Govee has released the Holiday Pattern Projector, a $150 device capable of illuminating up to 1,500 square feet. This smart-home compatible projector features 16 interchangeable graphic discs and supports integration with existing lighting ecosystems.

The unit covers 1,500 square feet, more than double the 679 square feet provided by Govee's 2025 model. It is rated IP67 for weather resistance, surviving immersion in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes, and operates in temperatures ranging from -4 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
