I hate the overhead light. These are a perfect way to battle seasonal depression, bring on the darkness, my apartment is a rainbow now. I was looking for something brighter and more customizable than the LED lights I installed a few years ago. These took my apartment from "neat" to "amazing." The brightness was exactly what I was looking for to be bright without being as overpowering as "the big light" overhead. The modes are incredible, there is something for every vibe. Some are a little too flashy/overstimulating for my taste, I wish you could customize the Govee modes little more with the sections. At least you can customize the app to only show your favorites. The DIY modes allow you to control the colors and brightness throughout the different sections. They aren't as pretty as the Govee modes, but perfect for everyday settings. I have created the perfect "nightlight" for each strip only illuminating one section at 1% and it's perfect for nights when I wake up to get a glass of water. Best of all- these don't hum/buzz. I could hear the previous strips I had which made me not want to use them near my bed or in rooms without music playing. These- silence. It is a relief as someone who gets overstimulated easily. Suggestion, buy the longer size if you're not sure what size you want. I've enjoyed gathering the extra middle section behind bulky objects like my mirror and fridge. It works really well for settings that start in the center and makes it brighter in more recessed areas. The swirl of different colors back there can look really cool too. These are completely worth the upgrade and are a little addicting once you get started and add in the music box. I listen to way more music now that my home dances with me every night.

The Govee RGBICW LED Strip Lights are one of the better strip lights I have purchased. The customization is more than you could ask for except the finger sketch, it could be a bit more complex and customizable. The color spectrum is very wide providing many solid soothing colors, yet still some colors like purple, pink, and lighter shades of blue or other colors are still lacking the effect of one solid color and are more of a mix of many. Other than those two minor things these are a great set of led strip lights and I can't wait to see the technology keep moving forward. - A Govee Customer -

Installing was a bit annoying with sticky tape not holding. Clips are a bit bulky and not enough to mount lights. I ordered some more smaller clips to finish the install. Learning to operate the lights with the Govee app was a bit confusing. Once you figure it out, the lights work well and look good.

After only 11 months of being used, the control box started to make a high pitch sound when on or not. As long as it was plugged into the wall the high pitch sound was there. Extremely annoying and no way to fix it. I suspect low quality parts in the controller. Unsure if I would buy again, as company did not make it right.

I bought these as under-cabinet lighting for my kitchen. The end mount turned out pretty well and the white quality is pretty decent for a strip that doesn't have any dedicated white LEDs. I almost returned them however because Govee markets these strips as not cuttable to size. I tried cutting them anyways and found they work just fine if you cut them at the zone connecting points every few feet (the solder points). You can cut between those points too, but it's a little unpredictable how many dead LED nodes will be left. Govee should consider supporting cutting these strings to size a little more prominently and modifying the design of the H61BA to communicate ideal cut points better.

Sometimes an extra 2-3 feet would finish a project. Even though it may compromise some power output, it would be nice to make a project look more complete than string another power cable

Great item high-quality looks great under my cabinet lighting. I'm a huge fan of Govee products and own a lot of different items every item my own I absolutely love.

I've had several different brands of LED strips. Govee is the top for me. The brightness, quality of colour, the control of segments for best lighting. Best lights!!!

If you dont have the need to cut them to size, they are AWESOME.. Unreal lighting... I wish I was able to cut them to size though. I had to put the remainder through the sheetrock wall and also in a pipe (in another room)...

I have purchased so many of these strip lights and they've never let me down. Proud Govee affiliate and recommend any Govee product to all of my friends. The price you pay for the feature and quality you get is unbeatable.
