Not for outdoor use after all
on September 9, 2026
Posted by: Eric
Warning! Govee does not back their products if something goes wrong. Check the plugs for your outdoor lights. They are not rated for outdoor use and this is the problem I had. They don’t sell the plugs separately so they force you to buy a whole new light set. Beware! I would go with another brand of lights and our families are.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not ready for prime time

I have 2 sets of these. I have to manually turn them on every single day in order to reconnect them to the app. Solar charging during the summer is spotty at best because high ambient temperatures cause the system to shut down. I do not recommend this product, especially at this price.

Bulbs too far apart

I wanted to use these as patio lights for my small patio, but the bulbs are spread so far apart it looks bad. Otherwise easy to use and set up

Cheap overpriced products

I have several Govee LED products. They only last 3, maybe 4 years. Support stands on the 1-year warranty and only offers a percentage off a new purchase. Just recently had string lights go out. Their products are too expensive not to have better support.
BUY SOMETHING ELSE! Support will not stand behind their product.

I put the solar panels in all sorts of different positions getting full sign, partial sign to prevent them from overheating and not charging.
No matter what orientation or how I positioned the solar panels they only charge to 20 to 40% and last less than an hour or two

It could be a defect I don’t know, but I am very unhappy with the products.
