My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: Govee 2 Smart Outdoor String Lights
I’m an outdoor lighting enthusiast. I’ve tried a lot over the years, from solar spotlights to stepping stones to smart fairy lights. One brand that usually comes out on top in most categories is Govee. I’ve had their Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights 2 for a few months now and can recommend them to anyone looking for quality waterproof smart outdoor string lights. Currently, you can get the 144-foot length for $100.29 (originally $169.99) after using the 41% off page discount, the lowest price according to price trackers . If the garlands are too much for you, the 96′ and 48′ options are also on sale.
Before I started using smart string lights, I had to manually plug and unplug the lights every time I wanted to use them. I also had to change them over the holidays which was a pain. Smart lights can turn on on a set schedule (such as being programmed to turn on and off at sunset and sunrise), they can be controlled remotely by voice assistants via a smart speaker, and some can change colors depending on mood or holidays. I was able to do all this (and more) with the Govee Outdoor String Lights 2.
The Govee app is well made and this sets it apart from its competitors. It provides all sorts of color options to choose from ambient lighting as well as themes. You can customize red and green Christmas light patterns or spooky flashing Halloween lights. One feature I’ve used a lot is the music mode, which is essentially a party mode that syncs with your music through the Govee app to pulse to the beat. String lights are waterproof and are estimated to provide 25,000 hours of light (that’s almost three years).
If you think this is funny, be sure to measure the required distance correctly; purchasing extra bulbs is expensive, and you will need to figure out where to put the extra bulbs.
