Deck your house in Govee’s smart string lights, which are cheaper ahead of the holidays

The smart string lights look just as good on a tree as they do on patio.

Now that spooky season’s over, it’s time to swap the pumpkins and skeletons for something a little more cheery ahead of the holidays. Govee’s Christmas Lights 2 are customizable string lights that will add some smart home magic to your tree, with plenty of slack left over to adorn your space. Right now, they’re discounted to some of the best prices we’ve seen this year. They start at $69.99 for 66 feet of string lights at Amazon and directly through Govee, with the 99-foot version going for $20 more (Amazon, Govee). The longer 164- and 328-foot sets are also on sale for $149.99 ($50 off) at Amazon and Govee and $299.99 ($100 off) at Amazon and Govee, respectively.

Govee Christmas String Lights 2

Govee’s Christmas String Lights 2 offer over 130 preset lighting effects that sync with music, though you can also create your own custom light displays. The IP65-rated lights also feature Matter support so they’ll work with any major smart home platform. The lights are sold in lengths up to 328 feet with up to 1,000 LED beads.

Where to Buy:

  • $99.99 $69.99 at Amazon (66-feet)
  • $129.99 $89.99 at Amazon (99-feet)

Just like regular string lights, you can use them to decorate anything you want. You may want to use them on a Christmas tree, to hang around stair rails, or even to light up the patio. If you choose to hang them outside, their IP65 rating means they should be able to handle wild winter weather just fine. What’s great about Govee’s color-changing lights compared to plain ol’ string lights is their versatility. They can put on dazzling light shows, thanks to each string light’s hundreds of LED beads that can be synced to music playback, or they can cycle through one of its more than 130 built-in lighting effects. You can even get creative with custom displays using Govee’s shape-mapping tools, or create personalized light shows with voice commands and text prompts with the companion app’s AI features.

These lights support the smart home standard Matter, so they are interoperable through Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and other major platforms. That means you can easily set schedules, adjust brightness, or change colors without getting off the couch, making them as convenient as they are festive.
