Govee’s trippy new light strip puts three lights in every bulb

Govee has some colorful new ideas for how a light strip can decorate your home. Its latest, the Permanent Outdoor Lights Prism, puts three lights in every bulb along the strip, with a prism lens above them that’s designed to create three distinct or blended beams of light.

The strip supports full color, and Govee imagines the three beams being used to create vibrant effects that a more traditional light strip — emitting a single color per bulb — wouldn’t be capable of. That includes either a more natural gradient transitioning from one fan of light to the next or stark multicolored blades that look far different than traditional Christmas lights.

Govee’s new strip supports Matter, Alexa, and Google Assistant, and it comes with an IP68 water- and dust-resistance rating so it can stay permanently mounted outside your house. The strips start shipping on September 22nd in the US. Pricing wasn’t shared before publication, but you can bet they’ll be expensive. Govee’s Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 run $330 for 100 feet, and its Permanent Outdoor Lights Pro run $440 for 100 feet.
