5.0 out of 5 stars Control over lights
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 $8096 feet of Govee was. About $100I'll try some more with the govee and edit later should I remember to come back.
5.0 out of 5 stars Super happy with the lights
I was a little skeptical at the beginning. My installation of the lights had the power switch located only reachable by a ladder. I had reached out to Govee support to see if they can provide/sell one segment of the cable so that i can easily reach the on/off switch. The longer the length, they add more segments and the on/off switch is just another segment that connects. Unfortunately, Govee said they do not have segments that that they could provide/sell. I would recommend that they add this cable extension as an offering.So I attempted setup knowing that I could not be able to reach the on/off switch unless a ladder is present. The light setup is easy and works great. I don't have wifi internet at the location but every time I'm within range with my phone, my phone pairs to the lights without issue and I have immediate control of the lights. Since I have setup the lights, I have not had to press the on/off button to sync to my phone. This has been fantastic and what I needed since they could not provide/sell a basic extension link for the lights to relocate the on/off switch.The only things that I wish was different, if I set the lights to the music setting, it disregards my bulb color configuration and the lights change color through the rainbow. I would prefer if I had a certain light color configuration that the music setting would honor the light bulb color configuration. Other than that, the lights are awesome and I would recommend!
5.0 out of 5 stars So much fun to use.
I have so much fun using these lights. The lights are lights, but what makes these superior is the app and features. You. An do anything with them. A ton of preset options and every DYI optionI even used AI to generate a scene for my detroit lions when the game is on.I need govee to make a speaker I can link to the lights for touchdowns. And a button a can hit on phone or remote to active sound and light action.
5.0 out of 5 stars Looks good, easy to install
Got these to go around the house and they look great and very easy to install.... seems durabale enough for Minnesota weather. Lots of color to pick from and very vibrite.
1.0 out of 5 stars Poor design AVOID
This product has no support for extensions, not only for extending beyond one string set, but more importantly no extensions at the start of the lights…Since most outlets are basically 6 inches from the floor, you plug this set in with the power adapter and then you have a foot or two of wire before you get to the control box (allows you to turn it off and on) and then just a couple more feet before the first light. This means one of two things: either 1. You going to have your first light just 4 feet off the ground hanging there followed by the second light in a foot or two OR 2. you’re going put an extension into the power adapter and plug that into the wall to give you length to get the first lights at ceiling height…but then your control box that allows you to turn the power off/on is eight or 10 feet off the ground just hanging there close to the first light.Specifically, the design is terrible because the kit has easy access to connection points that allow you to separate/disconnect the wires at different points including the beginning of the string after the power box…implying that there should be a compatible extension provided by the manufacturer that would solve this very simple problem. If these weren’t marketed as string lights for ceilings or for patio pergolas I wouldn’t be so upset, but because these are intended to be hung eight or 10 feet off the ground, it seems like they would have made the necessary extension. No extension exists that’s compatible with these strings (not by the manufacturer and not anywhere on the internet). This very simple design flaw should’ve been noticed and corrected by now. AVOID unless your hanging these 4 ft off the ground or don’t care about a sloppy look.
Simple to install, Bright as required and simple App synchronization
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.
Work well
Feel like they are well made. Used them quite a bit on the back deck this summer. You can play with them for hours with all the customization options. Fully customize them right down to individual lights, crazy. Synced them with Google Home easily. Recommend.
They work.
You can easily change any bulb colour from there app. They seem really bight when you up it to max brightness. These should work for some Halloween lighting i plan do nicely.
Awesome lights
They were easy to install in our summer hut. Love the app and the functions of the lights
Versatile Sting Lights
I sometimes DJ, and these lights are awesome for stringing up and providing great atmospheric light and a cool vibe. I especially like the music mode of the string lights in the app that matches the music to the beat of the music. Nothing but compliments from other DJs and partygoers about the lights. Would highly recommend.
