The stickem doesn't hold in heat. Used staples on each side and in between for permanent mounting. Changing the colors manually to create your own color set is time consuming and tedious: each light bar is so small, there are constant mis-presses touching other bars and the app has to 'update and accept' each color which takes 1-2 seconds. Nothing is instant by any means in the app.
I believe these are great lights... Might have to put up a few more clips but overall very happy with them. Seem to have a little issue ont he Wifi but Bluetooth works fine and should suffice....
I am really enjoying these lights. Installation was easy, lights look great on the eaves of house. The app could be more user friendly and I don't like how the lights have to be on to explore all the various lighting options within the app. But these are minor complaints and I've already ordered more Govee products because of my overall satisfaction with the product.
I've only installed 4/6 of the sets cause of a heavy downpour. Being 20 feet off the ground would have been a workout for a 65 year old with a ladder, so I rented a three level scaffolding unit. The hardest part was cleaning under the eaves. The installation was very fast and easy. Next set I'm having to clean and install off the ladder due to shrubbery but the final set I need to disassemble and reassemble scaffolding on the opposite side of my home. As I said before, I couldn't wait to do the full install. I had to try them out to see what it looked like. Absolutely awesome! I'm sure there's a way to control the app with two phones but I just haven't had the time to view the website instructions. Off to finish the install with the ladder!!!
Was able to splice in a 10ft extension in order to jump a gap between my side door and garage. Haven't mounted them up yet but confirmed that they work.
