feature enables users to create advanced animations and achieve precise control over the lighting effects.

He then reveals the unboxing process of the Twinkly Dots. Scott describes the packaging, which includes a user's manual, a card from the CEO, and stickers. The attention to detail in the packaging reflects the company's commitment to providing a high-quality product.

Upon opening the box, Scott discovers a power adapter with a screw-on bottom, indicating that the lights are waterproof. This feature makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The product also includes small dots with double-sided stickiness for easy mounting.

Scott proceeds to reveal the actual product, which consists of a control unit with a button for cycling through preset lighting situations. The lights themselves come with a branded Velcro strap, making installation and organization convenient. The strand contains 200 lights that can be installed in any order or configuration desired.

Scott then highlights the versatility of the Twinkly Dots. He mentions seeing a Christmas tree adorned with these lights, which could display videos or dynamic animations. The possibilities for creativity and personalization are endless.

Scott expresses his excitement about getting the Twinkly Dots up and running full-time to explore their capabilities further. He plugs in the lights, and they start twinkling in their predetermined patterns. However, he emphasizes that after going through the pairing process with the mobile app, users can achieve more advanced animations and precise control over each pixel.

The process concludes with Scott mentioning that PLUGHITZ Live will be providing a How-To video on using the Twinkly Dots' app and a full product review. They may even showcase the installation of the lights in their studio.
