If you’re looking to spruce up the exterior of your home, there are a few ways to do so. But my favorite way is with some smart lights. Enter Govee, a smart lighting manufacturer that frequents our reviews, including our favorite ambient lighting for both indoors and out. Govee’s Permanent Outdoor Lights Pro are outdoor string lights that can be installed and left up all yearlong. Perfect for changing the colors based on different seasons, holidays and more.
Usually priced at $760, you can pick up a 200-foot light strand at Amazon for $600 right now, a dramatic $160 price difference that brings the product down to the lowest price we’ve seen it sell for. If that still feels understandably high, read on to learn about the features of these lights and why they just might be worth it.
The Govee Outdoor Pro permanent lights are waterproof, with an IP67 weather-resistance rating, and can handle extreme temperatures ranging from -4 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. They can be installed with an included durable adhesive on the back of each light that sticks to wood, vinyl, metal and fiber cement.

Once installed, the possibilities for color schemes are endless. You can choose your lighting based on the holiday, so light it up red for Valentine’s Day or go green for St. Patrick’s, or choose your team’s favorite colors when they’re playing. All of these lights can be controlled using the Govee app or synced with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. You can create preset timers to turn them on and off and make custom light shows.
