    Great lights. App is kinda poorly designed imo but the lights themselves are great. Even had 2 bulbs fall out (make sure they are all screwed in tight as they were all kinda loose) and they didn’t break at all. Just screwed em back on.

    These are great! Just enough brightness to see the back half of my yard. The only semi downfall to these is that I was only able to connect 2 strands together so I ened up using diuble plug space.

    Not bad of a product but the build quality seems a bit cheap. Glad I was able to purchase it at a sale price at best buy. I originally purchased it from Lowe's on sale and best buy had it for a even better sale price so I ended up returning the one from Lowe's (never opened).

    I was very disappointed with this product. I am from Maine and was looking to light up the backyard this summer. I was excited for like two weeks when the lights worked great and I could program them. Then some of the bulbs stopped working. I contacted customer support and they directed me to govee's website. I received a new string of lights after I had to hound them about the situation.

    The packaging is good, the app works great! But the quality between the wire and the individual bulb is poor. Lots of space for water to go inside. On the manual, it also states the controller (connected to the cord next to the plug in) is not outdoor rated.

    These "outside" lights make no sense. They are not waterproof in any way. Rain gets in the bulbs and rusts the electronics, making them fail. I had them on twice before it rained and that was the last time they worked. A complete waste of money.

    We love these for our outdoor gazebo. Easy to set up and use. Plenty of features and colors vice other ones I have used. The only quirk is the clips that you see, I used zip ties and tried hanging them on them, but they fall easily so had to zip tie around the chords.

    These lights adjust to so many different patterns, colors, and intensities. We thought these were a great purchase for our pool area, and for our deck at our vacation house.. They have a sturdy feel to them, and can be adjusted very brightly. I would definitely recommend these for either indoor or outdoor usage.

    This is the lighting I have on my patio and it’s made me the hit of my neighborhood. I love being able to change each bulb to whatever color I choose and the pre-built ones for holidays are great. I wasn’t expecting the music feature, but it was a welcome surprise. No complaints.

    Not for outdoor. Didnt last. Bulbs held water every time it would rain. Junk and disappointed. They were awesome while they worked being programmable. Total design flaw on not being for outdoor use clearly.

    These are amazing with all the presets. I like that you can control the brightness. We have these on our gazebo next to our hot tub. These really set the atmosphere, with the "Romantic" setting, and turning the brightness down to 5% when in the hot tub at night.
