Thankfully, Govee’s Matter-ready LED Strip Light M1 is on sale to brighten up your day. Right now, you can buy the light strip for just $39.99 ($20 off) at Amazon, which matches its all-time low price. You can also buy it for $5 more directly from Govee.

If you miss seeing colorful holiday lights everywhere, then you’ll love Govee’s 6.56-foot (2m) light strip. The bright, tunable LEDs are capable of jazzing up your home with a wide range of vibrant colors and effects, making it almost feel as if it’s Christmas all over again. What’s even cooler is that the lights also flash and flow to the beat and rhythm of your music, which can add a cheery party vibe no matter how dreary it is outside. Even more conveniently, the strip supports Matter, so you can control it via most major smart home platforms.
