Now that it's November, it's time to get serious about the holiday season. For many of us, that means the struggle of detangling and trying to hang lights in frigid temperatures. While a more permanent holiday light set can bring all that cheer without the humbug, the price of such lights can be pricey. The good news is, right now one of our favorite smart light brands, Govee, is offering the Santa's Beacon bundle for $50 off . Plus, Amazon also has this exact bundle listed for $40 off when you clip the on-page coupon. Either way, you'll save a good chunk of money on a very festive light display.
Regularly priced at $450, you'll pay $400 at Govee or $410 at Amazon for the Santa's Beacon bundle. This includes one 100-foot strand of Govee H705E permanent outdoor lights and one 96-foot Govee H7038 outdoor string lights. You also get a 4.9 by 6.6 foot Govee H70B3 curtain lights set. And it all comes packaged in a cheerful holiday box, ready for gifting.

All of the lights are compatible with smart home devices, such as Alexa or Google Home, so you can use voice command to turn them on and off, change the colors or brightness or or use animation effects. They can also be controlled through your smartphone via the Govee app. You can set an auto timer for any display, so even if you're not home the lights will come on at the regularly scheduled time. If you're really feeling your inner Clark Griswold, you can sync the entire light display to music.
The lights have an IP65 waterproof rating and can handle outdoor temperatures ranging from -4 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, so you don't have to worry about them burning out in the first snow storm -- and you can literally leave them up year round.
