Manufacturer description

The Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 solve the annual ladder ritual: install this 150ft RGBIC track once along your roofline, patio, or backyard and leave it up year-round. RGBIC addressing means individual segments render different colors at the same time, so you get 16 million colors and 100 preset scene modes instead of a single-color wash. The Govee Home app handles remote switching, timers, DIY patterns, and AI-generated lighting effects, so you can trigger a holiday scene or team colors for a game while you are away from home. Music mode and DreamView sync the run into one-tap light…

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cut these lights to fit my roofline?

No. Govee states the Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 cannot be cut. Plan your layout around the fixed segments; a run supports a maximum of 9 light segments and 4 extension cables (two 12ft and two 4ft).

Are they actually rated to stay up through winter and rain?

The light strip is IP67 waterproof and the control box is IP65-rated, which is what makes year-round installation the intended use rather than seasonal takedown.

What kind of outlet do they need?

Govee specifies a covered Class A GFCI receptacle inside a weatherproof enclosure, rated for use whether or not the attachment plug cap is inserted. That is a requirement, not a suggestion.

Do these work with my existing Govee permanent outdoor lights?

No. Govee explicitly warns against connecting Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 (models H705D/H705E/H705F) with the original models H705A/H705B/H705C or the Permanent Outdoor Lights Elite.
