I am so happy with my Govee 150' light install. I watched a bunch of YouTube videos on installation for tips and tricks. A week before installing I power washed. The day of installation I used rubbing alcohol on each light location as I went along. This should ensure a lifetime of adherence. I used a small block for spacing from the edges so all lights are uniform. Turning the lights on for the first time I felt like Clark Griswold! It's amazing to see the different lighting scenes come to life from the Govee Home app. I've set my schedule to come on at 4:30pm and turn off at 11:55pm. Once the holidays get in full swing I'll change it up for longer times and appropriate scenes. Can't wait for Christmas!!

These actually look really cool. Easy to use. But the tape used does not work well. Out of the 3 strands I used, at least a dozen lights became unglued. And it is not the mounting point. The 3M sticker stays on the wood. The sticker comes off the light itself. Even after I replaced the sticker, the sticker does not stick to the light. Very disappointing that I have a these lights just hanging in some spots

The lights look great when they are in place but that proved to be a problem after just one week when they had to survive their first rain. The adhesive pads failed en masse despite being "all weather" and having the instruction followed. I wont say the blame falls 100% with Govee, there is a lot of variables in play when it comes to use adhesive pads like this including activation pressure, the material you are applying it, and (even though 3m wont say it directly) humidity. It would be nice if an alternative mounting option was supplied given the price. The lights look good, but if they aren't staying up what is the point?

I absolutely love my new permanent lights and have gotten numerous compliments from neighbors and even had several say they were going to put some up next year after seeing mine. While the installation was pretty simple and the kit came with some good hardware and accessories, it just baffles me that they do not include enough clips for every light, the adhesive is great, but it's far from "permanent", particularly in harsher environments. The other thing that confounds not only me, but many other customers is the decision to NOT sell the extension cable separately. I was fortunate that I only had 1 break in my run and the included extension covered it, but that isn't the case for everyone. Selling extra extension cables separately seems like a simple add-on and a no brainer. That being said, I would still recommend the lights and am very happy with my purchase.

The second I lit up the lights, my 84 year old neighbor came outside and shouted out "Its beautiful!". I spoke to her and with tears in her eyes, she told me she doesn't get around well and hasn't seen any kind of Christmas lights in several years. She told me she really appreciated that I went all out and that she gets to see them. The fact they were super simple to install/ setup and look amazing (best display in the neighborhood) makes the cost well worth it! I plan on going even bigger next year, but working on it throughout the year since they are pretty much year round type lights! Thank you Govee for such a wonderful product. **Video has Govee Curtain lights (x3) and Govee Outdoor Permanent lights, as well as a star shower laser effect and points of light effect.

The lights need more brackets to secure them to soffits so that they don't sag when the “sticky"backs come loose in cold weather. The included bracket screws are somewhat of a joke as they are so small to hold onto while driving them into soffits. I ended up using hundreds of cable clamps with better crews to run 2 strands of 150 feet each.

I just finished installing 300 ft of white pro permanent lights. Connecting lights and setup, splicing was all very easy. My only complaint is with the adhesive for lights don't work long term and not enough clips for each light. I had lights falling off in less than 24 hours (appropriate prep was completed). Because I had done my research I had expected this and used the included clips at each light…there wasn't enough clips for each light as that is probably not the intention of those clips. As a DIY homeowner I don't want to have to worry about the adhesive coming off and having to get back up on ladder months or years later to fix a hundred lights when I can use screws to secure them once and be done. There should be more secure way to keep these lights maintenance free because most people won't trusts the adhesive to work long term for every light.

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.

So easy to install and the lights look great. Instructions are IKEA like, which comes with its pros and cons. App on the other hands needs some love. Using the copy function from others is the best… but need the ability to edit those you copy. DIY is a pain, but once done you get the same feeling of accomplishment of actually installing your lights (yes that much effort). The Matter integration is meh. On off glow or no. Would not state its matter ready when you can only do 1% of what the app can do. Thanks for listening and hope it all gets worked out!

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
