Lights are great, keeping them up is a problem

The lights are beautiful. However we spent a small fortune and are VERY disappointed that within 48 hours they had all fallen off. They included clips, however you would need at a minimum one per light and they provided not even half that many. I expected a lot better quality for the price.
Easy to put up. Sticky tape works well. App is confusing, but fun to use the preprogrammed scenes. Lights are bright and durable. Been recommending to everyone we see. Cool to be the first one in the neighborhood to have them, I'm sure it won't be long before everyone has them! Thanks govee!!
Easy to use, easy to customize with splicing instructions, very bright. Love that they came in the black option. Was holding out due to having black trim and soffit until these were released.
The lights work as described, are not hard to install and look amazing once up. Make sure to plan ahead for your cuts for a more professional look. The lights will need to be permanently attached with clips as the adhesive on the back of the lights fail quite quickly. Which leads to the review title. For the lights to be secured correctly you need to place a clip on each side of the light. Govee only provides enough clips for one side so make sure to purchase more. The app is easy to use but must be with a 2.4ghz connection and be very close to the wireless router to connect.
I purchased 2 light kits, 100ft and 200ft and they go all around the entire house. They work and look awesome. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality outdoor lights.
After many watched views on how to install, I still wish I could find a company or individual that would install them. I hate to have spent the money on these to install them wrong. So with that, I have been holding off on getting them put up on the house.
Great product - expensive - but great product with a few gotcha's

I love this product, and what it has done for my Christmas lights. The Pro version is a better version but you are going to pay for it. It is more DIY which I like, with the exception of the wires. They are SMALL and FRAGILE. I'm not sure why they went with filliment and not solid. Solid would have been way more DIY and durable. I do basic electrical, but messing with these wires and cutting and splicing them is tedious and nerve wracking. They recommend a tool which I love, but it does not work well with these wires. So heads up plan ahead. Also Plan your layout. I used just the 3M adhesive for now. We are going to be getting new gutters next year so I didn't want to go overboard. Hopefully the will hold until then and then I can screw in the mounts. Also, Test the distance from the wall. It says 3 - 8cm which is about 1 to 3 inches I split the difference. I ordered the 200' box because I was unsure how far to go around. I WAY over ordered, but it's nice having backups and I can go around to the back of my house. Yes I would buy these again
