Right up front, we are so happy with these. They look incredible and install was easy. We just Installed a100ft run, and I wish we had another 50! It would've been great to have a 150ft and a 50ft option when buying. 100ft covers the front of the house, but our garage is left in the dark. We would need exactly 50 more feet to finish the garage side. Alas, there are no 50ft options when purchasing. I would hate to buy another 100ft and wast half of it. Other than that, these things are sick! So happy, and the install was a synch!
I don't write reviews often, but with an expensive product as this, and based on my experience I felt obliged to leave some thoughts. The lights themselves look awesome, even in a heavily populated suburban area with tons of ambient lighting. Love the color options, and the white tones are perfect.
The major downside, which others have experienced, is the poor adhesion of the tape. My surfaces were cleaned and prepped well, and just about every single light on my 100ft strand failed. To remedy, I used hot glue, zip ties and more. This was even more problematic on my second floor, where access was hard enough - getting there a second time and with glue and more tools was tough.
All of this ended up with costs above the expected.
Would I buy again? Probably. Because it's still cheaper than hiring an electrician to put in outdoor recessed lighting. However, I would go straight to glue, clips and zip ties prior to even attempting adhesive.
You shouldn't sell something that doesn't have enough hardware to complete the job. Also when asking a question about your order you shouldn't suggest to buy something that doesn't match the color of the product you purchased. I planned on buying an additional 150 ft to complete the back side of the garage and house but not if I have to purchase more equipment from another source just to complete the job.

Thank you for your feedback regarding this product. Would you please contact our support team at support@govee.com so we can send you some extra clips?
We are loving these lights! We purchased the pro version because I wanted black instead of white. They are easy to install. The splicing kit makes it stupid proof!! The extensions were great for my roof. We needed four of them and i think there are six in the box. We ran the extensions through the attic for the transitions in the roof so you don't see any cords! It's very clean looking!!
