I’ve had these up for a week now and they are amazing!! I love setting up different scenes and even using them as accent lighting and choosing which ones I want to stay on/off. The brightness and colors are just like advertised. I have a new construction home and our neighborhood is dark because there isn’t any street lights. These have lit up the street! Timers are helpful and installation was very easy! I should have purchased these sooner. Can’t wait for Christmas!
I absolutely ADORE my Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2! I'm getting up there in age and am getting to the point where I don't feel overly confident climbing 15 feet up on an extension ladder. So, in order to eliminate that yearly fatigue inducing task, I purchased these lights in the hopes that this would be the last time I'd be having to string lights up on my house.
I am THRILLED with the results! I must say, I do miss having my C9 Christmas light bulbs up and glowing... but I can live with not having to climb my ladder anymore. The Govee lights are a wonderful substitute. And, I can make them do all sorts of things that my old C9's couldn't do.
The installation took me a bit longer than hanging my old Christmas lights, but that was mainly due to running the electrical supply into the attic of the garage and then down to an outlet.
I would say that I wish I'd done this years sooner, but I actually think I did this at the exact time I needed to. It's a wonderful addition to my house that I can use all year 'round and not just at the holiday time of year.
If you're hesitant about it, I really don't think you'll be disappointed with the result if you install them correctly!
I'm happy with the 'permanent outdoor lights 2' after installing 3 strings, 350' on my home. With supplied brackets & screws it was simple and straightforward to install them under me eaves, albeit quite tedious. I contained the transformers and controllers all in a hidden weatherproof box under a deck. Programming went quickly as prompted by the Govee app. Wifi makes for easy control of the lights through the app. So overall, I'm pleased after installation.
I would recommend this to a friend!

wanted to love them, tape is cheap brackets useless

Wanted to love these, I had some in my old home for over 3 years and they were only on with tape, to take them out the first one almost took the wall with it, so the new owners got permenanent lights for free... these new ones, less than 2 days later, they are coming off, some the tape came out of the wall some the tape came out of the light... the brackets are useless!!! they do not really hold the light tight so the tape fails, the light falls and no longer aligned. I really wanted to love these, but they are a PIA. No wonder all the other closes have build in screw mounts, they knew... now I am stuck with 3 sets of 100 lights it will take me another few hundred $$ to get good 3rd party brackets... if only they did not go cheap, so many adhesive tapes that are great, they used the cheapest possible!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
