I had high hopes. Installing is not incredibly difficult but set aside ample hours and lots of ladder work. Plan carefully as the electric power connection must be at the beginning of the lighting run and can not be spliced so make sure to have power available at the end of the run. My lights connected relatively easy to the app it takes 2 attempts the app itself is fairly easy to navigate all this leads me to the most important part and that is the lights function. Changing colors is straight forward and in my case incredibly disappointing. The colors are no where close to accurate The lights were installed for Halloween and wanted to use the orange and purple combination and the purple color was so washed out and pale that it nearly made me want to not use them this can be said for all the colors not vivid and very pale saturation.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought the 200’ Govee Pro outdoor lights and have been very impressed. I had to cut and splice a few sections and use the provided Govee extensions for different levels of the roof line. I also spliced one section and used a butt end heat shrink splice. All worked perfect. To keep the lights secure I purchased 3D printed brackets for each light on Etsy. I’m still learning the app and all the options.
We have the outdoor string lights hung. They were easy to attach and have stayed without any issues! We love them. We now have a couple outdoor spotlights. They are both great products!! Definitely looking into more products from Govee!!
We’re really loving the lights and certainly as of right now (2 weeks post-install) no regrets. So many lighting scenes and color options and customizations to choose from. I read a review before buying these lights that helped me plan my installation I want to share: be prepared to use a cord-management U-bracket of some kind for each light. The lights come with a 3M sticker on the bottom of the light that sticks to the soffit, but in my case (even after cleaning the soffit) they starting unsticking after the first day. So plan to add a small bracket (I used a bracket and drilled a 1” drywall screw to attach) for each light to anchor the lights.
