Smart Outdoor String Lights 2, 144ft Outdoor Lights with Dimmable Warm White LED Bulbs, 47 Scene Modes for Patio, Backyard, Balcony, IP65 Waterproof, Works with Alexa, App Control

I recently installed the Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights in my backyard, and I gotta say, they’ve totally transformed my space! Setting them up was a breeze; I just followed the straightforward instructions. The smart app is user-friendly, and I loved being able to customize the colors and patterns to match my mood or the occasion. What really impressed me was the brightness. They illuminate my patio perfectly without being overwhelming. I’ve used them for a cozy dinner with friends, and they created such a warm atmosphere. Plus, the fact that I can control them from my phone is a game changer. I can adjust the settings right from my seat! The build quality seems solid, and they’ve held up well to some light rain, which is a plus. I appreciate how energy-efficient they are too. Overall, I’m really happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend these lights if you’re looking to add some charm to your outdoor space. They make nights on the patio feel extra special!

I love being able to change lights so easily. They look nice and I love changing the colors for different holidays or times of the year.

Works great. Easy installation, quick delivery.

I bought these lights in October 2025 after seeing all the glowing reviews and convincing myself the premium price meant premium quality. Initially, they looked great and worked exactly as expected. Unfortunately, it turns out I wasn’t buying permanent outdoor lighting. I was apparently signing up for a temporary lighting subscription. One entire strand has now snapped in THREE different places. Not one break. Not an accident. Three separate failures on the same strand. For what these cost, I expected durability and longevity. Instead, I’m left looking at lights that seem to have given up long before they should have. The fact that they’re expensive makes the quality issues even harder to overlook. I rarely write reviews because I generally assume products will either work or quietly fail without requiring a public statement. However, I would have appreciated seeing a review from someone who had owned these for more than a few months before I spent this kind of money. The lights are beautiful when they’re working, which is why this isn’t a one-star review. But if you’re paying a premium price because you expect a premium product, just know that my experience suggests these lights may be better at making a first impression than lasting the long haul.

Great and ease install. App allows to change different color patterns. Comes with hooks but we used different ones

Got these as a very delayed replacement for a cheaper set that ultimately failed after getting my house soft washed. They weren’t “smart lights” and had very minimal functionality. There’s about 1/2 the number of bulbs in this kit than I had before, but they have much higher capacity of brightness, colors, and options. At night, I only keep the brightness around 5-10% since it is an enclosed space and routinely very dark otherwise. Since it was a swap, I already had hook hardware up, so install was easy and straightforward. I have a 50’ set surrounding the interior of my patio. Length is spot on. All elements are above the screen line, tucked away from direct weather to reduce the chance of excessive exposure from storms, especially since the previous Walmart set failed so quickly after water intrusion. The only thing I wish I could do was lessen the length of power wiring since the beginning of the line was right where the power supply is located.

I purchased these Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights for my backyard, and they have completely transformed the atmosphere of the space. The lighting quality is excellent, and the RGBIC effects make the colors look vibrant, smooth, and much more customizable compared to standard outdoor string lights. One of my favorite features is the ability to control everything directly through the Govee app, which makes changing colors, brightness, scenes, and schedules extremely convenient. The app setup process was straightforward, and the lights connected quickly without any frustrating setup issues. I also really appreciate the wide variety of scene modes because it allows me to switch between relaxing warm lighting, colorful holiday themes, or more energetic effects depending on the occasion. The brightness level is impressive as well, providing plenty of illumination for patios, outdoor gatherings, or evening relaxation without being too harsh. The build quality feels durable and weather-resistant, and the lights have held up very well through rain, humidity, and changing outdoor conditions. Another feature I enjoy is the compatibility with Alexa and smart home controls, which makes it easy to adjust the lighting using voice commands when entertaining guests or relaxing outside. The bulbs themselves look modern and attractive, and the overall setup gives the backyard a very clean and upscale appearance at night. Overall, these are some of the best outdoor string lights I’ve owned, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to add customizable smart lighting and a more enjoyable atmosphere to their outdoor space.

Love these string lights! This is my third set and the app is very easy

Love everything about these lights. Customizable for every season in our yard. I mostly bought them so I could have lights on for my dogs when they go out at night but I also like them for myself. I like picking the fun preset colors and choosing my own patterns. You can adjust the brightness and timing. They were so easy to set up. Highly recommend!

These lights are easy to hang and include clips to further make the effort easier. They fit perfectly into a 10x10 gazebo attached to the struts. As advertised you can control the color and brightness of the lights. down to the individual globe, (maybe overkill). But, the App is easy to install and connect to. Many themes and preconfigured settings you can take advantage of with timers. The cost is higher than many similar products, but not by much. This is a solid product, works as advertised, and a great investment.

I purchased these earlier this summer. I have them on my patio now for about three (3) months and I am using them daily. They work great, good quality and I am not expecting any trouble. I installed these using a separate purchased kit on Amazon with the cable and hooks to hang these lights on. This is highly recommended because you can create a tight and straight line to simply hang the lights on. This way there is no strain on the Govee wire which carries the electrical power.

These lights are absolutely beautiful and amazing. Customer service is the best of the best. This is a solid product. Govee has amazing quality lights for the price. There is an amazing community within the app which could be overwhelming at times, but there is tons of help in the community. I have several Govee products and the addiction is on! Bright lights, great scences and very programmable. And for that reason I'm in!

They broke after one year. Hope I can get exchanged. Heavily disappointed. All died except one. My other Cheap string lights from Costco still going after 5 years. product has no quality control.
