Govee Outdoor LED Strip Lights RGBIC with Warm and Cold White, 32.8ft 2.4G WiFi Smart Outdoor Lights, IP65 Waterproof, Work with Alexa and Google Assistant, App Control, for Porch, Patio, Eave, Party

Had an issue with a few light strands in an exterior application and Govee customer service (Claire) responded right away and sent replacements immediately. It’s hard to find companies who put service above profits (or actually understand that if you service the customer the profits are exponential), so I will, and have already started replacing other lighting applications around my property with Govee because they are by far the pedigree in that industry.

I’m actually surprised that this light strip is returned so often. It appears to function nicely and the app on my iphone was no problem at all. The strip has a nice array of colors and I’m just learning to get custom setups. Fun to play with! It has survived a couple of storms already and continues to function well. Seems like a good buy.

I replaced my THIRD failed Daybetter waterproof 32’ (TWO strands) light strip in 3 years with this Govee SINGLE 32’ strand of MUCH better lights. I’ll just list my favorite things as a lighting connoisseur - we have trippy lighting in every room in the house.Heat - With the cheap lights I had before, there were problems with the lights and power supply both running hot, and on the second strand it actually left burn marks on the wall. Pretty sure our house would have burned down shortly after if we hadn’t bought the third strand. Each set of Daybetter lights also had a smaller power supply than the last, clearly to save money, at the expense of running dangerously hot. We’ve had these Govee lights on just about 24/7 since installing and there’s no sign of dangerous heat in the least.Colors - the color options are awesome! True white, and vibrant colors. I love addressable lights because you can get cool patterns or mixed colors, but it would be nice if it was addressable down to the individual light. That would up the price for sure though, so I’m not taking off any stars for that. The app has a TON of pattern options, but I’m not a fan of any of the presets. A smoother transition of lights slowly changing in the “dream chasing” style is my favorite alternative to static colors, but no such luck (it may be doable but I haven’t seen it yet).Adhesion - better than competitors, and it’s nice to have the mounting brackets too. I did a combo of sticky backing and the brackets and I’m very happy with the result.The cable is super long, so I had to get creative hiding most of it, but they’re rated for outdoor so it fits those needs perfectly. I do like the on off switch on the cord too.Would buy again. Govee is my new favorite mid-upper tier lighting brand, only second to Hue and Superlighting LED. Their behind TV light strips are superb too. I’ll be buying another strand in a week or so to replace a Blacklight we were using. Hope this helped.

Lights worked great for 3 months. They do not work anymore for colors , only white and no fade or effects. Unable to do colors, themes. A lot of work went into the install and now do not work.

These are the best for outside but be careful, the outer case is fragile.

The media could not be loaded. 🤩Just did the whole front of our house with these and they’re great.✅ They install easily and put off a great array of colors.✅ Lots of options to choose from with the lighting scenes and you can create your own scenes.✅ Loving the ability to use these in the off season with a nice dimmable warm/cool glow. This was a big selling point for us.👍 The adhesive seems okay. I’ll circle back in a year to talk more about this.🙈 The app is not without it’s limitations.One thing I’d like to see is the ability to reverse the directional orientation of sequences. When you’re installing outside lights, you’re at the mercy of power sources and sometimes must run the lights in an opposite direction. I’ve not found a way to change their orientation yet, but will update my review if it do.I’d like to see more group control features with time. As of now, the group control is extremely limited. First, you must be in Bluetooth range. Not always a convenient option. Second, when dealing with different lengths and installation orientations, it’s not very simple to get different segments to play well together. Actually impossible when using scenes. You can do diy programming to achieve that, so in theory it’s possible.🙄 Cutting can be done to these (at the predetermined segment points where you see the solder), but be warned, splicing isn’t quite as simple when working with outdoor lighting. I tried to cut and connect two separate sections via a 18/5 wire, and it ended up being a huge waste of time. I ended up just buying another segment and powering it from a different source. Even as a professional, it was difficult to use a 5 pin connector on them. Even when soldered, it was buggy.I do highly recommend these and hope with time the app gets more awesome. Aside from the few minor gripes, I love these.

I bought these Govee lights to add some extra brightness under my porch, and they’ve completely transformed the space. Not only do they provide great lighting, but they also turned my porch into a festival of awesome!Installation was a breeze—like, no stress at all—and syncing them with my other Govee lights? Effortless. Halloween came first, and our porch turned into a spooky, glowing masterpiece. Then Christmas rolled around, and BOOM: instant winter wonderland! The colors, the sync-up, the vibe—it’s like our porch got its own personality.If you’re looking for lights that can multitask between practical and fun, these are it. Highly recommend for anyone who loves easy setup, dazzling displays, and turning your porch into the envy of the neighborhood.

Govve rarely misses. These are awesome, I installed them on the facia board pointing back at the house. Very easy to install with the provided clips. A little expensive but worth it with the control you get. I’ll be ordering more to finish the house. 10/10, would recommend.
