There’s no easier way to give your yard a serious glow-up than with smart string lights, and one of our favorites is on sale for Black Friday.
The Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights 2 are $99.99—about 41% off—on Amazon. This 144-foot string earned high marks from our reviewer for its lightweight design, many smart modes, and affordable price, and the Black Friday discount makes it an even better deal.
With an IP65 weatherproof rating (dust-tight and resistant to powerful jets of water), these lights are made for outdoor use. They work with Alexa and Google Home for voice control, and the Govee app offers dozens of modes—from static scenes to animated shows. You can “paint” colors onto the string by swiping the screen, use a music mode that pulses lights to your playlists, and include the lights in automations via the Govee app or through Alexa/Google Home.
If you want to brighten a drab backyard, the Govee Outdoor String Lights 2 are a strong choice—just don’t expect this Black Friday price to stick around long.
