Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights 2, 144ft Outdoor Lights with Dimmable Warm White LED Bulbs, 47 Scene Modes for Patio, Backyard, Balcony, IP65 Waterproof, Works with Alexa, App Control

I recently installed these Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights on my back patio using a separate string light hanging kit I also purchased. Once the hanging kit's support wire was in place, the Govee lights were a breeze to attach with zip ties, utilizing the handy loops built into the light string. This setup ensures no sagging, which looks great.The brightness of the warm white LEDs is just right, and the color-changing capability is fantastic, responding perfectly to both the Govee app (for initial setup) and Alexa voice commands. The dimming function works well, allowing for a nice ambiance when relaxing in the hot tub at night.While the lights offer 47 scene modes, I haven't explored those yet, as controlling the color and brightness via Alexa voice commands is simple and meets my needs. I haven't had any connectivity or reliability issues. Although the lights are somewhat protected under my eaves, they've been exposed to plenty of dew with no problems at all, indicating good weather resistance.The 144ft length was actually more than I needed; it comes in three sections, and I only used two. I wish Govee sold the controller separately so I could utilize the third unused section elsewhere. I purchased these during a holiday sale in 2024, and at that price, they felt like a great value. However, their regular price seems quite high.Compared to my previous basic Costco white string lights (which only had on/off functionality), these Govee lights are a significant upgrade with color changing, dimming, and voice control. The voice control is particularly convenient when I have my portable Alexa speaker outside by the hot tub. Overall, I'm happy with the lights, especially at the sale price – I'd recommend waiting for a discount to get the best value.

Awesome lights! Easy to install and connect to app.So fun to create lighting patterns for holidays, sporting events and just for fun. I did have a strand burn out and the company next day shipped a replacement at no cost to me. I just sent my receipt and a photo of the defective lights. Very happy with their customer service and product!

These things are amazing value is thru the roof best lights I've ever bought for the pool very bright endless possibilities functionality is great easy to connectivity thru the app timer feature works flawless

Easy install. Works fantastic with the home skills app.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I love Govee! Although I am leaving a 4 star review on this because it is meant to be an outdoor light but yet the plug-in and controller do not have anything to protect them from the weather. Also, the length of cable from the control box to the first light should be a lot longer IMHO. That way maybe you could find a safe spot to plug it in and put the box and still have some cable till the first light. The app and choices are great! And very happy with this selection. I only have one string but like the capability to add another set. I used a Hrensaw Medium Outdoor Electrical Box https://amzn.to/462ISCi along with Power Strip Weatherproof, Transparent Surge Protector with 3 Wide Outlets https://amzn.to/3T2zPKa. I then got something to set the green box on top of and it seems to work well. Connectivity:Able to use the Govee App and my Alexa also can turn it on and off super easily.Color:Love the ability to change each bulb, and change the theme and speed. It would be nice to have even more granular control of the speed of some of the color changing.Brightness:Plenty bright and has the ability to dim.

The lights are awesome. Love the effects. I'm writing the review for the customer service though. I had an issue with my lights (that I'm pretty sure wasn't a fault of Govee's), let them know through the app, and they fixed me right up QUICKLY. 6 stars for customer service!

Govee is a solid product. Easy to install and controls

It was a very nice light set, unfortunately they died within eight months. Others stated they felt the controller wasn't weather proof, so I kept it inside the garage and ran the lights out the windows and they still died. This is the second set I've had died within a year.Update:Govee actually reached out to me and offered to replace the set free of charge. The new set has arrived and works, so I am very thankful for that. I did do a little test and switched out the old power supply with the new one and everything works, so the issues seems to be the power supply going out as others have suggested. Again, It's a nice set and customer support replaced the set so that's nice.
