Smart lighting is one of the best ways to dip your toes into the world of smart home devices. And for those of us looking to brighten up our backyards, driveways, and patios, one of the best lighting kits for the job is the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights Pro bundle. This IP67-rated strand of LEDs features 120 individual bulbs (and up to 200 feet of cord), and it’s one of the best Amazon deals we saw today. Right now, the Govee Lights Pro is actually part of an Amazon deal. If you purchase soon, you’ll be able to score a bundle for $790. At full price, this model sells for $850. It comes with a 200-foot strip of permanent outdoor lights and outdoor net lights.

Why you should buy the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights Pro bundle

Whether you’re looking to add flare to the exterior of your home or much-needed security lights for a backyard space, the Govee Lights Pro kit has got you covered. These Govee bulbs use anti-glare tech to provide an improved triangular lighting effect, making it easy to experience the full breadth of illumination. Not only will you be able to choose from 75 scene modes and 16 million color options (in the Govee app), but you’ll also be able to select a color temperature between 2700K and 6500K.

Thanks to the IP67 rating of the bulbs and the IP65 rating of the control module, you’ll be able to use these Govee bulbs come rain or shine. Illuminate your home anytime, be it the dead of winter or the middle of summer. And because you’ll be working with LEDs, each bulb should last up to 50,000 hours. Installing is a breeze, too, and everything you need to get the job done (including VHB glue and clips) is provided in the box. The kit has a total of 60 bulbs, and the 200-foot spool can be trimmed to the exact length(s) you need.

You’ll even be able to pair these smart lights with popular smart home controllers for expanded automations and voice assistant controls. The Govee Lights Pro is compatible with Matter, Alexa, and Google Assistant. They come with an outdoor net light set, in addition to the 200-feet strip.

Smart lights are available from most major retailers, but this is an offer you definitely don’t want to miss. Save more than $140 when you order the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights Pro on Amazon. We also recommend checking out some of the best Philips Hue deals if you’re looking for an alternative smart lighting brand.

Best home security camera deals: Ring, Arlo, Blink and more on sale
These are the best security camera deals available right now
Prime Day 2022 security camera deals graphic.

If you live somewhere that deals with a bit of crime and want a bit of security, a home security camera can be a good option, even if it's just to keep an eye 0n things. The great thing is that in the past decade or so, security cameras have come a long way, and nowadays, you can get things like wireless security cameras that let you access them remotely from wherever you are through an application. Of course, that does mean that there is a huge selection out there, which is why we've collected some of our favorite security camera deals below, although if you're in the Amazon ecosystem, it might be worth checking out these Ring camera deals.
EufyCam 2C Pro -- $70 $150 53% off

Another budget-friendly option is the EufyCam 2C Pro, which has a surprisingly long battery, up to a full year, an impressive number regardless of which way you cut it. It also has a pretty loud siren to warn you and, even more impressively, offers an anti-theft feature that triggers said loud siren. Unfortunately, it does have a couple of downsides, with the primary one being that faces aren't obvious at night, and that may impact identifying a trespasser. A lot of that has to do with the maximum 2k resolution, which isn't as high as other offerings on this list that go up to 4k. You will need an Amazon Prime membership to get this discount though.

More BLUETTI Black Friday deals for home power backup and more — Save over $200
BLUETTI Charger 1 visualization of it connected to power station in back of jeep

Continuing coverage of BLUETTI Black Friday deals, including one of its latest portable power stations the Elite 200 V2, we have a few more callouts worth taking a look at. Where before the main focus was home battery backup or a solid portable power option for off-grid, these deals are smaller in scope. The BLUETTI AC180 solar portable power station, for instance, features a 1,152-watt-hour capacity, which is not nearly as massive as what you get with the Elite 200 V2, but that's the point. It's manageable, has 11 outlets to power multiple devices simultaneously, and has a built-in MPPT charge controller and 500-watt solar input for fast charging via solar. It's best for use on the go or on the road, just like the BLUETTI Charger 1.

Enough about the gear, let's talk about those deal prices. As an aside, right now you can use code DT01 for an extra 5% discount on top of all sale prices. That code is exclusive to Digital Trends readers and applicable to all products on BLUETTI's website.

Home Depot’s “Build Your Own” Black Friday power tool deal is its best-kept secret
Home Depot consumer

Covering cordless power tools during Black Friday is surprisingly fascinating. Of the Black Friday deals I've covered so far this year, both Black Friday cordless drill deals and Black Friday power tool deals have been included included in my retinue, alongside a host of similar articles for our "brother" site The Manual.

There's one deal bundle among them all, however, that I've been utterly fascinated by this whole time. It's what I'm calling Home Depot's "build your own" power tool deal. This intriguing offering, which feels under advertised by Home Depot, seemingly inverts what we think of when we think of power tool deals. Instead of feeling stuck buying buying batteries separately — with a drill, with a big bundle, or with the lucky random battery — you're able (now) to build our deal and get everything you need, at a flat price. This means you can get the exact tool you want, and all the batteries you want with it, for as low as $99. Check it out yourself by tapping the button below, or keep reading to see what makes this deal so unique, how to shop it, and a few suggestions as to what you should buy.
