Are Govee permanent outdoor lights worth it over traditional Christmas lights?

According to the consensus among reviewers we read, yes — if you want year-round accent lighting plus holiday scenes without re-hanging strings every December. Consumer Reports' coverage of the Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 highlights the appeal of leaving them up year-round and switching scenes via app. The trade-off is upfront cost ($400–$850+) and a more involved install. Owners on r/Govee with 2+ years of use generally report the adhesive and lights hold up, but some report individual modules failing on longer runs.
