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.
I've had so many different lights. These are superb. The ease of installation and the app make it worth every penny! The sad this is they're always out of stock LOL
You can absolutely believe all the reviews about the horrible 3M sticker pads that fall off before you blink. I just got through 2 miserable days of hanging 311 ft of lights in 2 days in Central Texas where the temperature was almost ideal for them to stick. I followed the directions to a T and destroyed my arms cleaning each landing zone where a light would stick. After the first day I noticed a few lights to go back and re-stick them. By the end of the 2nd day I would say close to 50% of the lights fell off. Incredibly frustrating considering how many hours I had just spent hanging the lights. I was hoping they would have stuck longer so I could get around to securing them underneath my soffit, but no such luck (and the plastic tabs they give you to reinforce them are a PITA to use so I opted to use my staple gun. Unfortunately they just kept falling off and what should have been completer in 1 weekend will now take 2 to go back around and stick them back up and staple them permanently. Govee really needs to read the reviews and change course with the garbage 3M stickers. False advertising with the word "Permanent" being a part of the lights. Be aware that the middle yellow cable is super thin and rips very easily while splicing. Other than that the lights are awesome. I'm looking forward to when the lights actually become permanent and I can use them longer than the 3 hours I had them on before more lights fell off...
