Lights are great and work as stated. No issues with the function. Only thing that would be nice is if the wires and light pods came in colors. Not everyone has white soffit, and if they are marketed as "permanent" it would be nice if they didn't stand out on the house they were placed on. Tan, White, Brown, Black maybe search the most popular siding colors in the US. Otherwise love the lights and will pry continue to buy more products. Also a desktop version of the app would be nice for the wifi connected lights. When selecting the individual lights for colors it is hard to select them with fat fingers. A steady on multi-color function would be nice not everything has to move.

A) Installed these about 20 inches from face of wall, on some wedge shaped trim so they aim back towards the wall. Light is less intense, but still puts color all over the wall (and fascia does a good job hiding the pucks from the street). B) Govee needs to offer spare extensions. Used the 12 foot one that came with the kit, but would have loved to be able to buy these separately, maybe even on that is half as long. Would give people more options for layout. Offer spare wire clips, while you're at it. C) App still needs work. For one thing, setting an automation (FYI, on at sunset) needs more customization. Able to delay past a given time, but not BEFORE. ALL of my other RGBs allow customization before sunset. Another item would be to allow user to zoom in on individual pixels for a custom lighting effect. Some of us have large fingers, or are using a phone to customize, so selecting an individual pixel can become a struggle. But... I'm happy with my install, I'm glad I purchased them. Only took a star off due to the items above, which I think are solvable by Govee.

1st I'm going to say I love these lights. 2 out of my 3 strands of my 50ft set work great. But one stand is definitely defective. The defective strand dims intermittently. At first I questioned if it was just part of the different lifts settings but no, there is definitely an issue going on. The annoying part is that the defective strand is at the highest point of my roof. ! Let's see how well Govee stands behind their warranty.

Installed these yesterday. They look amazing and pictures don’t do them justice. Still learning all of the features. I also installed the retro fit 6” lights outside for the full lighting effect. Excited to see how they hold up. Installed was easy. Take the time to do it right. I used a small block of 2x4 as a spacer from the siding.

If you read the 1/2 star reviews, it's nothing but people complaining because they tried to order them right before Christmas and couldn't because, of course, everyone else had the same idea and so they went out of stock. I'm here to tell you that once installed correctly, these lights are a huge game changer. My wife thought it was a waste of money until I turned them on the first night and she was blown away. She was sending pictures to everyone in her Snapchat showing off the new lights. You won't regret it one single bit!!

Very happy with my purchase, will definitely be adding more to the back yard! My main thing was adding some lights to the front and being able to set a timer. They turn on their own at night and turn off once it's light out. Plus being able to customize them for the holidays is just great, cannot wait!

1: I like the way the lights can be hidden in the eves of the roof. No more putting up and taking down lights every year. 2: There are a lot of different combinations of lighting options by using the app. 3: The app is not super intuitive could use some refinement. It would be nice to be able to program daily random lighting effects. 4: It would be nice if Govee would sell separate extensions cords as well as the extra string of lights.

I have been putting up lights for 20 plus years for the holidays and as much as I enjoy the results it is a burden doing it every year. Now that I have the permanent lights on our home I couldn't be happier, already Halloween and fall has been amazing and now as a retired veteran I can't wait for veterans day. Then of Christmas will be an all new experience. Thank you for such a wonderful and versatile product.

I absolutely love my new permanent lights and have gotten numerous compliments from neighbors and even had several say they were going to put some up next year after seeing mine. While the installation was pretty simple and the kit came with some good hardware and accessories, it just baffles me that they do not include enough clips for every light, the adhesive is great, but it's far from "permanent", particularly in harsher environments. The other thing that confounds not only me, but many other customers is the decision to NOT sell the extension cable separately. I was fortunate that I only had 1 break in my run and the included extension covered it, but that isn't the case for everyone. Selling extra extension cables separately seems like a simple add-on and a no brainer. That being said, I would still recommend the lights and am very happy with my purchase.

I am very impressed with how amazing these lights look. I got the 100' kit and love how they look on the house. Installation was very easy other than working off a 24' extension ladder with bees buzzing around but the low roof went very quick. After installing the first 3 strands along the upper roof keeping the lights spaced as far apart as they could be, I plugged them in and played around with all the different patterns. Seeing how bright they are at night and even in the day, I decided to not continue the lights around the side of my house where they might be annoying for the neighbors. Instead I hung them along the front porch and tried putting the lights closer together so I could fit two strands and have pretty even spacing. So far they have exceeded my expectations and I can't stop playing with all the different colors and patterns! I haven't quite figured out how to fully use the DIY thing to make custom patterns yet but I'll get there. Wondering if there's any way to download other people's designs or maybe add more scenes somehow?
