Before there were permanent outdoor lights you could leave up all year long, there were smart string lights that could adapt to whatever holiday or mood you needed them to. Now, Govee is back with a brand-new set of smart string lights that manage to cram an entire rainbow of color into every single bulb.Over the years, I’ve tried out loads of different Govee smart lights. I've tested everything from its smart curtain lights that turn a wall into a customizable pixel art canvas, to its hardwired ceiling lights that can instantly transform a dark hallway. However, it was the company’s smart string lights that finally convinced me to ditch Philips Hue and its much more expensive ecosystem behind for good.I used my first set of Govee smart string lights to decorate my porch year-round so I wouldn’t have to deal with the annual hassle of putting up and taking down holiday lights. Later, when we put up a fence to finally seal off our side yard from the street, I used a newer set of Govee string lights to decorate that, too.After seeing Govee’s latest string light innovation back at CES, I knew I had to find a place for them in my yard. With a few poles mounted in the ground and some hooks screwed into the side of my porch, I managed to do just that and I’m incredibly glad I did. Govee’s Outdoor Chromatic String Lights are a sight to behold at night — but shockingly, they look equally stunning during the day.Here’s why they’re worth the extra splurge, especially if you want to add some much-needed color to your next backyard gathering, be it day or night.A more colorful redesign
