| A new version of Govee’s Cone Tree Lights is coming |
Just as we are starting to pack away the decorations from the holiday season just passed, smart lighting giant Govee seems to be gearing up for the next one. Fresh off the successful launch of their unique Cone Tree Lights at the end of 2024, the company appears to be preparing a sequel.
Spotted in the database of the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA)—the governing body responsible for the universal smart home protocol, Matter—a new listing has confirmed the existence of the Govee Cone Tree Lights 2.
What We Know So Far
According to the certification filing, the new product (carrying the model number H6842) is designed to bring dynamic, colorful illumination to your outdoors. While the original version offered the flexibility of both indoor and outdoor use, the "2" appears to be leaning specifically into the garden and patio space.

Govee Cone Tree Lights 2 CSA Listing
The CSA listing confirms that the Cone Tree Lights 2 will support both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, ensuring seamless control via the Govee Home app. Most notably, the device will be compatible with Matter 1.3. This is a significant upgrade in terms of interoperability, as Matter certification guarantees that these festive trees will work smoothly within Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings ecosystems, rather than being locked solely to Govee's platform.
How Do They Compare to the Originals?
To get a sense of what the Cone Tree Lights 2 might offer, it helps to look back at the original Govee Cone Tree Lights, which are still dazzling customers this season.
The original versions are known for their towering, slender cone shape topped with a festive star. They utilize Govee’s proprietary RGBIC technology, which allows different sections of the tree to display multiple colors simultaneously, creating stunning, multi-dimensional light shows. They come packed with features like:
- 82 preset scene modes, including music-synced options that pulse and move to the beat.
- Availability in two sizes: a 6 ft (1.82 m) model and a larger 7.5 ft (2.28 m) model.
Given that the original models are numbered H6840 and H6841, the new H6842 model number suggests we might be looking at either a new size variant or a complete technological overhaul.
Release Date and Pricing Speculation
Govee has yet to make an official announcement regarding the Cone Tree Lights 2, so a release date remains a mystery. However, given the timing of the certification (early in the year), it is highly likely that Govee is preparing for a launch in the latter half of 2025, just in time for the Q4 holiday shopping spree.
Price-wise, consumers should expect a slight premium over the current generation. The original models currently retail at:
- Govee 6ft Cone Tree Lights: $159.99 on Amazon
- Govee 7.5ft Cone Tree Lights: $189.99 on Amazon
With the addition of Matter support and potential hardware upgrades (such as brighter LEDs or enhanced weather resistance for the new "outdoor" focus), the Cone Tree Lights 2 will likely carry a similar or slightly higher Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP).
The Bottom Line
While full specifications regarding size, colors, and lighting details are still under wraps, the arrival of the Govee Cone Tree Lights 2 in the CSA database is a strong indicator that the company is not resting on its laurels.
If Govee can combine the striking design of the originals with the seamless connectivity of Matter, they might just have the must-have smart decoration for the 2025 holiday season. Keep an eye on this space for the official unveiling.
