These year-round smart Christmas lights from Govee could be just what you need to avoid the winter hazards of installing and maintaining holiday decorations! With their clever Permanent Light design, you install them once, then use the Govee app to adjust their appearance throughout the year. Users have plenty of control, from the tangoing green light in 60 shades of green at St. Patrick's Church to a simple warm white light for the rest of the year.
These lights are backed by professional installers and are available in black or white color schemes in 100-foot and 200-foot bundles. In contrast to traditional Christmas lights, these smart lights require a robust power source and can't be split into multiple groups. However, if you split more than five wires, you'll need to connect one of the included thick inline boosters.
The best part? Govee's website is full of Reddit tips and tricks from professional installers. These lights are also cuttable and extendable, and they come with a 3-meter auxiliary strip and a 3-meter extension cord. The adhesive backing is strong, but if you have sharp edges, you may need to be extra cautious.
Typically placed under eaves or in gutters, position these mini LED tiles like tiny 50-lumen downlights, casting a colorful glow onto your house walls. Each light comes with a 3-meter self-adhesive strip, but additional extension cords can be added when needed. Keep in mind that these should be considered permanent installations: once you stick them, they won't move easily.
Matter, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth compatibility make these lights simple to control, but navigating the Govee app can be challenging. The app interface is cluttered with a sheer abundance of options, and it took our tester about a week to truly understand how it worked.
The good news is that you'll never have to replace a single bulb again! Focus on color, movement, brightness, and reactivity instead. Choose from an incredible million app options for greater control, but be prepared for the confusing menu.
Thanks to their reactivity to sound, these lights can create beautiful, serene scenes, such as gently glowing white tones with light sound effects. Of course, if you prefer, you can leave them static or move them gently – the choice is yours!
With stronger reactivity to sound, these lights can create stunning, serene scenes, such as softly glowing white tones with gentle sound effects. You can also leave them as static or gently moving lights - the choice is yours!
Govee's permanent smart Christmas lights might not have the best app interface, but they offer a wide range of customization options for year-round use. These lights are durable, with a 3-year guarantee and a responsive customer support team. They were installed by two people in less than an hour, although they do come with a higher price tag than traditional Christmas lights.
