Nice, but maybe should have bought the 2nd gen version.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was reading alot of reviews for ground lights 2 about them not being as waterproof as they should be so I bought these. They look nice, however this is the only Govee product I have bought that I wish was brighter. I used them to line a landscaping bed in front of my house. I found the lights kept popping off the stakes and the stakes weren’t long enough to use with landscaping gravel. I didn’t use the landscaping stakes at all and just used the landscaping gravel on the wires to hold the lights in place. I think eventually I will replace these with the ground lights 2 as they have longer stakes and our brighter.
A great, festive replacement for individual, solar-powered walkway lights

I got these festive lights to replace a set of individual, disposable, solar-powered lights that lined either side of my sidewalk (the gap between the lights was just enough to fit across the walk at the bottom of a step, which worked out great). So far, these Ground Lights are great. The app has so many settings to choose from, and it takes some exploring figure out how to create a custom setup, but I just picked a preset for the holiday season, and it matches pretty well with the same preset on a set of Govee strip lights that had in storage until this year. With automation set up through my Google Home app, the lights turn on and off when I want them on or off, and I don't have to think about it. After the holiday season, I'll set the Ground Lights to a solid color as more of a safety feature, but we can still have fun changing colors with the holidays year-round.
Light work great. One thing worth noting is that the electrical plug is in the middle of the over length of the string, so you can't plug it in on one side to run the overall length. You would need to plan for the plug to be in the middle of your run.
