RGB Decking Lights Kit,Waterproof IP65 Ø35MM DC12V Bluetooth APP Control Timing LED Recessed Deck Lights Color Changing for Terrace/Steps/Path/Kitchen/Garden -10 Pack

Good quality set of decking lights, however we haven’t installed them in decking but instead have sunk them around the edge of our patio in some small garden border stones and have then shining on to our patio.
At night they are very bright and look brilliant.
The fact you can control them via Bluetooth with the app is a great feature and a good show peice when you have friends and family round.
They seem very well made and durable and we have had no issues with them yet with regards to the UK weather.
52.99 for a 6 pk RGB+BT I feel is a fair price for what you get in regards of quality and features.
Overall very recommended to brighten up your garde

For expensive lights you expect these to be good and they are, though 51.99 at the point of review, does even so seem a tad expensive for only six lights. Yes they are Bluetooth controlled (when in range) but no integration with Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi enabled apps, which is a bit disappointing.

That said these lights do offer some functionality, you can set the colour temperature through the app and set timings, which are a useful feature. We’ve not installed these as yet as they are going to be installed in our small decking extension, which six lights is just the right number., so have tested outside the box, but will work in the same way when installed. The quality of the lights is good and they come with an IP65 waterproof rating, so should stand up to any weather that’s thrown at it, it’s a good job as we get lashings of rain where we live!

Installation is much the same as any of these types of decking lights, and you can add sets on if needed (12 lights total on 8 watt power supply included in this pack, up to 32 lights on the larger power supply provided with larger sets). The lights are expensive at 51.99 and get better value if you buy larger sets, at the moment these are around 8.67 per light, but if you buy a set of twenty this reduces to around 5.60 per light, so you’re paying for the initial infrastructure in the smaller set. So good lights but expensive unless you need the functionality, buying larger makes them better value.

The half lid light design is quite distinctive and quite unusual in deck lights, but does I feel limits application. They’ll work well for pathway edged lighting or edging a deck, providing a more filtered light as you don’t get the full glare of the lamp, which is a good feature, so just depends how you’re planning to use them if these are right for your needs.

The associated app is easy to download and straight-forward to use, and great that you can set a timing pattern, change colours and sync to music. The first one I’ll use instead of linking up a dusk to dawn sensor in the back, which my front garden Ines are controlled by. All in all this is a nice set with good functionality and is robustly made with a nice half lid design. They lose a star for value for money for this six piece set only. Four stars.

These decking lights have nice little lamps but sadly I knocked a star off the rating for a reason. Had it not been for the app these would have been given a 5* review but one thing I really dislike is another app for my phone. There are generic apps available, that one can connect almost anyhting that is Smart but too many Chinese manufacturers are producing products that insist on downloading another app and many of them are malware as they basically steal all the data from the phone. I’ve found more than a fair few that upload everything and even require permission to record voice calls, the caller / recipient’s phone number, the phone’s contacts list etc. etc. and none of it relevant to simply dimming a light or recoding one’s heart beat etc.

Even without the security weaknesses of these stand alone phone appsone needs a phone with a hard drive as large as a PC to store all the apps and each App drains battery energy so I am not a keen fan of one off Apps for each and every product when a generic app can control all Smart devices.

Setting aside the App issue, these lights are made to a good quality standard with good quality cabling. The manis power adapter and the BT (Bluetooth) driver are both solid and strong as one would expect of this type of product. The lights are easy to assemble and additional lights can be added if needed.

Although the main header and the packaging refer to “Decking Lights” these are suitable for many other uses as they can just as easily be installed in fencing or in the risers / steps of stairs. They are even small enough to put into skirting boards. However, using these in skirting boards and on stairs will require a bit of extra work but it will be worth the time and effort.

I am recommending these “Decking”, fencing, stairwell, even brick wall lights, if one doesn’t mind the extra work of drill and cutting brickwork lights, as they are good quality, they are strong and they are good value but they need to be compatable with generic BT Apps to get the full 5* rating.

These came well presented in a retail box and inside you get 6 x Decking Lights, Lighting Controller, Mains Power Adapter, Wiring End Cap, Mounting Screw for Controller & Power Adapter, and Instructions. This particular set is the one without the remote control, so you do need to download the App in order to control them.

Putting everything together is really simple and is just a matter of pushing the 4-pin male and female connectors together and then screwing the ring tightly, making the connection waterproof. The mains adapter come pre-fitted with a UK plug. Each of the light is spring-loaded with 4 springs, so once you have cut the whole to size and sorted out the wiring, you just pop then into the hole.

Once you have paired the App with the lights, you get access to five main sections: Colour, Functions, Mic, Music, and Camera.

1. Colour – you can choice from 16M colours, 5 pre-sets, set individual RGB levels and adjust brightness.
2. Functions — gradual change, strobe, cross fade, and colour jumping
3. Mic — syncs lights to external sounds e.g., music. You can adjust mic sensitivity and select Rock, Normal, Jazz, etc. which changes the way the lights react to the music/
4. Music — syncs to music being played on device that is running the App.
5. Camera — use your devices camera to select a colour and the lights will change to it.

Across all the above you have on/off and timer icons.

I did have a bit of trouble with the Music mode, whereby the lights were syncing but I could not here the music playing.

The LEDS on these lights are quite small and as such, they are not overly bright but that is not to say they are dim. Unlike most decking lights, these do not sit flush with the decking. There is a semi-circle that sits up proud, a bit like a stage, and the light emanates only from that one direction. Because they are going to stick up/out, you do not want to place these where someone may trip up on them.

They do look good though and when I got the correct setting for the Mic syncing to music, they worked quite well actually. Personally, I think these are more about creating atmosphere than lighting up a garden.

There are not many sets like this on the amazon website, making it tricky to get a fix on the value for money aspect and decking lights seem to be inherently expensive anyway.

I hope you found this review & photos interesting, informative, and useful. Thanks for reading.
NB. For a sizing guide, squares in photos are 1cm.

The RGB lights were boxed well and I was very impressed when I received these lights. They are made from water-proof zinc alloy/stainless steel and look sturdy and long-lasting.
My husband was able to install them without any difficulty.
We have set up them on our stairs and don’t they look amazing.
Revamped and modern, that is what I can say about my house.
I can adjust the brightness, set a timer, can sync with the music, has a group function, and choose from 16 million colors. These lights have a good length cable too. Overall, it’s a good product.

This six pack of RGB decking lights kit works as expected with no any errors. They are waterproof so easily can be used outside, very easy setup. You can name deck lights, add lights into groups, create different groups and control them in the mobile app, saving you time. Through a Bluetooth network device, you can enjoy the scene of music and lights dancing, which is great for parties. With 16 million colors to choose from, you can try a variety of different colors to decorate your venue.
