I am looking for a high quality RGBW XMas lightbulb strings. I'd like to mount the bulbs permanently and use them on multiple occasions with different colors. Naturally I'd prefer to have HS3 control over the colors and effects.
Here are 2 sets I found that might work. I will have to dig a bit deeper and maybe buy them and give them a trial.
Our local Costco is offering the GE Color Effects bulbs. This largish G28 size 36-LED set can be daisy chained up to 7 sets. I have not been able to ascertain if they are RGBW or just an addressable solid color bulb. The marketing information states there are 6 colors? A few years ago there were several posts about using an Arduino to control the 1-wire data bus of similar GE bulbs but I am not sure if these strings are compatible with the hacked version.
The other interesting product is AppLights SmartLights. These bulbs are a bit smaller C9 size. The set is 24 bulbs allowing 8 sets to be strung together. Smartphone controllable.
Love to hear what you are doing with your holiday light strings.
