Govee, the smart light company, just released new Christmas string lights for festive indoor and outdoor holiday decorations. The Govee Christmas String Lights 2 and Govee Icicle Lights are waterproof and come with a lot of smart features.
Govee Christmas String Lights 2 is a string of droplet-shaped LED lights that connects withGoogle Home, Alexa, Siri, and its dedicated companion app for easy wireless access. In addition to the basic brightness and timer controls, the Govee Home companion app lets you access some 130 lighting scene presets. You can choose from Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, rainbow, party, candlelight dinner, and more.
You can also create your own themes using the “Shape Mapping” feature that lets you fine-tune the color and animation of each bead. For a quicker setup, the companion app includes an AI bot that takes prompts like “give me a vibrant festive effect” to auto-create unique lighting effects. For similarly unique animation effects, you can sync the string lights to your music.
you’re able to program them all to pure white light and use the string as a regular light for the home too. Once you’ve settled on an effect, you can use voice control (with Alexa or the Google Assistant) to easily toggle the lights.
The cord comes in 66ft, 99ft, 164ft, and 328ft options. They’re allIP65 ratedagainst dust and water, so they should be good for outdoor use too. TheGovee Christmas Lights 2starts from $99.99.
