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.

Purchased to use during Christmas but the product failed to turn on. Paid an electrician to install and when the time came to turn on and connect via the Govee Home app, nothing. Hours of troubleshooting. Seems like the control box. Emailed, called, ticket opened. Rapid replacement and not one communication to ensure a replacement would be sent. If these lights were not already attached to my home I would probably just returned for a refund and took a loss on the labor.

The lights and there functionality is fantastic. What needs improvement is the amount of wire mounting pieces. Needed to use additional wire mounting pieces to secure wires and lights as I did not want to rely on the 3M tape only. It would also be nice if there was an option of a trim piece that could be placed over the wire. As hard as you try, the wire does not lay completely flat. A trim piece with screw holes for mounting would solve the mounting issue and appearance issue. Lastly, the Govee Home app for programing the lights is not user friendly. I now know the basics, but it would be nice to offer a tutorial for its use. Don't get me wrong, I love the lights, but they could be better.

We've looked at all the light companies to get something similar to what's going on in the neighborhood but once we found Govee we knew we found something special we did all the work ourselves and it looks amazing better then what we've seen around and most likely saved us thousands We did run short so we bought the 16 foot extension just waiting for it to arrive this Friday yayyyyy Can't wait to see what else they come out with

We put up 300' of Govee Pro outdoor lights. They are a show stopper when cars pass by our home. Lots of positive comments on the from the community. Only bad comments concerns the app. I couldn't figure it out, there is nothing, or not much, on you tube. Govee need to put out some informational YouTube's. Fortunately, I found a guy on the other side of town who had figured some of the basics out and helped me get going. Are you listening Govee?

As we get older, we don't want to have to climb up a ladder every year to install our lights, and so we were happy to find these permanent light solution at an affordable cost. The only downside is that I had to split one of my sets, and in order to do that I had to get a new controller box but they don't sell that separately. so when you order, make sure you order the right amount and don't plan on splitting the set up.

I really like how the lights looks like at night and the way they are fully customizable and the presets makes them one of a kind. The only reason I am not giving this product a 5 star review is for the fact that the lights keep falling down. The adhesive is not strong enough. I ended up having to use gorilla glue gel to keep them in place.

I absolutely love the pro outdoor lights. What I hate is that you can't get extra controllers. There is no reason for this. Separate zones or even a replacement for a lightning strike or power surge are valid reasons for them. All the forums complain about this.

Had em for a few weeks now and they look beautiful! Gotten a lot of compliments from the neighbors as well. They definitely look much more dramatic than regular holiday lights. The 3M sticky tape makes them easy to install. Did it myself on first floor roofing with just an 8ft ladder. Some math: They come in 16ft strands of 10 lights each. So 100ft would be 6 strands x 10 lights = 60 lights. Lights are about 20 inches apart center to center. I’ve had a lot of fun with the effects, particularly the syncing to music on my phone, which is easy to do with the app. Enjoy delighting/torturing your neighbors!

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.
