So excited to get to use these throughout the year! We love being able to program every light individually or use the pre-set options. The clear instructions and numerous supplies made install as easy as possible, with plenty of options to custom-fit appropriately. The only tiny complaint I have is that I can't figure out how to get more connector wires since we need more than is provided in the pack, so we can't fully complete install yet.
I don't write reviews often, but with an expensive product as this, and based on my experience I felt obliged to leave some thoughts. The lights themselves look awesome, even in a heavily populated suburban area with tons of ambient lighting. Love the color options, and the white tones are perfect.
The major downside, which others have experienced, is the poor adhesion of the tape. My surfaces were cleaned and prepped well, and just about every single light on my 100ft strand failed. To remedy, I used hot glue, zip ties and more. This was even more problematic on my second floor, where access was hard enough - getting there a second time and with glue and more tools was tough.
All of this ended up with costs above the expected.
Would I buy again? Probably. Because it's still cheaper than hiring an electrician to put in outdoor recessed lighting. However, I would go straight to glue, clips and zip ties prior to even attempting adhesive.
You shouldn't sell something that doesn't have enough hardware to complete the job. Also when asking a question about your order you shouldn't suggest to buy something that doesn't match the color of the product you purchased. I planned on buying an additional 150 ft to complete the back side of the garage and house but not if I have to purchase more equipment from another source just to complete the job.

Thank you for your feedback regarding this product. Would you please contact our support team at support@govee.com so we can send you some extra clips?
We are loving these lights! We purchased the pro version because I wanted black instead of white. They are easy to install. The splicing kit makes it stupid proof!! The extensions were great for my roof. We needed four of them and i think there are six in the box. We ran the extensions through the attic for the transitions in the roof so you don't see any cords! It's very clean looking!!
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.
