Let me tell you something—I’ve always been a sucker for colorful LEDs. Whether it’s decking the house for Christmas or just making my outdoor space pop, I’ve wanted permanent outdoor lights for a while. When I stumbled upon the Govee RGBIC LED Permanent Outdoor Lights, I knew I had to give them a shot. Spoiler alert: these lights are awesome. Here’s why.

Why I Went with Govee
First off, the idea of permanent outdoor lights sold me. Who wouldn’t want to save the hassle of dragging out Christmas lights year after year? These lights stay up, look incredible, and work for any occasion—Christmas, Halloween, or just a random Tuesday when you feel like showing off.
The ease of installation was another big draw. I’m no electrician, but I was able to install these with minimal effort. Oh, and the look? Clean, colorful, and bright. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Installation: Fast and Simple
Let’s talk about installation. I thought it’d be a bit of a project, but honestly, it took less time than putting up regular Christmas lights. Govee includes VHB glue and clips, and these mounting stickers are no joke—they stick like their life depends on it. All you need is a ladder and some patience, and you’re good to go.
Now, I’ll be real with you: my one gripe is the lack of a Y-splitter for splicing multiple lines of lights. This might not matter for everyone, but if you’re planning a more complex setup, you’ll need to get a little creative—or head over to YouTube for some DIY solutions.
The App: User-Friendly and Functional
One of my favorite things about Govee products is their app. I’ve got a few Govee lights around the house already, so I’m familiar with how simple it is to control everything. The app makes it easy to customize colors, set schedules, and choose from the 75 scene modes. Want a Halloween vibe with orange and purple? Done. Classic white for a summer BBQ? Easy. It’s all there.
Performance: Bright, Clean, and Customizable
These lights don’t just look good—they shine. Literally. Each light is 26 lumens, and the brightness combined with the 16+ inches of wall-washing depth makes for a seriously eye-catching display. Plus, customizing them was a breeze. Even my picky family was impressed, and trust me, that’s no small feat.
The Verdict: Worth Every Penny
Sure, the price might feel a little steep at first, but when you consider how versatile these lights are—and how much time they’ll save you in the long run—they’re a solid investment. They’re durable (IP67 waterproof!), easy to control, and can be used year-round. Plus, Govee backs them with a three-year limited warranty, so you’re covered if anything goes wrong.
Bottom line? I’d recommend these to anyone looking to upgrade their outdoor lighting game. Whether you’re a holiday enthusiast or just want to make your home stand out, the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights are the way to go.
