1-star reviewers are just salty

Anyone giving these 1 star are only mad because they couldn't get their hands on them, not because they don't actually like the product. I did manage to get my hands on these - kept an eye on the in-stock dates for months and got them on my second attempt to buy (the first time, Govee mistakenly launched them an hour earlier than what they said the in-stock time would be).
These were shipped extremely fast and delivered to me in well under a week. I will say, I'm rounding up with the 5-star rating because I have to; in truth, I deduct half a star for the very minimal hardware included to affix the lights in any real permanent way. Each 16.4ft strand comes with six 10mm LED light clips that you can screw in; one for every 4 lights. Aside from that, each light has a 3M adhesive backing that I guess they expect to do the job of holding the vast majority of lights up year-round - except, the reason I bought these is because adhesive hooks weren't doing the job for my traditional holiday lights and definitely would still not do the job with these. So, I went on Amazon and bought 100 more of the type of screw-in clips that came with these (search “Hysmigor transparent Strip Light Clips"and thank me later). We put one on each side of each light (in addition to using the 3M adhesive backing), which was time consuming, but now we know beyond the shadow of a doubt that these lights aren't going anywhere.
And all that was totally worth it! I just love them. So easy to set-up with the Govee app and manage alongside your other Govee lights (I'm not employed by Govee, I swear, but these outdoor lights are a new addition to my existing collection of TV strip lights, gym floor lights, and interior car lights from Govee. I wouldn't have so many if they weren't extremely easy to set up/use, and weren't truly adding value and joy to my life). The fact that I can not only leave these up year round and never have to hang Christmas lights again, but also change the color scheme for each holiday and gathering, makes these worth every penny and hour spent hanging them up. We are even using them as neutral flood lights outside in between holidays, as our yard is otherwise very dark.
Photo attached for reference on how we affixed them under our eave using the screw-in clips and 3M backing.

I have only verified that they worked since receiving these. Due to the cold weather in the Midwest when the lights arrived, I have elected not to install just yet. Super happy with the fast shipping and interface so far!

Day 2 so far so good. I followed the instructions and no issues. Care to clean and make sure you have a good sticking surface is key. Great accent to my house. I purchased a 150’ set which was a little more than I Needed but it works perfectly!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Lights are pretty but won't stay up.
on September 21, 2024

I worked hard to put up these permanent lights and unfortunately they way my soffits are I can only use the sticky part to install them. I cleaned with alcohol first and let dry then I installed on an 80 degree day and I pressed each light hard for about 30 seconds so they would stick. Now I have about 5 that have come loose in different areas and I dread getting the ladder back out to try and make them stick again.
The lights are beautiful and would be perfect if they had other options where you didn't have to rely on only the 3m tape to hold them up.

Illumination!

Installed these yesterday. They look amazing and pictures don’t do them justice. Still learning all of the features. I also installed the retro fit 6” lights outside for the full lighting effect. Excited to see how they hold up. Installed was easy. Take the time to do it right. I used a small block of 2x4 as a spacer from the siding.
