Govee’s lights can do it all — literally.
Length: 66 to 328 feet
Govee’s smart string light upgrades are among the best, with several design changes we particularly like. These lights — which have Matter support and work with Google Home or Alexa — ditch the hanging bulbs for a string light design, making them a whole lot easier to place in a holiday tree, wrap around a wreath and so on.
Plus, the app has serious smarts, with 130 preset modes as well as shape mapping technology for complex DIY options and a surprising AI feature that will try to auto-customize the lights based on texts, snippets of audio music or image prompts so you can really have fun. If you want to take the season to the next level, there’s a music mode using built-in mics to sync up to nearby holiday tunes.
Note that you can pick a color for the LED string itself, with green being the best option to hide the lights in a tree or bush. They’re also weather-resistant and outdoor-ready, so they can fit into any holiday home plan. We also like how affordable they are compared with many options.
