Not only that but it doesn’t confine you to a specific color.Choose your design, stick the Flex to your wall, and have fun with the colors and effects. You’ll have access to a virtually endless array of colors, speeds, transitions, and more.We love that this can be tied to our favorite smart assistant; a simple “Hey Google” command gives us control over things. Moreover, if you’re a gamer or have a room set up with all sorts of cool lights, the Flex will fit right in, complementing everything — even synchronizing with gameplay or music.The biggest issue we had was deciding on what to do with the shape. Ultimately we went with a boring straight line that runs under a large window as it lights up the area around the desk. With that said, we’ve seen some great neon light designs (cactus, music note, lips, heart, star, swirl) in person that really pop off of the wall. Some of these shapes are available in templates that come in the box.The 2m (6.5 feet) tube works well but we suggest going for the longer (3m) one if you’re able to afford it.You can learn more about the Twinkly Flex and/or purchase yours for about $100.
