I love these and it makes it so easy to switch the house from Halloween to Christmas to St. Patrick’s Day to whatever. I did have to bury one line underground because the length between the lights wasn’t enough to go over my sidewalk to create a path
They advertised the light string as 36ft long I believe. It’s basically 18’ from the first light to the last light with 18’ of cord from the first light to the plug end. No where in the description or product details is there any explanation so i bought thinking I’d get 36’ of light coverage.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have a set of the original ground lights which are great. I purchased the ground lights 2 and am already in my 2nd set.
The first thing I noticed is there are LESS lights than the original and they are set further apart.
Certain colors are also not as accurate as the original colors, especially if the lights are set to a lower brightness.
Another major issue is the lights are NOT water tight. My first lights couldn't handle Florida rain. A handful of the had water intrusion and eventually screwed up the lights. I exchanged them for another set and again, the lights have water and condensation in them. It's just a matter of time before they die too.
If you create a DIY and have the colors switch too quickly, they will not show the accurate color.
We bought these to use as sidewalk lights for Halloween and Christmas. I like the options for the colors and effects and the customization from the app. What I don’t like is I have one strand that constantly is losing connection. When this happens I have to go back into the app and reconnect the device and resync the two strands back to my chosen effect. The effected strand is actually closer to my house and should be getting better WiFi connection. Probably won’t buy any more products due to the connection issues
This is the first version of the ground lights. They are good lights. They are bright and has lots of scenes to chose from that Govee has built into their app. To be safe I would put the control button inside a water proof box.
This product would be better if the lights synced together wirelessly and you didn’t have to run wires down the side of your driveways or walkways. I feel like if it was wireless it would be more convenient and look better
