Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights 2, 144ft RGBIC Patio Lights with 45 Bulbs

I recently installed the Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights in my backyard, and I gotta say, they’ve totally transformed my space! Setting them up was a breeze; I just followed the straightforward instructions. The smart app is user-friendly, and I loved being able to customize the colors and patterns to match my mood or the occasion. What really impressed me was the brightness. They illuminate my patio perfectly without being overwhelming. I’ve used them for a cozy dinner with friends, and they created such a warm atmosphere. Plus, the fact that I can control them from my phone is a game changer. I can adjust the settings right from my seat! The build quality seems solid, and they’ve held up well to some light rain, which is a plus. I appreciate how energy-efficient they are too. Overall, I’m really happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend these lights if you’re looking to add some charm to your outdoor space. They make nights on the patio feel extra special!

nice and bright, easy to set up and pair with apps

I had them installed around the lanai. Fun and beautiful lighting options. Everyone loves them.

I have purchased quite a few items from Govee and for the most part, have not had any issues, however their customer service is horrible. I have had this item for about 11 months and the adaptor has quite working and needs to be replaced. Did all the problem research, disconnect and reconnect, click the reset button for 10 second. Nothing worked. Called customer service and they had me complete an online form. They told me they would review and send out the new part since it was under the one year warranty. Then I get an email stating they want a video of what is wrong. No, I cannot take a video. So I called again and asked to speak with a supervisor, they said they would need to complete a request and send to a supervisor and they would call me in 24 hours. This problem has been going on for two weeks. There seems to be an issue with Govee outdoor light products as we have had issues with other products filling up with water, but that was covered under warranty and they did send out new lights. I am not asking for the whole light strand, just the adaptor.

Works great! I like the clips that come with it for multiple ways to hang it

Really cool product. We did a major backyard reno project, and these new smart lights are the biggest "hit" of the whole thing, for only <$150. They're about twice the price of standard white LED string lights for the same length, but IMO certainly worth the extra. In addition to white, these can also do any color - You can pick any spot on a color wheel on the app to set all lights to that color. Every light is also individually customizable. It comes with ~50 preset themes, many of which have some degree of motion (some too much!), and you can program customized themes as well, such as red/white/blue or purple/orange for certain holidays, etc. In addition to providing ambience, these lights provide some fun entertainment themselves, as I'll find myself just sitting out back and playing with the app for kicks. Brightness is adjustable too, and they're bright enough that we have to dumb it down below 100% for most color themes. One thing to note: You can't just string together as many of these as you want like typical light strands that only have a power requirement, because smart lights also have a controller requirement that talks to each light. This set can do 1, 2, or 3 strands of 50 ft for up to 150 ft. I did have the same problem one other reviewer mentioned, where after a week they started randomly flashing real bad. Thought it was buggy and was about to return. But I noticed that the first strand was fine, the flashies were occurring every bulb after the first-to-second strand connection, and it had also rained recently. So I thought maybe moisture got in that connection. Unconnected, let it dry for a couple days, reconnected, ensured it was super tight, and sealed the connection with electrical tape to prevent moisture from getting in. Fixed it and have been running fine for 2 weeks since. Now all my connections have the same treatment. Hopefully that keeps the issue away, as it really is a neat product.

Easy setup. Look great. We enjoy it.

This is my 1st purchase of these lights. I purchased a few sets of atomi smart led a few years earlier so I can make a small comparison between those 2 companies. Atomi - heavier lights so they seem more durable. Never had one go out. These hung year round on my front porch. With the color themes I could change per season/holiday/event. The wire was heavy gauge. Make it good for durability but hanging was more of an issue. Thick like a pencil. The app was acceptable given the use but could use improvements. Kind if easy to have a timer or scene setting. The biggest issue. Connection to them was and is a pain in the ass. The 1st sets I wad able to connect after calling customer service. Worked great after that. NEEDS the lower wifi band. (2.8 I think it was) the higher band it didn't work. I have extenders and that had the band needed. I moved not long ago and tried to reconnect to the new router. Will not connect no matter what. I've tried everything but calling again. Long ago I had an issue and called. The company sent a full set to replace. I just opened to try then out and the bulb housing is smaller. Not able to purchase this lights again made me look at govee. The new set connected immediately when I 1st plugged in. So I have manual sets, all 3 and 1 that works wifi. Pointless.... currently these are unavailable. GOVEE - Smaller lightweight bulbs. They are BRIGHT. When I first plugged them in it didn't seem so great. Thats because the default was set to 60%. Nearly blinded myself turning them up. The wires are thin. Almost like Christmas lights that were coated with a rubber that made it a little thicker. The app. Oh the glorious app. I couldn't believe the control. You can select EACH light and change the color. Plenty of pre programmed scenes. My neighbors must have wondered what was going on since I was playing with the colors and scenes for 30 min and still had more to go. There's a music setting so the sound will trigger the lights to strobe. Someone had fireworks going off so it was a fun time to try. The "down side" was the plastic clips to hang the strands. Took a little time and measuring to keep them even. That's also the upside. You can make them short or longer pending preference. Given both companies I'd stay with Govee. Price and app were the best parts. 24 feet of atomi were about $80 96 feet of Govee was. About $100 I'll try some more with the govee and edit later should I remember to come back. EDIT: still glad I purchased these. I'm asked about them all the time.

I set these up on my gazebo. I enjoy the "scenes". You can choose any color or group of colors, and you can change how fast they flicker. I like the app, I find it works well. It does keep saying its disconnected from the lights, but then I click reconnect and it does so instantly, so it's not an issue. I'm happy I got these lights. They really enhance the ambience of my backyard! They have survived the first rains, so they seem durable.

Love everything about these lights. Customizable for every season in our yard. I mostly bought them so I could have lights on for my dogs when they go out at night but I also like them for myself. I like picking the fun preset colors and choosing my own patterns. You can adjust the brightness and timing. They were so easy to set up. Highly recommend!

These lights are easy to hang and include clips to further make the effort easier. They fit perfectly into a 10x10 gazebo attached to the struts. As advertised you can control the color and brightness of the lights. down to the individual globe, (maybe overkill). But, the App is easy to install and connect to. Many themes and preconfigured settings you can take advantage of with timers. The cost is higher than many similar products, but not by much. This is a solid product, works as advertised, and a great investment.

Great lights! Fun colours and create a very nice ambiance.

Very disappointed with these after all the issues recently with the spot lights.. now these are filling with water. 50% lights dont work in less than 1yr outdoor usage. Algae even growing in a few :(
