Love the Monster WIFI 5M Light Strip. Downloaded the app to my phone and it was very easy to control the lights. This is a heavy-duty strip where the lights are encased in a plastic/vinyl-like strip. These look like they will hold up very well outdoors! So many different settings! We are using these as lighting by our Basketball Hoop for nighttime play and when we are spending time outdoors after the sun is down. Looking forward to using these also as some added holiday lighting in that area.
