The lights are awesome and work perfectly. Love all the features and being able to control each light individually. Definitely recommend.

Would like to see some improvements in the app and being able to buy accessories but Love these!

So far everything works great! They have some really great features.
There are some things I wish Govee would do is:
1. Sell the power supply.
I used 4 of the 6… 16' lines and would have love to use those somewhere else but I can't without buying a whole new set.
2. Sell the spacer extensions for in-between spaces we don't want lights. For houses with multiple sections of the roof.
3. Grouping. In the app, you can pick any light you want to use. I have a couple things I would like to do. This is easy to do in an update to the app if they want to do it.
Example:. I picked one light over each end section of the house to come on the with the timer in Blue over night. If I could group them in my favorite, I could change the colors without selecting just one light at a time.

Another Example: I would like to pick every other light in a group. Color those whatever I want, then have the other group saved and color them.
I develop apps and the programming should be very easy to do in this app.
Don't get me wrong… These are fantastic lights and we love them. I'm just pointing out things I could have used. Hopefully Govee will see this and implement these things.
Buy these for sure :-)

These lights exceeded my expectations. They had quality all the way through. I had no trouble with the install or the app to get them going.

I haven't had a chance to put the lights outside yet, but I have been trying them out in the house just to see how they work. These lights are great! So much fun.

Exceptionally nice, bright lights with lots of customizations but app needs work
on September 3, 2024

I managed to get two 100ft strands and just finished getting them up and running yesterday. The app installation process and setup was super easy. I installed each strand one at a time and the app automatically set them up in a group. Alexa integration was very easy. The lights simply put look incredible, and are very bright. I have them set at 40% at night which lights up the entire side of my house.
The Govee app needs some work. I tried setting up a schedule in the app which wouldn't work. Also, when I select the lighting group (which combines both strands) and pick a preinstalled pattern like Valentines Day, the light colors change to Valentines Day colors but just stay at static colors. I have to select each strand individually and apply the lighting effects to each strand in order for the lights to change colors and brightness according to the selected pattern/effect. I can do this in Alexa Routines however, so it works but this is a quirk. Routines however in Alexa work very well, and once I did the Alexa pairing, the controls work better than using the app alone. I have found that even though Alexa allows you to set up a routine that is supposed to set the lighting plan as well as the brightness at the same time that the brightness doesn't change. I had to set two Alexa Routines - one to change the pattern to solid soft white at 10pm for night lights, and a second Routine at 10:01pm to change the brightness to 10% (so I don't bother my neighbors at night).
I want to set up my lights after 10pm using segmenting so that only certain lights would be on, but I haven't figured out a way yet to do that and have it work with Alexa.
It would be helpful if there was documentation on how to set up plans and Alexa integrations. You have to just play around to see what works. Also, I would say Govee should have molded tabs with screw holes into the light bases to make it easier to screw them up if desired instead of just relying on the tape. The tape is excellent 3m tape, but it isn't going to work in all situations, and when my feet are 12ft up on a ladder in the tallest eve on my house putting these up, I don't want to be back up there again in case tape fails. I screwed each light up of the two 100ft strands individually using led clips, but molded tabs with screw holes in the bases would have greatly simplified this job. Also, I had to contact support to verify that the two strands needed to be installed in the same direction, i.e. control/lights, control/lights, or lights/control, lights/control in order for patterns to work correctly. Their documentation does not specify this anywhere I can find. Their support replied very quickly.
All being said, I am extremely pleased with these, and they are well worth the money. I can't stress enough how fantastic the patterns look, and they function excellently for security lighting also. They do come with a 3 yr warranty per the included documentation (also asked Govee support for clarification on this), not 1 yr like the Govee website says. I installed mine so that at a later date when they start selling extensions, I can easily expand my two 100ft strands so I can light the back of my house also since each controller can handle 150ft. Two 100ft strands was enough to light the front and both sides of my house skipping one 12ft section that doesn't need light. I am so glad I spent the money on these to get the RGBIC and Alexa integration vs just a basic set of LED strips.

These lights are amazing and very easy to install. The we're out of stock for months by they were worth the wait and come with a three year warranty. I have showed them to my friends and they all want to get them. Great product
