Smart lighting may be the quickest and easiest way to transform a space. We at WIRED have been writing about it more and more recently because it can spruce up your home decor and bring a futuristic feel, enhance your entertainment with synced lights, or just change the vibe of a space for less than a total home renovation. Lighting brand Govee has quickly become one of our favorite brands for smart lighting because of their versatile and affordable range. We’ve extensively tested Govee products, and we feel as though there’s a Govee smart light product for pretty much every need, room, or vibe.
Permanent eave lights that attach to the exterior of your home are becoming more popular. But are they worth the effort and cost?
How Can I Get a $5 Govee Discount Code?
When you register your email, you’ll get a $5 Govee coupon on your first order, just apply the code at checkout. Why not give the gift of good lighting? When you refer a friend, you can also get a $5 discount. As you know, sharing is caring, and the referred friend also receives $5 off their purchase. (Both must be first-time purchases at Govee to qualify.)

Highlighting our Favorite Govee Lights
Govee’s expansive lineup can be a bit confusing, but we have a handy guide on what the deal with each smart light is, and what type of room (and person) will work best for which light. We named the Govee M1 LED Light Strip as the best overall for its blazing bright, vibrant color LEDs and its surprising affordability—this light strip is perfect for recessed areas in your home.

We also named the Govee Glide Hexa Pro 3D Panels as our pick for best panels. If you’re looking to seriously up the hypnotizing-yet-chill stoner-esque aesthetic, we like these panels for their unique animated effects and ability to sync to music or connect to your existing RGB gaming setup. Speaking of gaming, we named the Govee AI Gaming Sync Box Kit the best lights for gaming, which reviewer Simon Hill praised as “easily one of the best smart lighting options for gamers.” He rated it as an 8/10 WIRED Recommends for its vibrant colors, accurate screen syncing, versatility, ability to customize, and as a plus, it works with Google Home or Amazon Alexa.

The Govee Envisual T2 is the best light for your TV, as it syncs lights to what’s happening on your TV to turn your living room into your own personal IMAX-esque experience. Prefer being outside? We named the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights Pro as our favorite outdoor light, even putting it in our Best Christmas Lights guide. We liked the ability to customize the lights via app, which has a wide choice of animated scenes covering different holidays, tons of colorful styles, or you can opt for a classic white light for a classy look.
This smart syncing system brings immersive, vibrant lighting to your PC or small TV.
