Perfect lights, though I wasn't able to install them myself with the jumps and splicing I had to hire someone. The app is Pretty user friendly. I just wish when you choose a color on the app the little picture of the house on the Home Screen mimics what style you are choosing just so you don't have to go outside ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ first world problems. Overall this is great
I followed the instructions. Cleaned and dried all of the surfaces. Put up the lights. Next day the lights where just hanging. I eventually put up brackets around every light.
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!!
