Got these lights as a gift. At first they were great, however after about 2 months of operation then began to turn off and flickers randomly (not part of any pattern or intended setting). So I reached out to Govee and they would not help me out unless I could provide a recipe from a gift… which I do not have. I usually like Govee products, but this one is a no go.

The lights are great and bright. Install is fairly easy as well. I wish the app would allow you to build your own customized shows / program lights on your own, with other Govee products. The pre-programmed routines are good, but more customizable on the app would be better

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.

The only reason I couldn't give this 5 stars didn't really have to do with the lights themselves persay, rather with Govee. I ran into the same problem as usually with Govee string lights, the lenghts avialable. You're always either too long, or just short. Govee needs to offer like, 5' and 10' sections you can add on. They offer a 16' foot but that's drastic. What about when your just short that it looks silly but you don't want to another 50' or 100'? This is something the company needs to offer and it would make things much easier in these situations.

I was not sure if this purchase would come as advertised. But sure enough I did receive the lights we installed them and are so happy with the lights and what I can do with them. I currently have them on xmas theme can't wait to play around withe the other seasons.

Awesome lights. But pricey but worth it, especially if they last as long as advertised and don't have to replace every few years. All my neighbors who comment say how beautiful they look and ask for details as they wanna buy the same. May be a little overwhelming to learn the options on the app, only because it provides many various options. A++++

I was excited to put these lights up. Paid a lot for the pro lights, because they were cuttable and were supposed to have extra. We got the 200ft cord and started putting them up and measured from light to light for one strand, and only ends up being 180', not 200' as advertised. They are counting the long power cord light as part of that length and now going to be short on the house. Really disappointed and not able to connect another strand due to 200' being the max. At least on the plus side, they do look great and lots of color options.

Followed the instructions for all 150 feet, and as a precautionary measure, we installed even more of the wire clips than they suggested. A new light falls every single day - it's insane. At this point, I assume every light will need a screwed-in clip next to it in order to stick. Of course, Govee does not provide those additional clips. For the money, It's not worth the hassle these lights have given us. Cool concept; terrible execution.

We really love these lights and knowing I won't have to go up on the roof to hang light ever again is a big plus. The install took a couple of days but that's more due to taking the time to do it right since they'll be permanent. We decided to install as soffit lighting, mounting to the inside of the fascia pointing back at the wall instead of the recommended wall lighting. We're not into 24/7 party lights so we'll use softer solid lighting in-between holidays.

I got all the lights installed and the process was simple. Lights all worked out of the box but once I got them all stuck to the soffit the last three went on the fritz. Sent in a Rapid Replacement warranty claim via app and email (to see which would be faster) and each response has taken 2 days (not bad imo). Sent over a video of the problem and I'm hoping to get these things LIT soon! They look amazing on the house, just wish all of them worked!
