What is Twinkly PRO?
Twinkly PRO (Ethernet Controllers) is a line primarily dedicated to professional use and its technology has been developed to create big light installations.
It has been designed specifically for outdoor use, with a watertight case capable of resisting even the worst weather conditions.
The LEDs are bigger and stronger and Twinkly and the LEDs are more widely spaced from each other.
PRO technology has also been developed to create animated effects intended also for larger surfaces.
Twinkly PRO Wi-Fi is equipped with a Wi-FI controller, so in terms of configuration and functionality it is like Twinkly Retail but with a more features, such as multi-port controllers, increased resilience (it is IP65), and compatibility with the range of PRO LEDs.

What is Twinkly Plus?
Twinkly Plus is the meeting point of PRO Ethernet controllers and Retail products, and has been conceived as the result of our customer’s needs and feedback.
For example, the new model is compatible also with Android (as the Retail products), and works with both Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity; moreover, different products, such as Strings, Icicle, Curtain, Dots and Bulbs (S14), can be connected to the 4 ports on the controller, making it possible to create an installation with different LEDs using just one controller, power supply and power outlet.
It is designed for simple and small professional installations, using Twinkly LED technology, without the need for a large network structure, but also for those who want to decorate their more spacious environments.
