Philips Hue’s Festavia string lights are nearly $60 off (and still available) for Black Friday
This holiday season, elevate your home’s festive atmosphere with Philips Hue’s Festavia string lights, now available at a significant discount during Amazon’s Black Friday sale. The 65-foot strand is priced at $145.19, a remarkable $97 off its original price, while the longer 130-foot version can be snagged for around $237.60, saving you about $158. These prices mark the lowest seen since the lights were introduced, making it the perfect time to invest in these high-quality decorations that promise to make your home the talk of the neighborhood.
Philips Hue Festavia lights are not just any ordinary string lights; they feature individually addressable LEDs that can produce a stunning array of colors and preset scenes, creating an enchanting holiday display both indoors and outdoors. Rated IP54, they are durable enough for outdoor use, whether you want to adorn your porch or illuminate your Christmas tree. Additionally, when paired with a Hue Bridge or the newer Bridge Pro, these lights unlock advanced features such as music synchronization and automation capabilities. You can easily control them through the Philips Hue mobile app, allowing you to set schedules and ensure your home looks festive even when you’re away. Plus, with Matter compatibility, they seamlessly integrate with major smart home platforms like Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home, enhancing your smart home experience during the holidays.
For those on a tighter budget or seeking alternative options, Govee’s Christmas String Lights 2 are also on sale, offering a more affordable yet appealing choice. A 66-foot strand is available for $63.99, while a 99-foot option is just $74.99. These lights also boast an IP65 rating for outdoor use, but the included power adapter is only IP44-rated, which is something to consider for outdoor setups. While Govee’s lights come with their own app, it lacks the intuitive design and extensive preset scene options that Philips Hue offers. Ultimately, whether you choose the premium Philips Hue Festavia lights or the more budget-friendly Govee options, both will add a magical touch to your holiday décor this season.

If you want your house to be the one everyone slows down to look at this holiday season, Philips Hue’s Festavia lights can make that happen. They aren’t cheap, but thanks to an ongoing Black Friday sale at Amazon, you can still grab a
65-foot string for $145.19 (about $97 off)
or a lengthier
130-foot strand for around $237.60 (about $158 off)
, which is the lowest price we’ve seen on either strand since they were first introduced.

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. What’s great is you can use them indoors and outdoors thanks to their IP54 rating, so if you don’t want to decorate your porch or walkway, you can use them to dress up your Christmas tree or stair rails.
The lights will work over Bluetooth, but with a
Hue Bridge
or
newer Bridge Pro
, 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 — like color-changing light strips, spotlights, and bulbs — so you can create a festive light show that’ll 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’re not home. And because they support Matter, they work with all major smart home platforms, including Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home.

If you’re looking for something more affordable or additional size options,
Govee’s Christmas Lights 2
are also on sale right now. You can grab a 66-foot strand from
Amazon
and
Govee
for $63.99 ($36 off), or a 99-foot strand for $11 more (
Amazon
/
Govee
). The longer 164-foot set is also available for $129.99 ($70 off) from
Amazon
and
Govee
, while the 328-foot string can be had for $249.99 ($150 off) at
Amazon
and
Govee’s online storefront
. As for how these prices stack up to prior sales, these are the best we’ve seen, regardless of strand length.
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’s companion app isn’t as intuitive as Philips Hue’s, either, and the Festavia lights still offer a better selection of preset scenes.
