It's time to start decking the halls, and Amazon's Black Friday sale has an offer that's perfect for bringing some festivity to your home's exterior.

Govee's popular outdoor lights are available in 100 ft, 150 ft, and 200 ft variations, and every single size is currently on sale. The 100 ft kit is on sale for $280 -- a savings of $160 on the high-tech upgrade. This price directly matches the savings we saw offered during Amazon's fall Prime Day event in October, and is still the lowest price these lights have sold for.
ZDNET writer Artie Beaty purchased these lights in 2023 to upgrade his home for Halloween and Christmas, but was impressed with how great they look all year round. Beaty says in his review that the lights are weatherproof and have a lifespan of 50,000 hours, which is roughly equivalent to more than 17 years of use at eight hours every night.

So, these are pricey (although cheaper during Black Friday). But your cash gives you a year-round accent to your home, and truly next-level seasonal lights that you can control from your phone.

"I couldn't be happier with Govee's permanent outdoor lights. I'm getting more use out of them than I thought I would, and the use I planned on (holiday displays) is even better than expected," Beaty says.
