Use WS2812 LED strips/lights with a NodeMCU to control them wirelessly! You will need a NodeMCU or esp8266 chip, a computer with the Arduino IDE, a ws2812 LED strip, and a power supply and proper cables.

These are some high quality products I've used, they're more expensive than when I bought it. The strip is ip67 so it's water-resistant. I've found this specific strip breaks less due the the plastic shielding. The power supply also hasn't failed me after a year of heavy (overdrawing occasionally) usage.
