Customer Reviews for Govee - 200ft Black Permanent Outdoor String Lights Pro

Had been wanting permanent lights, but your product needs to improve greatly for twice the money you are asking. Asahom is such a better deal. 12 more lights per 100 foot of wire, much greater lumens, and higher outdoor safety from weather rating for the outdoor block. The fittings are completely interchangeable with Govee, which makes me wonder if they are made in the same factory.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Lights are great. Installation tools could be improved

I just finished installing 300 ft of white pro permanent lights. Connecting lights and setup, splicing was all very easy. My only complaint is with the adhesive for lights don't work long term and not enough clips for each light.
I had lights falling off in less than 24 hours (appropriate prep was completed). Because I had done my research I had expected this and used the included clips at each light…there wasn't enough clips for each light as that is probably not the intention of those clips. As a DIY homeowner I don't want to have to worry about the adhesive coming off and having to get back up on ladder months or years later to fix a hundred lights when I can use screws to secure them once and be done. There should be more secure way to keep these lights maintenance free because most people won't trusts the adhesive to work long term for every light.

I'm really liking the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights Pro. The lighting effects are very customizable and the lights are super bright. They were mostly easy to install, but I do think a few changes could be made to improve the experience:
1. Trying to strip the flat wire and extract the 3 wires inside to also be stripped is kind of difficult. It's really easy to end up damaging the internal wires in the process.
2. The lengths of the extensions could be better. Maybe providing some wire and the connectors and allowing users to create custom lengths would be a better option instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.

Great outdoor lights

I was first looking at these last year when the original non-pro version was available. However, they were impossible to get and I didn't really like the white color. I'm glad I waited because not only does the pro version come in black, but they have dedicated white LEDs and each kit comes with 3 extensions (one 12 ft., two 4 ft.) and some very nice weatherproof splices if you need to cut/extend the lights.
We don't have a solid surface under the eaves , so I had to create something. I got some 2" furring strips and painted them and screwed them in under the eaves. That gave a nice straight surface for mounting the lights. We have sort of a complex roof line in the front, so the installation took about 5 days or so for everything (About ~200 ft. worth of lights) including painting/mounting the furring strips.
One important thing I will say about install is make sure you mount these about 2-3 inches from the wall! A lot of the people on Youtube that have videos installing/reviewing these lights install them way too far from the wall, closer to the gutter. This causes you to lose that curved glow that shines down the wall.
The 3M adhesive on each light is ok, but it needs reinforcement IMO. The lights come with some nice screw in clips, but they only come with about 30 of them per lighting kit. This is enough for 1 clip approximately every other light. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice if Govee included enough clips to have one on each side of each light to really secure them. I ended up using zip ties on the side of each light which actually worked even better in my scenario. I also mounted the power supplies/controllers in the garage and ran the cables up and out one of the soffits in the back.
Overall, I'm fairly impressed with everything and the Govee app has a lot of options if you really want to get creative and put time into it.
