I worked hard to put up these permanent lights and unfortunately they way my soffits are I can only use the sticky part to install them. I cleaned with alcohol first and let dry then I installed on an 80 degree day and I pressed each light hard for about 30 seconds so they would stick. Now I have about 5 that have come loose in different areas and I dread getting the ladder back out to try and make them stick again. The lights are beautiful and would be perfect if they had other options where you didn't have to rely on only the 3m tape to hold them up.

The lights are really nice however, I can’t believe that you can’t buy an additional extension cord for them. Now my house has an area without lights and I am stuck with a strand of lights that I’ll never use. Keep this in mind before purchasing them.

Sorry to say, but bought these lights for my mom. The app was super simple and easy for her to understand. However, the rest of the family liked them so much, they are looking into getting some as well! They were easy to install and the preset patterns are beautiful.

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

Our neighbor install something similar last week, my whole family said they disliked them. I could tell they were not Govee and installed too far away. That being said, I have to say I am beyond thrilled with this purchase! Install was very easy, spent more time laying out power lines + extension cord than installing lights. Then when we turned them on, our jaws hit the ground. They look professional and bright. The prebuilt scenes are great, we had a family vote for which Christmas setting we preferred. Your search is over, buy Govee!

These lights are everything we wanted in our outdoor lights, but at 1/10 of the cost of what other companies charge, which is a win in my book. They're really neat and I enjoy customizing their effects. I wish they were easier to cut and personalize that way to prevent strands from being where they don't belong (and thereby prevent me from having to edit each LED on the app--which is apparently only possible on one of the modes anyways?), but they're still very much worth the price and so fun.

I bought these lights for my husband because they can stay up year round. He absolutely loves them to the point of obsession. It was very easy and quick to put up the lights. He LOVES the app and the way he can control the colors and how they light up and turn the lights on and off. I could not have given him a better early Christmas gift.

The lights are really cool, but there are a few things that probably could be better. I didn't like the appearance of the lights upon install, and I tried a couple different places but none looked great. Hoping they come up with a brighter iteration of these lights that I can recess so they are hid den but still emit enough light to give the desired effect. In the meantime I've returned the lights as the price is hard to justify when the lights aren't perfect.

The 3M tape worked for about 24 hours in 75 degree weather. Directions show to hold for 5 seconds and I held it for 15 seconds and it still fell off. I pressure washed the day before and wiped off each spot like the directions show. I had to get 3D printed brackets for each light and now they are staying up great. I wouldn't count on the 3M tape sticking permanently.

While the lights and app work great, reality is that these lights defeat the whole purpose and best feature of permanent lights of being able to "set it and forget it". We followed all the installation instructions and unfortunately a few days after installation the lights began to fall. Initially it was no nig deal a light here and there, but little by little the lights keep falling. By now we have probably re-attached all 150 feet with the spare adhesive provided and some of the lights still fall. This is not acceptable and will be requesting a refund .
