Color lights are great / white lights no good and hangers are terrible.

Love the lights but thinking they will hang on a house with just the sticky pad on the back is horrible. I bought platistic hangers that fit around every cube light and screwed them into the soffit. This worked great. At the price Govee charges, these types of hangers should be included.
Trying to get the stings to a "white" light does not work very well. No wonder they came out with the all too expensive "pro" version.
I need more than 150' so I wanted to buy a couple of sets but I swear I'm reading in the description that they're saying the lighted length shouldn't be more than 150' ??? Most houses would have more than that if they do the whole front and 2 sides .. any help would be appreciated from anyone and GOVEE
I have the best looking house in the block if the are truly permanent lights and can last summer Winter etc then these will be the best investment I have made
I love the outdoor lights, but I had a problem with the extra strand I ordered to go on 50 ft strip. It caused the whole strand to blink. I tried to reset everything, even took it off the wifi, but I could not get it to work properly. I final just took it off and threw it in a drawer. I could not return it because had already discarded the package. but I'm glad that I will not need to put up Christmas lights anymore. The fireworks setting was great for the 4th of July. So, I'm still pretty happy with the product.
Using them for mainly security lighting over windows and doors. They are working great. Govee needs to make some 8 foot sections available and some 8 foot jump and 12 foot jump cables available for customers
A) Installed these about 20 inches from face of wall, on some wedge shaped trim so they aim back towards the wall. Light is less intense, but still puts color all over the wall (and fascia does a good job hiding the pucks from the street). B) Govee needs to offer spare extensions. Used the 12 foot one that came with the kit, but would have loved to be able to buy these separately, maybe even on that is half as long. Would give people more options for layout. Offer spare wire clips, while you're at it. C) App still needs work. For one thing, setting an automation (FYI, on at sunset) needs more customization. Able to delay past a given time, but not BEFORE. ALL of my other RGBs allow customization before sunset. Another item would be to allow user to zoom in on individual pixels for a custom lighting effect. Some of us have large fingers, or are using a phone to customize, so selecting an individual pixel can become a struggle.
But... I'm happy with my install, I'm glad I purchased them. Only took a star off due to the items above, which I think are solvable by Govee.
