HOLIDAY DECORATING | TECHNOLOGY
TECH THE HALLS
The best Christmas decorations work together to form a spectacular
theme that builds excitement and anticipation for the special holiday.
T
his year by doing something different. You are
sure to create special moments and lasting mem-
ories along the way.
LED Lights
We have come a long way from the oversized col-
ored bulbs that used to line our Christmas trees and
roofs. Many LED light strips are now on the market, offering a more
efficient, customizable lighting experience.
Most LED options are dimmable and wirelessly controlled. And
you aren’t constrained to only using this advanced lighting inside.
Waterproof strips also are available.
You also can find add-ons and smartphone apps to control your
LED lights according to music. These sound-reactive lighting se-
tups make the lights flash and change color.
Smart Decorations
Do you struggle to remember to turn off your holiday lights or
decorations? No more.
Many Internet router makers also sell app-enabled switches
that let you control when your lighted pieces turn on and off. You can
make arrangements for your Christmas tree to light up each day at
sundown, or to turn off the lights every night at midnight.
Decoration customization is here and it makes your life easier.
3-D Printed Ornaments
Ornaments have a special place in our lives because of the
memories they provide. And now they can be more high-tech and
custom-made than ever before.
Online 3-D printing companies will take your uploaded design
and turn it into a tangible ornament.
