The lights are fairly easy to apply, although we played around with them to get just the look we wanted. They've held sturdy through several storms, and simultaneously, cheerfully lit up the house.
The app is very easy to use, offers preset color patterns as well as the ability to make your own patterns. We are having a good time playing around with them. And from the number of people stopping to watch our lights, other people are enjoying them as well.
I absolutely love my outdoor Govee lights. I no longer have to climb a ladder to put up lights on my roofline. Being able to change the colors, patterns, and on and off times with the app on my cell phone is so easy!!!
I bought these as a replacement to the white set, cable was visible and effected aesthetics. The black one are not visible at all unless you are right under them and look up. Bright enough to see from far and automation part works just great.
