New YouGov research* finds 58% of U.S. adults interested in adaptable, year-round outdoor lighting, as Govee builds on its No. 1 market position to bring more possibilities to American homes.

BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Govee, a global leader in smart lighting, is championing a new approach to permanent outdoor lighting, moving beyond seasonal decorations to bring color, creativity, and ambiance into everyday life. Supported by new consumer research from YouGov and its No. 1** position in the U.S. household permanent outdoor lighting market, Govee is advancing a future where outdoor lighting becomes a lasting, versatile part of the home.

From Holiday Traditions to Everyday Experiences

Outdoor lighting has long been part of American holidays, but its appeal extends far beyond festive displays. A new nationwide consumer survey commissioned by Govee and conducted by YouGov explores Americans’ attitudes, habits, and expectations around outdoor lighting. The findings reveal that 40% want outdoor lighting to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Yet the effort required to decorate can get in the way of these experiences. According to the survey, nearly three in ten (27%) find putting up and taking down holiday lights frustrating, while 21% have skipped decorating for certain occasions because of the hassle. Notably, 23% say they would decorate more often throughout the year if it required less effort.

This gap between the experiences consumers value and the effort involved highlights an opportunity for more convenient, versatile outdoor lighting. 58% of U.S. adults express interest in lighting that stays installed year-round and adapts to different occasions, offering a potential alternative to traditional seasonal decorations.

The findings highlight the potential for permanent outdoor lighting to become a more versatile part of American homes, extending its value well beyond seasonal celebrations.
