Govee Launches Its First Solar-Powered Outdoor String Lights for $99

The move brings app-first controls to solar string lights that often lack smart features.

Overview

  • Govee, which announced the product Thursday, is selling the Outdoor Solar String Lights now for $99 on its site and on Amazon.
  • The lights use a 6W solar panel with a 4,800mAh battery that Govee says recharges in a full day of sun, with USB-C as a backup power option.
  • Govee states the system runs up to 13 hours at a low 10-lumen setting, while a 50-lumen maximum brightness cuts runtime significantly.
  • The app supports 100 preset scenes, music-reactive modes, battery level readouts, and schedules, and the LEDs claim up to 281 trillion colors with LuminBlend for smoother transitions.
  • The string includes eight color-changing bulbs on a 34‑foot cable and carries an IP67 waterproof rating for year-round outdoor use.
