Spring is upon us and the need to chill on your patio is in full swing. When you have an outdoor space that is built for your relaxation, you want it to live up to its potential for you, whether you like to quietly read in the fresh air or have a backyard party with friends. The Lepro ZB1 AI Smart Outdoor String Lights give you an old school look with top-end technology and, most importantly, beautiful light.
The Lepro ZB1 AI Smart Outdoor String Lights come in 50-foot lengths with 15 bulbs (spaced 3 feet apart) per length. You can extend the lights as well, connecting up to 30 bulbs together to work in sync. The bulbs are made of a shatterproof polycarbonate material which I can confirm, after accidentally dropping them several times on concrete, are very durable. In addition to being tough, the lights are, as would be expected, weatherproof.
The lights are rated IP65, meaning they are dust tight and resist water jets from every angle, so they will do well in the rain. The power adapter, however, does not have the same rating, and they will warn you to ensure that the plug is enclosed in an electric box to avoid the wet weather.
The Lepro ZB1 AI Smart Outdoor String Lights connect to your phone using the Lepro APP (also compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa), using either a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection, depending on what works best for you based on where you are placing it. In the app, you can customize the colour layout and animation of the lights (breathing, directional, etc) from here, picking the exact colours that you want to appear on the String Lights and how they will dance around your patio.
“The colour quality of the Lepro ZB1 AI Smart Outdoor String Lights is top of the line, recreating an endless number of colours that shine brilliantly through each bulb.”
There is also an AI command tab in the app that allows you to ask Lepro for what you want. Asking for Christmas Lights or Party Lights or a Rainbow, or even just telling it what your mood is, it will get you a long list of examples to choose from, giving you the opportunity to find exactly what you are looking for in a lighting scheme in a way that is a heck of a lot easier and more intuitive than trying to draw it out yourself.
You can also sync your Lepro ZB1 AI Smart Outdoor String Lights to your music in a couple of ways, either by the microphone on the in-line controller on the string itself or via your phone’s microphone. The music lighting settings in the app will have your lights dancing to the tunes using flash, wave or laser modes that will bring your outdoor space to life to the beat of your playlist.
The colour quality of the Lepro ZB1 AI Smart Outdoor String Lights is top of the line, recreating an endless number of colours that shine brilliantly through each bulb. The soft white light, if you are just trying to light up an area and aren’t concerned with vibes, are more than enough to light up your space beautifully with 700 lumens of light.
With an MSRP of $55.99 USD, it feels like an incredibly cheap price for a premium set of lights. I’d highly recommend doubling up on the strings to give you the most lighting possible in your space. All that’s left to do after that is pick your favourite setups for every occasion and enjoy the ambiance.
