Govee Chromatic Lights: The Coolest Outdoor Patio Lights EVER

Are these the smartest outdoor string lights Govee has made yet? In this review, I take a closer look at the new Govee Outdoor Chromatic String Lights, which can display multiple colors within each individual bulb for effects that go way beyond normal festoon lighting. I cover the design, brightness, app features, Matter support, and whether the fancy lighting tricks actually make them worth the premium price. They look fantastic, but there are a few catches, especially if you were hoping for full smart home integration outside the Govee app. If you’re thinking about upgrading your patio, pergola, deck, or garden setup, here’s what you need to know before you buy.
