The usage of addressable RGBW LED lights for architectural home lighting and house holiday decoration is a relatively new concept, and there is not yet a well-established terminology and definitions for it.
Common usage of the term:
It is common for addressable RGBW LED lights to be referred to as Permanent Holiday and Architectural lights as it emphasizes the idea of these lights being able to be used for both holiday decoration and architectural lighting year-round. However it’s worth noting that this term is not an industry standard and it’s used by few people.
The other used names for this technology include: Holiday Lighting Systems, Exterior Accent Lighting, Year-Round Lights, Intelligent Lighting Systems, Decorative Outdoor Lights, Smart Home Exterior Lights, Gemstone Lights, Permanent Christmas Lights, Individually Controlled LEDs, Smart Outdoor Lights, Architectural Lighting, RGBW IC LED Lights, and Permanent Seasonal Lighting
The common feature among all types of addressable lights is that they each contain an integrated circuit. This turns the LED fixture into a mini-computer, enabling advanced functionalities like color control, brightness adjustment, and smart home integration.
