Introduced at IFA 2026, the new Govee outdoor lights have bulbs that display multiple hues. The weather-resistant lights support complex preset or AI-programmed patterns. Sold in 100- or 200-foot lengths, the Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 debut on September 7th.

At IFA 2026, Govee is unveiling its latest solution for illuminating home exteriors. The Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Pro use a dual-layer design, allowing each bulb to emit two colors. They also offer a wider color range for intricate effects and more flexible installation.

The Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Pro ship on September 7th from Amazon or the company’s store. Buyers can select a 100-foot length for $499.99 or a 200-foot option costing $799.99

More versatile lighting

The smart light giant believes a new dual-faceted construction will convince some homeowners to upgrade. Each unit contains a pair of independently controlled IC chips. With an angled base, two zones cast different colors, producing dynamic scenes and smoother transitions.

Its 55-lumen-per-light brightness is similar to previous models, but the color temperature range has been expanded. The 1000K–10000K spec promises more diverse and vivid hues. Since the Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Pro shine year-round, they are better equipped to celebrate all seasons.

Installing the outdoor lights

Beyond the high price, installation concerns may make some skeptics hesitate. However, the manufacturer bundles a Y-splitter cable, which lets installers route the strings in multiple directions. It’s also possible to detach and reattach the bulbs to brackets without removing adhesive from surfaces. The new Govee outdoor lights are IP68 rated to survive harsh weather and reduce maintenance.

Buyers can choose from over 100 preset scenes to commemorate major holidays. More options regularly appear in the Govee app on Android and iPhone. Additionally, the AI Lighting Bot 2.0 invites users to program custom patterns with voice prompts.

The Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Pro embrace Matter, expanding compatibility with smart home platforms. Like other products from the smart light maker, native support for Amazon Alexa and Google Home is available.

personalize their outdoor spaces with dynamic, dual-layered lighting effects that match their
home’s unique style.


"As the creator of the permanent outdoor lighting category, Govee has continuously set the

performance, enabling seamless transitions from soft pastel tones to vibrant, high-saturation
shades.


With AI Lighting Bot 2.0, users can simply describe their desired lighting style and generate
customized dual-layer effects, creating unique lighting designs across different areas of their
home exterior. Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Pro also features 8 “Iconic Wonders”
themed lighting effects, inspired by nature’s most stunning landscapes, bringing distinctive
lighting experiences to outdoor spaces with ease.


Designed for More Homes, More Possibilities
Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Pro is designed to deliver a more flexible installation
experience, helping homeowners adapt their lighting setup to different home layouts and
exterior designs. The exclusive independent control Y connectors enable split light strings to
operate completely different lighting effects after branching, making it easier to create
customized installations across complex layouts and diverse home designs.


Built for year-round outdoor performance, Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Pro features
light strings with an industry-leading IP68 waterproof rating, designed to withstand rain,
snow, and extreme weather conditions while delivering reliable long-term illumination.
