Brite Star's lights are a little expensive—$50 for a string of 15 from Brookstone, and only slightly less on Amazon, at $42. They aren't app-controlled: A small box at the end of the strand has two buttons that let you toggle between the seven colors and four patterns.
The indoor/outdoor bulbs are lovely, and the blinking and chasing patterns go at a nice speed—not so fast that they'll give you a headache. You can use up to 40 sets together, and the colors and patterns stay synced. Hackers will be pleased to know that each bulb closes with just four little screws, so you can access the tiny circuit board if you want to modify anything yourself.
