I’m not sure if we’ve mentioned this yet, but Govee has been on a tear lately, having recently announced everything from rechargeable table lamps to multicolor, Matter-compatible ceiling lights that can display custom images with retro, pixelated flair. In April, the company also unveiled a 34-foot set of Outdoor Solar String Lights, which are now on sale at Amazon for $79.99 ($20 off) thanks to an on-page coupon.
Govee Outdoor Solar String Lights
Where to Buy:
Although you can charge Govee’s first set of solar-powered string lights via USB-C, they can last up to 13 hours using the included 6W panel and its integrated 4,800mAh battery, which requires a single day of sunlight to fully charge. Each of the eight all-weather, IP67-rated LED bulbs has a maximum brightness of 50 lumens, though, unsurprisingly, Govee’s runtime estimates assume you limit the brightness to just 10 lumens. The higher the intensity, the shorter the battery life.
Like most of Govee’s color-changing smart bulbs, the company’s Solar String Lights can produce warm white light or one of 16 million different hues, which you can set using Govee’s accompanying mobile app for Android and iOS. There, you’ll also be able to choose from 100 preset scenes, schedule the lights and their brightness intensity, or even set them to dynamically react to whatever music is playing in the background. I’ve always found the latter feature to be somewhat gimmicky party trick, but hey, to each their own, right?
More ways to save today
- Amazon Pet Days doesn’t kick off until May 11th; however, you can already save on the Petcube Fountain at Amazon, where you can grab it with a stainless steel basin starting at $59.99 ($10 off). The excellent fountain features a spacious 57-ounce water tank, four-layer filtration, a 2,600mAh battery that can last about three weeks per charge, and a UV-C light that supposedly keeps unwanted bacteria at bay. It’s also surprisingly quiet, which is one of the reasons we flagged it as one of our favorite pieces of pet tech.
- Now through May 10th (or while supplies last), Verge readers can purchase the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra at Wellbots for $786.75 (about $393 off) when they use promo code VERGEAQUA25 at checkout. The roller-style mopping vacuum is one of Dreame’s more unique models in that it packs 30,000Pa of suction power and, more impressively, the ability to clean itself in real time. It also has lidar navigation, can climb small (read: 3.15-inch) thresholds, and comes with a multifunction charging dock that isn’t a total eyesore.
- I admit, I am nowhere near as jazzed about the upcoming Star Fox game as some of my colleagues. That said, if Fox McCloud’s recent appearance in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie and the mere thought of replaying Star Fox 64 with redesigned characters and upgraded visuals have you excited, you can preorder a physical copy at Amazon and Walmart for $49.94 ($10 off). That’s the same price as the digital edition, mind you, but given Nintendo is now charging $10 more for the physical edition of all upcoming Switch 2 titles, it’s still a welcome discount for anyone who prefers a hard copy.
