They aren\u2019t cheap, but thanks to an early Black Friday sale at Amazon, you can pick up a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0CGYJDTN7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">65-foot string for $145.19 (about $97 off)<\/a> or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0CGXZV8RV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">130-foot strand for around $237.60 (about $158 off)<\/a>, which is the lowest price we\u2019ve seen on either strand since they were first introduced.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>Philips Hue Festavia string lights<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/chorus\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25065575\/Philips_Hue_Festavia_string_lights_Press_Lifestyle_Image.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0CGYJDTN7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$241.99<\/strike> $145.19 at <strong>Amazon (65-foot)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0CGXZV8RV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$395.99<\/strike> $237.6 at <strong>Amazon (130-foot)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.philips-hue.com\/en-us\/p\/hue-white-and-color-ambiance-festavia-string-lights-250-leds\/046677585303\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$241.99<\/strike> $145.19 at <strong>Philips Hue (65-foot)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Festavia lights are impressive holiday string lights, boasting rich colors, individually addressable LEDs, and a variety of magical preset scenes that combine to create an effect that outshines most rivals.\u00a0What\u2019s great is you can use them indoors and outdoors thanks to their IP54 rating, so if you don\u2019t want to decorate your porch or walkway, you can use them to dress up your Christmas tree or stair rails.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The lights will work over Bluetooth, but with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Philips-Hue-Smart-Google-Assistant\/dp\/B016H0QZ7I\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hue Bridge<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Philips-Hue-Encryption-Accessories-SmartThings\/dp\/B0FMGNF87H\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">newer Bridge Pro<\/a>, you can take things even further with automations and the ability to sync the lights with your music. They also play nicely with other Philips Hue gear \u2014 like color-changing light strips, spotlights, and bulbs \u2014 so you can create a festive light show that\u2019ll dazzle the neighbors. As a bonus, you can set schedules in the easy-to-use mobile app, so the lights can turn on and off even when you\u2019re not home. And because they support Matter, they work with all major smart home platforms, including Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>Govee Christmas String Lights 2<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/Govee-Christmas-String-Lights-2-Product-Image.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Govee-Christmas-300LEDs-Mapping-Function\/dp\/B0D45BS8XH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$99.99<\/strike> $63.99 at <strong>Amazon (66-foot)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Govee-Christmas-300LEDs-Mapping-Function\/dp\/B0D455QDR9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$129.99<\/strike> $74.99 at <strong>Amazon (99-foot)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Govee-Christmas-300LEDs-Mapping-Function\/dp\/B0D45962RX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$199.99<\/strike> $129.99 at <strong>Amazon (164-foot)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">If you\u2019re looking for something more affordable or additional size options, <strong>Govee\u2019s Christmas Lights 2<\/strong> are also on sale right now.

As for how these prices stack up to prior sales, these are the best we\u2019ve seen, regardless of strand length.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Like the Festavia, the Lights 2 support Matter and can be safely used indoors or outside thanks to their IP65 rating. However, the included power adapter is only IP44-rated, and the LEDs use drop-style heads rather than bullet heads, which is fine for the roof but not nearly as striking on a Christmas tree. Govee\u2019s companion app isn\u2019t as intuitive as Philips Hue\u2019s, either, and the Festavia lights still offer a better selection of preset scenes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want your house to be the one everyone slows down to look at this holiday season, Philips Hue\u2019s [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-non-classe"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1776\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
