LED String Lights for Parties
While smart LED bulbs can be programmed for many different things, they aren’t great party lights. For events or parties—especially outdoors—use LED string lights instead. LED strings are also useful if you’re running lights along shelves or under cabinets.

LED bulbs can dim, if you buy the right ones. However, they may not be able to work with your older fluorescent dimming switches. If it’s important to you that the bulbs dim, do some research and determine if the switch you have will work

Buy From a High-Quality Manufacturer
LED bulbs are famous for their long lives. In practice, they do last a long time, but not necessarily for years and years. Quality is still important, and poorly made LED lights for home will die just as soon as an incandescent bulb, if not faster. Choose high-quality, reliable manufacturers with good reviews, even if that means paying a little extra.
