They work wonderfully. I thought they would be less bright. They look nice with the clear glass and they look great. I only have two negative points about them. The white light needs a bit more power to have more lumens and be more bright. And the other is that unfortunately, they can't be extended with another string using the same driver. But other than that, I'm still quite happy with these lights.
These Govee outdoor string lights are awesome. Setup was super easy—just hang them up, plug them in, and connect to the app. The colors and effects are next level. I can switch from a soft warm glow for a chill evening to bright fun colors when we have friends over, and the music-sync mode is a blast. We’ve had a few heavy rains and some hot sunny days and they still look brand-new—no flicker, no fading. Everyone who comes by asks where I got them. If you want outdoor lights that are durable, smart, and just plain fun, these are it.
These are great! I was worried that they wouldn’t put out enough light. We have an outdoor patio with an 18x18 vaulted pavilion and a fan in the center. I wanted to run the strings from front to back but my wife felt the strings would take away from the fan. So we tried doing the perimeter. I was worried by doing it this way there wouldn’t be enough light under the pavilion. Man was I wrong! They really light up the space so nicely. One of the scenes in the app is bright white and man that puts out some light. We had 6 lights left over after going all the way around so we decided to run them at the top where it arches on the side closer to our house.
