A friend of mine once lovingly described me as “seems crafty, but isn’t.” I test tabletop electronic breast pumps for a reason; anything with a complicated setup or building process tends to go haywire in my hands.
But setting up the Cync lights was painless, even for a craft-challenged individual like myself. The lights come with a large installation map that you can use to map out, like a moon and star or a martini glass, plus 20 mounting clips to hold up either Cync’s design or your own. The mounting clips come with 3M sticky tape on them, and holes for the included screws if you want your design to be permanent. Cync also makes recommendations for using the tape or screws based on your wall material.
Originally, I chose the sun and moon design. I ripped holes in the installation map to guide the placement of mounting clips using the tape. Looking back, it might have been easier to use screws with the map. But after completing the installation, I wasn’t in love with the shape. The rope lights couldn’t form crisp corners for the moon or stars, and when I texted friends photos of the setup, they thought the lights were cool but didn’t realize they were looking at a moon.
So I took the design down and reapplied the lights in a freeform swirl behind my desk. That was much easier than trying to perfectly follow the map design, and it looks better as a fun squiggle that fills in empty wall space behind my desk monitor. If you’re buying these lights to recreate a specific neon shape, the lack of clean corners and edges could be disappointing. But if you’re open to playing with rounded edges, this is a fun design element to add to your wall.The smart light aspect makes it easy to play with hues.
