Own 4 of them

I am in the process of replacing my exterior wall lights with these. My old ones were ugly and needed to go. I saw these, and owning a ton of govee products already, I bought them. They are a little higher skill to install than normal lights. You need caulk. (I used a silicone and it worked well) I would also recommend a second person because holding the light and wiring it by yourself is difficult. (Normally I can write lights 1 handed but it was not the case with these)
My only improve would be to allow it to swivel or turn. My conduit was crooked so the lights are crooked. I wasn't able to straighten out the plate because of the original install. (Previous homeowner didn't install the lights correctly at all, and one was certainly not NEC approved.)
It was a little small for the main lights on the front of my house. Maybe sell a large version that is double the size.

Shouold have included motion detection.

Nice lights but only 3 segments however. These really should have included motion detection built-in. The battery motion detection solution is poor and seriously who wants to replace batteries when you have power already going to the lights. Hooking these up with motion detection built in could have driven your entire outdoor lighting, powered and water proof.

VERY EASY TO INSTALL!!!

I was able to switch out. Oh my back porch lights and replace them with the Govee Outdoor lights in 30 minutes. They are BRIGHT! Or and be as low as you want. And just like all Govee lights they change colors and do all the fun cool stuff you can imagine! They are programable and very well made. I was surprised to see how much weight they had to them selves. The whole outside of the light is made from steel and powder coated so they will never rust. You can't go wrong buying these. I would buy more if I'll ever need more.

left lacking in design and Matter control
on September 25, 2024

lacks lighting controls from Smartthings app. you only get on/off, one solid color to select and dim. also the light is so big and awkward in size for an outdoor sconce replacement, that there doesnt exist a wall plate that this can mount on that looks correct. due to the attachment bracket that comes in the box, you can only mount the light from the top of its backplate.... the included bracket only connects at the top, making for a properly centered fixture on any "mounting block" impossible. This could have been noticed in design, and a center attachment point for this Wall Light would have been possible. If you have slatted vinyl siding, you will need a wall plate, or probably have one already, this will hang off the bottom of the square shaped mounting block. its almost as if the design team didnt even research American vinyl siding standards. in my case, i have old 8 inch aluminum siding slats, and such a wall plate does not exist for this 5 inch by 10 inch Govee Wall Light. the only scenario it looks good is will 12 inch slats or flat walls. Being forced to use the Govee app, instead of my Zwave controllers like my light switches and sensors to achieve full functionality is a shame.

Deceptive Advertising - Electrician Required for Installation
on February 23, 2025
Posted by: Frenchdip
I ordered this and I'm sure it's a good product, but the instructions in the box say it should be installed by a licensed electrician. It is very deceptive for Govee not to state this prominently in the on-line product description.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
