We love the lights. Very bright. The app is a little clunky, but manageable with some tinkering. My only serious complaint is the mounting hardware cames with screws that are so small they are unusable with any standard cordless screwdriver. These are designed to be up under the eve, meaning tight working conditions likely at the top of a ladder, in my case a tall ladder. The last thing I want is to be fiddling with tiny screws that don't work with power tools. I went out and bought a case of 3/8" sheet metal screws for a standard Phillips head and it made mounting much easier. The 3m sticker they give you to mount is worthless as a permanent mount no matter how well you clean the surface. It was only effective long enough to get the brackets over the lights.
Bought for my husband for Christmas, but I couldn't wait to give them to him! He absolutely loves his new Govee lights! He is constantly outside trying out new lighting patterns. They lights are bright and the colors are beautiful!
These were really easy to install (I used a boom lift) and the configuration was straightforward. Don't forget to select the appropriate number of segments in the app when setting these up. I've integrated mine into our Home Assistant so they automatically come on at sunset and the theme changes based on the time of year and holidays.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nightmare to Install - Mounting Tape is Too Weak
on December 30, 2025
Posted by: Kaden
The mounting tape on the lights is too weak, so the clips are a requirement. Since the tape is so weak, the lights don't stay connected to the surface they're applied to and then hang at an angle, which makes the lights project inconsistently. Really disappointed.
