The lights were difficult to install primarily because of the 4 clips that need to be screwed into every strand of lights. The screws provided do not fit into a standard Philips head bit making it a difficult job when working off of an extension ladder. The other issue is the lights can only be controlled from the GOVEE App. The app is not user friendly, requires an internet connection and is a bit of a PIA to navigate through. There should be an option to use the controller to change light settings. The lights should be brighter or more lights per strand. Not worth the money in my opinion.

Since I installed these lights all my neighbors can't get their own fast enough. Anytime I'm outside with them on they stop an ask ( WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR LIGHTS! ) Only issue I'm having is the 3m tape on some aren't holding up very well and I'm ever so often having to push them back up ( thank goodness my home is a single story ) but other then that I love them !

I managed to get two 100ft strands and just finished getting them up and running yesterday. The app installation process and setup was super easy. I installed each strand one at a time and the app automatically set them up in a group. Alexa integration was very easy. The lights simply put look incredible, and are very bright. I have them set at 40% at night which lights up the entire side of my house. The Govee app needs some work. I tried setting up a schedule in the app which wouldn't work. Also, when I select the lighting group (which combines both strands) and pick a preinstalled pattern like Valentines Day, the light colors change to Valentines Day colors but just stay at static colors. I have to select each strand individually and apply the lighting effects to each strand in order for the lights to change colors and brightness according to the selected pattern/effect. I can do this in Alexa Routines however, so it works but this is a quirk. Routines however in Alexa work very well, and once I did the Alexa pairing, the controls work better than using the app alone. I have found that even though Alexa allows you to set up a routine that is supposed to set the lighting plan as well as the brightness at the same time that the brightness doesn't change. I had to set two Alexa Routines - one to change the pattern to solid soft white at 10pm for night lights, and a second Routine at 10:01pm to change the brightness to 10% (so I don't bother my neighbors at night). I want to set up my lights after 10pm using segmenting so that only certain lights would be on, but I haven't figured out a way yet to do that and have it work with Alexa. It would be helpful if there was documentation on how to set up plans and Alexa integrations. You have to just play around to see what works. Also, I would say Govee should have molded tabs with screw holes into the light bases to make it easier to screw them up if desired instead of just relying on the tape. The tape is excellent 3m tape, but it isn't going to work in all situations, and when my feet are 12ft up on a ladder in the tallest eve on my house putting these up, I don't want to be back up there again in case tape fails. I screwed each light up of the two 100ft strands individually using led clips, but molded tabs with screw holes in the bases would have greatly simplified this job. Also, I had to contact support to verify that the two strands needed to be installed in the same direction, i.e. control/lights, control/lights, or lights/control, lights/control in order for patterns to work correctly. Their documentation does not specify this anywhere I can find. Their support replied very quickly. All being said, I am extremely pleased with these, and they are well worth the money. I can't stress enough how fantastic the patterns look, and they function excellently for security lighting also. They do come with a 3 yr warranty per the included documentation (also asked Govee support for clarification on this), not 1 yr like the Govee website says. I installed mine so that at a later date when they start selling extensions, I can easily expand my two 100ft strands so I can light the back of my house also since each controller can handle 150ft. Two 100ft strands was enough to light the front and both sides of my house skipping one 12ft section that doesn't need light. I am so glad I spent the money on these to get the RGBIC and Alexa integration vs just a basic set of LED strips.

Best value for money when you use the app so easily to customize however you please. It was simple to navigate and use the app for the lights. Also the install is really easy especially if you’ve always hung your own Christmas lights, didn’t feel like work at all. Amazing quality on the actual lights, vivid colors and bright, the price point is excellent because they seriously look way more expensive once you turn them on at night. I would highly recommend this product. Side note* when pressing the light bulb using their 3M tape I counted between 10-15 secs per lights to make sure it took to the surface* haven’t had any issues

I bought 150ft permanent outdoor lights. The kit is 150 ft and two extensions of 12 ft, that's 174ft all toguether. I started reeding on Govee website and there is a warning with red letters saying not to exceed 150ft. If I use any of the provided extensions I can't use some of the lights. Very disappointed!

Love these lights! The combo of pre-programmed settings and DIY controls is fantastic. Plus, I'm only scratching the surface of the capacity of these lights. Installation was fairly straightforward. A couple of the 3M adhesive squares didn't function as well as the others. Overall, though, these are a great product with solid equipment.

Only a few days in but really like it so far. Had 1 3m sticky that came loose and replaced it and all good for the first 4 days. Even customized the bulb color and that was easy too. However, 100 lights took about 3 hours to install so a bit time consuming, plan accordingly. I also did not realize it had a power brick that cannot get wet and was not prepared, make sure you have a way to keep that up and dry.

I can't believe how beautiful these lights look. Even with some pretty bad storms in my area they help up very well. Not very noticeable during the day at all. I love setting a weekly timer and seeing them on when I come home from work. I hope to purchase 50 more feet to finish off my house when I get the money. I have them turned down very low and they are still so bright and vivid. I have told all my family and friends about these. My neighbors are jealous.

We are very impressed with the service and speed that we received in getting replacement lights. We have the lights installed and everything is working great. We will refer all our friends to Govee. Again Thanks very much. Definitely appreciate everything you've done for us.

We just love and are so impressed with the Govee RGBIC LED Outdoor lights. The functionality & diversity of changing what you want on the App is incredible and so impressive. Most importantly I did not know how to use the App & had some questions on the product itself and so I reached out to Govee and they immediately responded to my needs & I was completely impressed by the service that I received. So impressed I bought another set and probably leaning to purchasing a third. LOVE IT !!!!
