Every bulb on Govee’s new outdoor string lights can display multicolor effects

Govee has announced a new set of outdoor string lights that allows for more color customization than competitors’ products, as well as the company’s existing color-changing set. Similar to its Outdoor UpDown Wall Light introduced in July 2025, Govee’s new Outdoor Chromatic String Lights don’t limit you to just one color per bulb. You can customize each individual one with multiple colors, gradients, and animated effects. Available starting today through Govee’s online store and Amazon, the Outdoor Chromatic String Lights are available in two lengths: a 32-foot option with 10 bulbs for $169.99 and a 65-foot version with 20 bulbs for $299.99.

Inside the bulbs, you’ll find 55 RGB LEDs that work together to either create solid colors or multi-color gradients that can be animated with smooth transitions that differ on every single one. Each bulb also features 54 dedicated white LEDs that output up to 240 lumens of illumination, so you can alternately set them all to a neutral white glow to effectively light up a backyard space. Customizing the colors and lighting effects or choosing from one of 12 music-reactive modes is all done through the Govee Home app. But the Outdoor Chromatic String Lights are also Matter-compatible or can be integrated into Amazon and Google smart home setups and controlled through voice commands.
