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.
Visited a friends home during the holidays and was very impressed with his new govee lights. The ability to control color and scenes from Alexa or your phone is fantastic. I appreciate that the light string itself is not visible from the street. I love the only put them up once but not look like the neighbor that never takes their Christmas lights down. The newest Pro series allows you to control each individual light and you can make them white for year round lighting for your home. Can't comment on longevity because i have just received my Govee lights but the quality feels good.
These lights (if installed by the directions )work great ..The app is a little difficult to use but I am older and not very computer savey..I love the effects and colors and wish that they could be a little bit brighter..Overall I am very happy with these lights and the app ..Great job Govee.. Tip: I sprayed contact adhesive to the soffit and the string lights and had no problem with them sticking..
I bought the Govee pro. I am trying to figure out how to install them but they give you absolutely no info to help. The parts list on the box list a total of five items but when you open the box there are a bunch of parts but nowhere does Govee tell you what they are or what they are for. They put together this whole kit and give you no info on how to install it.
I bought these in hopes of no longer needing to install Christmas lights every year I got the pro version and knowing it says it can go up to 150 feet without a module but unfortunately when trying to add just one additional strand making it 7 it will not work and my total feet was not even 120 feet support could not figure out why I'm still waiting on a refund

Dear customer, if you buy more than one set of pro version of permanent lights, and connect more than 6 segment, you need to go to light- setting- number of segments, chagne it, e.g, connect 7 segments, choose 7. Meanwhile, the normal version of the permanent light strip is not compatible with the pro version of the light strip, so it won't work. Our pro version of the extension light string will be available around December 15. Thank you for your feedback, if your problem has not been properly resolved, you are welcome to contact us at support@govee.com and we will try our best to solve the problem for you.
I give this 3 stars because they don't include enough clips and the hardware is super cheap. I already have to reattach multiple lights. I cleaned my soffits before installing, but Texas has a humid climate. I would buy more clips and better stainless hardware before you install on a 2 story home.
