Govee RGBIC LED Strip Light H6147

UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM I have been using a lot of different accent lighting kits over the last couple of years, and variety of roles. Typically, I buy 5050 RGB lights, either by themselves or in a kit, and then use Wi-Fi controller to drive their behavior. This kid is different in that it is addressable by segments, meaning that along once trip, each set of three LEDs can be set to a desired color. This allows the number of lighting effects, animated effects, and gradients in a single strip. It also features a pretty sophisticated app that allows you to do a lot of customization, and picking of colors. I also have to say that although most of my RGB strips claim to be 16 million colors, in reality they don't seem to be very good at reproducing hues beyond primary or secondary colors. This lighting strip seems to be much more precise at its ability to produce true colors that largely match what you choose in the color wheel. So far, I've seen two drawbacks that have to do with luminance. One of them is that luminance seems to be disregarded in the color wheel. That is, choosing a darker version of a color in the color wheel won't actually darken the color as presented. This means that you couldn't have two segments that are the same color, for example, but at different brightness. This seems odd to me, but it is what it is. The other thing is that there is a brightness slider which will brighten or dim the entire strip, but at 1%, the strip is still quite bright. This strip also supports some conventional features, like effects based on sound input through a microphone, though I could not get them to calibrate to zero in my brief attempts, and then some very cool animated color schemes that sort of vibe with or suggest various moods. UPDATE: so having used these lights for a little while I can say that a lot of what I said initially holds true. The quality seems to be pretty strong as well as the color reproduction. However, given that the lights are Bluetooth controlled, and the only control they have on them physically is three buttons, one which turns it on, one which cycle s through colors, and one which flips through the activation modes like Sound Sensitivity and then what style, it's kind of amazing that you can't control these lights using something like Alexa or Google home. Also, as I stated before, the 1% brightness setting is very readily bright enough to read by, and the 100% setting is almost too bright to look at. This may mean it's actually better suited for your use, but it's worse for mine. I did just test now that the lights retain their setting if they lose power, so if they're on, and I remove the power, but when I restore the power the lights come back on set to the same color they were on, however for some reason it does this momentary sequence of showing red green and then the correct color. This isn't horrible, but it makes it possible to use the system with a smart outlet to turn it on and off using Google home or Alexa. I would say their ideal application is for recessed or concealed lighting and a common area where you're not typically turning them on or off a lot, or were you may occasionally want some party lighting or mood lighting.

I love these lights! This is my second time ordering because I moved. They last for years. The app is a bit complicated at first but when you get the hang of it you can do some amazing and cool stuff. They are very bright. They stuck to my walls great. Just be careful not to bend or push into the corners of walls to much you’ll break the connection but that’s with all led lights. My favorite part of these led are the quality and you can pick where you want each color and make your own patterns. Highly recommend will buy whenever I move again!

I bought 3 sets for my 3 kids (all boys) last Christmas (2019– it’s now June 24th, 2020). They are still going strong, they’re used almost daily, so I can tell they hold up. If I were to buy any more, I’d buy this brand specifically. My kids LOVE them! One of my son’s friends asked me what brand they were and from where I’d purchased them because he was wanted some, and this kid has everything already! My oldest often leaves the house with these still on (grrr), and I end up unplugging them if he leaves his door open (update- I started just unplugging his entire strip, and he magically doesn’t do that anymore—mom win!)—but, sometimes I don’t notice, he leaves them on for hours, and they’re fine! Needless to say, they’ve a long lifespan! They’re LED, so they don’t use much electricity, which is nice when your son leaves them on for loooonnnnnggg periods of time. They work, they’re vibrant, they’re very bright and colorful, and they do everything the description states! One put them around the perimeter of his room along where the walls & ceiling meet, one put them along the perimeter of the underside of the top bunk in his bed, and the other put them on the perimeter of the underside of his bed, so they reflect on the floor. They all look very cool. But do pay attention to the length, as none of my kids’ applications go around 100%. Although they all look quite good and lighten the entire rooms, that is something to be aware of. And if you or anyone in your household has epilepsy, use common sense and don’t buy them—I imagine that would be a big problem, although you can set them to a steady light. I can see being able to do many different things/projects with these because they’re crazy bright, have the controls on the cord, can be extended easily (without the need for additional controls), they last, the adherents haven’t failed any of them, and my kids all put them on by themselves, telling me they’re very easy to install. Like I mentioned, they adhere well, but I still recommend wiping the surface with isopropyl alcohol prior to sticking them wherever (although my kids didn’t, and they’re ok... but I still would, just to be safe and thorough). If alcohol may harm the surface, a good soap and water mix would work, as long as any residue is rinsed off completely and the surface is absolutely dry. I 100% recommend these to anyone looking for LED adhesive strips. They’re fun, the price is reasonable considering the high quality, and they do exactly what they’re meant to. I hope this helps you with your purchasing decision!!!

These are amazing. Despite what is stated, if your willing to take the risk, I was able to cut and move sections for under cabinet lighting. This was the 16.4ft model that i cut into 6 different lengths. I had to solder all connections. Tried to use adapters and it didn't work. Turned out great! Connects easily to my phone and the adhesive stuck with no issues!

Excelentes, llevo rato probando tiras LED y esta a sido mi favorita, tiene muchas opciones de personalización, es muy fiel a los colores y su iluminación ni se diga, 10 de 10. Si son mas caras pero definitivamente creo que valen la pena. Mi única queja es el app, es bien odioso que el bluetooth se este contacte y desconecte. Pero de ahí en mas las recomiendo.

Amazing product, if you looking for led RGBIC light for bedroom or living room this is perfect and even perfect for party situations. It has so many more and you can customize every single inch

mobile app is easy to use with presets and you can make your own.

very bad backaing the box open before come to me and there is missing parts

The app is good, Light quality is good... but expensive.
