Forget Philips Hue: this smart LED strip is a fraction of the price

If you're ready to make the switch to smart home lighting, this deal on LED light strips is a can't-miss.

Smart LED lights are often one of the first and easiest steps into the smart home world. Cheaper than other smart home upgrades, smart bulbs have become commonplace in many households. If you’re looking for Prime Day deals on smart home devices and lights, this Smart LED Strip from Merkury Innovations is a fraction of the price of popular Philips Hue bulbs. Regularly priced at $27, this 16-foot Smart LED Light Strip is on sale for just $15 from Walmart. That’s a savings of $12. This deal is just one of many Walmart Rollback sales we’re already seeing on electronics, smart home devices, and more.

If you’re familiar with smart light bulbs, you already know how easily you can change the entire ambiance of any room in your home with just an app on your phone and a few bulbs. As if smart light bulbs weren’t easy enough, enter the smart LED light strip to provide you with several feet of customizable lighting. This 16-foot strip from Merkury is built to last indoors or outdoors and boasts a strong adhesive backing. No batteries are required.

Perfect for parties, game rooms, outdoor patios, and anywhere you want to brighten the vibe. The LED strip features several LED lighting effects, including simultaneous colors, gradient waves, and sound-sync mode, which allows you to pair your light flashes with the music you are listening to. The kit includes a 16-foot strip, but the special breaker design lets you trim and further extend your lights for a customizable setup. The lights are also water resistant and flexible, meaning you can place them almost anywhere you can imagine.

This LED light strip is super-simple to set up since no hubs are required — all you need is an existing 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and a smartphone. Using the Geeni App, you can control your new lights with your voice, set up a lighting schedule, and group multiple LED strips or bulbs at once for control with one command.

The Prime Early Access Sale is a great time to stock up on all the electronics you’ve been eyeing this year. This deal on the Merkury Innovations Smart LED Light Strip saves you $12 off the regular price of $27, bringing the cost to just $15.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
