Very cool but “permanent"they are not.

These are very cool but will not stay mounted all winter. I had about 10 modules where the brand new 3m strip wouldn't even stick(yes, all surface area were well prepped). Thankfully some replacements were included. I've had them up for about 2 weeks and have already had to re-secure numerous different modules even though they are well protected from the elements(except the cold). If looking at purchasing you will want to buy enough clips to actually screw mount each module. I originally ordered the 100' kit and was going to expand an additional 50' but I now have longevity concerns so will wait to see how these perform throughout the winter first.
Had them installed by a third-party installer and half of them are falling off of my house. The seller brought their own clips, but even after coming out of second time I still have multiple places that I need to secure my house better.
My wife has had to restrain me a bit with these as they certainly can be a minor addiction. Setup did take a while, but it was worth it in the end to be able to keep them mostly hidden. I am very much looking forward to the upcoming holidays where I can unleash their awesomeness on my neighborhood. Thank you Govee.
Can't wait to hang them up. Too cold here in Buffalo right now. But the lights look very bright from testing them. Just wished they would update the app with more selections of colors to choose from for holidays. Sad there is not a Red/White/Blue display option for 4th of July
The lights were difficult to install primarily because of the 4 clips that need to be screwed into every strand of lights. The screws provided do not fit into a standard Philips head bit making it a difficult job when working off of an extension ladder. The other issue is the lights can only be controlled from the GOVEE App. The app is not user friendly, requires an internet connection and is a bit of a PIA to navigate through. There should be an option to use the controller to change light settings. The lights should be brighter or more lights per strand. Not worth the money in my opinion.
