After a substantial amount of feedback, Govee has launched a second generation of its popular Permanent Outdoor Lights. The first generation was released in 2023, with many people enjoy the versatility the lights provided but resented the unperceptive app performance. Govee has since worked on this, bringing the Permanent Outdoor Lights up to par with the best outdoor lights available.
The new version offers enhanced brightness, improved reliability and new Matter capability, all at the same price as the original Permanent Outdoor Lights. The smart lighting brand has also released the lights just in time for the festive season.
