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.

I love these lights and the color range etc, HOWEVER I am beyond frustrated with them falling off/not sticking properly! We even primed the area first to ensure that they would stick! Trying to find brackets to somehow secure them instead…., had they come with the kit I would have given them 5stars

My wife has wanted Christmas lights on a house since she was a little girl. I wouldn't do it because of not wanting to spend a whole weekend every year climbing up and down a ladder. Permanent outdoor lighting is making my wife's dreams come true. And the install took less than half a day so it made my dreams come true too! Outstanding!!!

Shipped quick. Good packaging. Lights and wire well made - should hold up in the elements. Instructions for install good. Hooked up to BT and Wifi first try. Very capable software - would nice to have good descriptions of each feature and menu setting. Might exist but I didn't find it. Experimented with it for some time and figured it out. Looks great on house. Glad I bought it.

Finally took the plunge this year and bought a couple sets of Govee LED permanent lights. After a little prep work, the installation was a breeze. We have the house lights on 2 different timers. Christmas theme on the house until 11:00pm and then plain whites at 50% until sunrise. Along with the curtain lights, our house is again the talk of the neighborhood!

Installed one set on the front of the house for Christmas. Will install the other set this weekend on the backside of the house. Neighbors love the light shows and we're glad we can leave them up after the holidays! We have several Govee products and these are just as great as the others!

I really have a hard time looking for an outdoor lights when christmas is upcoming, when i found out about govee i didnt hesitate to try to buy it but its always sold out last yr, found out that its available we decided to get one we absolutely love it its freaking awesome.. i dont need to take it out and put it back when holiday time is coming. I really recommend it they will love it too

Highly recommend these lights. There are so many modes/scenes to pick from. Can’t wait to use these year round with the warm white option during the off holiday seasons. Had them up for almost a week and they are all still sticking very well under the very windy/wet conditions.

Me and my 10 year old grand son installed these lights around the enture house. Easy as pie! The lights are awesome. The options for different settings and colors are just over incredible. Easy to use, when my wide lets me turn them on!?!?. I only wish they were a little bit brighter. That not to say they are to dim. Over all i loce them. Best money i spent on exterior light by far!

The lights look good but the app is lacking in what you can really do to customize your display. Especially when paired with other Govee products such as the RGBIC flood lights. You can only use their preset scenes to make them synchronized and match up.
