Govee, a company that specializes in smart home technology, thinks itspermanent Christmas lightsmight be the answer.
Overall, I was impressed with the Govee permanent outdoor lights pro.
As with all things Govee, the results are a little chaotic.
A few notable things distinguish these Permanent outdoor color changing lights from regular holiday lights.
These Govee lights are waterproof.
I founda workaround on YouTube, but it makes sense they want the lights in a line.
An important note is that only the “Pro” models allow you to cut the lights.
The strings themselves are IP67 waterproof with an IP65 power base.
However, treat these like a permanent installation.
We also ran the lights up onto the roof out of curiosity how theyd look.
In darkness, the result ranges from breathtaking to outrageous, based on the scene I choose.
Over the last two weeks, Ive had endless neighbors stop to gush about the lights.
This update greatly improves my overall impression of the lights.
you might choose pastels versus vivids, or choose from 60 different purples.
you might customize every single light on a string.
Pre-programmed reactive scenes were fun, but garish and migraine-inducing to my neighbors.
A soft white that just lightly twinkled occasionally, and a pastel rainbow that color shifted.
You dont have to use the sound reactivity, of course.
you could affect the overall brightness and even the brightness of the lights relative to each other.
Bottom line: the best permanent outdoor lights
Are permanent lights worth it?
I do not celebrate Christmas, and have always enjoyed being able to avoid putting up lights.
My immediate neighbors are all in love with them.
In the past, Ive found Govee customer service to be nimble and helpful.
These lights installed with two people in less than an hour.
