Transform your home into a dazzling holiday spectacle with the Philips Hue Festavia Christmas lights, now available at unprecedented discounts during Amazon’s early Black Friday promotion. A 65-foot strand is currently priced at just $145.19, saving you nearly $97, while the more extensive 130-foot option is around $237.60, marking a substantial reduction of approximately $158. These figures represent the most competitive prices since the product’s initial launch.
These premium string lights deliver vibrant, rich colors through individually addressable LEDs, allowing for intricate lighting displays. A wide array of enchanting preset scenes helps you craft a mesmerizing effect that easily surpasses many competing products. Their IP54 rating ensures safe operation both indoors and outdoors, offering flexibility whether you’re illuminating your porch, lining a garden path, or decorating your Christmas tree and stair railings.
While Bluetooth connectivity provides basic control, integrating a Hue Bridge or the newer Bridge Pro unlocks advanced capabilities. This includes setting up automations and synchronizing the light patterns with your favorite music. They integrate seamlessly with other Philips Hue devices, such as color-changing light strips, spotlights, and smart bulbs, enabling you to design a comprehensive and festive light show. The user-friendly mobile app allows for simple scheduling, so your lights can turn on and off automatically, even when you’re away. Compatibility with Matter ensures these lights work across all major smart home ecosystems, including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home.
For those seeking a more budget-friendly alternative or different size options, Govee’s Christmas Lights 2 are also on sale. A 66-foot strand is available for $63.99 (a $36 saving), and a 99-foot version costs just $11 more. The 164-foot set is priced at $129.99, saving you $70, while the massive 328-foot string is $249.99, a full $150 off. These are the lowest prices we’ve observed for these models, regardless of the strand length you choose.
Similar to the Festavia lights, the Govee Lights 2 support Matter and carry an IP65 rating for reliable indoor and outdoor use. It’s important to note, however, that the included power adapter is only rated IP44. The LEDs feature drop-style heads rather than bullet heads, which work well for roof lines but may not provide the same dramatic effect on a Christmas tree. The Govee companion app is generally considered less intuitive than the Philips Hue application, and the Festavia lights continue to offer a superior and more varied selection of preset lighting scenes.
