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.
Well packaged, nice options for control and customization in the app. The ability to link a total of (2) 96 foot sets together makes nearly 200 feet of uninterrupted lights!

Great lights

Put them in my new Gazebo, awesome colors, scenes, DIY.
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.
Already had a couple of sets of Govee string lights up around my deck, but when this new item popped up on sale, it caught my interest. Very glad I’ve made the switch. I normally don’t replace perfectly good light sets, but the beautiful, bright clear lenses on these fixtures really complement the other 3000k lighting I use around my property, as well as the Govee permanent lighting on my soffits. Highly recommend these for the great new look. All of the fun of Govee with a much more sophisticated look.
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.
