Let me start by saying I have 18 Govee products and recommend them to everyone. However I've come across the first item that has Just failed after 5 weeks. Govee warrantied them no problem but here is my attempt to "waterproof" their outside spot lights even further. I've read multiple reviews of people having them fail for the same reasons. Hopefully Govee addresses the issue and comes out with a new version.
I really wanted these to be great, and they were for about a month or two. Unfortunately, they stopped working after the first rain they were exposed to. Despite the casing being fully screwed on, all 4 lights had water/condensation get in and short each light 1 by 1. The floodlights don't seem to have this same defect, but I liked the way these cast the light more than the floodlights.

For spotlights these shine way further than I expected. Great brightness. Wish the dynamic scenes were slower. The slowest diy speed setting also is a bit too fast. Other than that 10/10 recommend.
It's easy to setup and link with the Govee App. I was able to unbox and setup this package of four spotlights in about 30-minutes. Immediately after plugging them in I was able to see them in the app and add them to the system. Going through the process of adding them to the Wi-Fi was a breeze and I was able to quickly change the scene to match the other Govee spotlights that I'm using on another part of the house. The variety of scenes and illumination options is great and makes the whole integration of permanent lighting and spotlights super fun.
I wanted to step on my Holiday display and these lights met the challenge. Amazing features, music sync, and the array of different lighting options allow me to make our holiday displays epic! Thank you Govee!
First of all, I love the up-lights !️. I hope they last and the issue with lights getting water in them was resolved, only time will tell. I put out 14 up lights total. Three (3) sets of 4 up lights & One (1) set of 2. The overall set up was fairly easy. All 4 sets should be like sets, but the set with 2 lights doesn't have all same scene selections. That is disappointing because it is the whole set of seasonal changes tab missing from the 2 light set !. Not sure if the Seasonal selection can be added to the 2 light set?? Any feedback to get that added to the 2 light set would be awesome. The app is easy to group the sets and set up automation. To protect the plug and controller I used a Outdoor Electrical Box Waterproof IP54-rated Outdoor Outlet Box Black Outdoor Extension Cord Cover Box (7.6 x 3.9 x3.3 inch) Wall-Hangable Waterproof Box for Protect Outlet and controller.
