Philips Hue Festavia includes 250 mini smart LEDs attached to a 20-meter cord, over 65 feet. People can dim and brighten the lights, change their color, turn them on and off, set timers and schedules, and more using the Hue app.

People can also add several colors to the string of lights for a gradient effect. A new style called Scattered also spreads up to five colors randomly along the string.

The lights can be synced with music using integration with Spotify and Samsung's SmartThings app.
