Amazing lights but..........

I absolutely love my new permanent lights and have gotten numerous compliments from neighbors and even had several say they were going to put some up next year after seeing mine. While the installation was pretty simple and the kit came with some good hardware and accessories, it just baffles me that they do not include enough clips for every light, the adhesive is great, but it's far from "permanent", particularly in harsher environments. The other thing that confounds not only me, but many other customers is the decision to NOT sell the extension cable separately. I was fortunate that I only had 1 break in my run and the included extension covered it, but that isn't the case for everyone. Selling extra extension cables separately seems like a simple add-on and a no brainer. That being said, I would still recommend the lights and am very happy with my purchase.
The lights themselves are great! Bright, colorful. Easy to control. One recommendation would be an automatic season changer. Use the date to determine what color scheme the lights will be. Would love to set them and forget them.
Losing one star for me because I have had to replace the sticky film 2 times almost on each light. It just won't stick to the painted wood awnings that I have. I have used alcohol wipes before and made sure it was dry. Probably going to be using hot glue or some super 3M tape because this won't stick.
These are a third of the price of other lights I have looked at. They are extremely easy to install. They have better/easier functionality than most permanent lights. App could be revamped but easy enough to use.
We are very impressed with the service and speed that we received in getting replacement lights. We have the lights installed and everything is working great. We will refer all our friends to Govee. Again Thanks very much. Definitely appreciate everything you've done for us.
These lights are difficult to install on open eaves. They require a lattice to be installed and then the light to be installed onto them. Quite a pain!
For the price, I have to be standing almost on top of the receiver in order to connect via phone app to change the colors/settings. For that much $ for lights, the wifi signal is pretty bad
