Light strips can be used to create lighting moods on the terrace and balcony that would not be possible with normal light bulbs. You can even control them flexibly via app, voice and automatic.

Seven weather-protected light strips from the brands Cololight, Innr, Ledvance, Lunartec, Paulmann, Philips Hue and Tint had to prove which smart light tricks they have mastered in the test. Reasonable smartphone apps and voice commands are a must, lots of control features are a plus and a physical switch or remote control is a bonus.
