I hoped the pro model would have brackets to affix the lights and the 3M tape. While the tape is excellent, I live in Colorado Springs, where the sun shines intensely 350 days a year, and the temperature swings from day to night can be 40° or more.
My neighbor's Elite model came with nice brackets, while mine only came with wire clips. So, while I used those everywhere I could (note that there are not enough for every light on the string), I would prefer the nice brackets with the top-end model.
Otherwise, these are awesome. The Govee app needs a better "Apple" version. It is a little convoluted, and the lexicon used is a little odd. More Apple-like polish and less of a tacky Android app would be nice.
I like all the Govee products I have, including the heaters that were recently recalled. Unfortunately, they were reliable via HOOBS into HomeKit. Now I have to hack some Dreos into my ecosystem.
With the ability to cut and splice and splice kits included in the box, installation was super simple and the lights look amazing! Love showing off all the scenes and patterns they can do. Super happy with my first Govee product, would love to grow my Govee collection!
Great the first week I had them. Now neither power box works and I'm week two of waiting for a one to be sent with no answer to a tracking number. Control box and power box installed indoors. The app is nicer than most is why i picked these but guess quality isn't there.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
