These Govee permanent lights are incredible! I got them for Christmas, but they’re so versatile I keep them up all year. You can light every other strand or every other light, making them wrap perfectly around my house. The soft white glow looks stunning on my porch, shining down the sides just right. Plus, you can dim or brighten them with the app—never too harsh. Easy to install, weatherproof, and make my home look magical any season. Obsessed! Read more
[UPDATE 1/20/2026: After writing my initial review, GOVEE reached out and offered a complete and total refund for the product. I’d rank this as outstanding customer service regardless of whether or not I need to get replacement lights. I still very much love the lights, and felt heard by the company. Thank you so much GOVEE, and I look forward to getting more of your products] I’ll start this review by stating how much I absolutely love the way these look on our house. Fantastic. The colors are clear, easily adjustable, and vibrant. Installing was a welcome challenge and we are certainly one of the more eye-catching homes on the block. The app is mostly easy to navigate and our girls have enjoyed themselves immensely while adjusting the settings and moods However, less than two months after I got them hung up; an entire strand is already out. Totally and completely out. I did every troubleshooting measure I knew, checked and triple checked all connections, and made sure there was no physical damage. For as much as I spent on them, (150ft length) it is disappointing that an entire string of 12 lights is already out. If I’d written a review a week after installation, it would’ve been a full 5 stars because we’re obsessed with the product overall. But I can’t in good faith because we don’t even get through the Christmas season before losing an entire section of our lighting. Hoping someone from Govee can help me out. I’ll happily adjust my review if an accommodation can be made. The photo I uploaded is from before the section going out Read more

There comes a moment in every homeowner’s life when you look at your house and think: “This could be... more.” More cheerful, more dramatic, more like the sort of place where people assume a wizard or at least someone with a strong sense of seasonal enthusiasm lives. Enter the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 — 150 feet of glowing, RGBIC magnificence that promises to turn your humble abode into something out of a Pixar movie. Now, full disclosure: installing these is not for the impatient. There will be ladders. There will be questionable angles. There will be a point—somewhere around LED number 47—where you will question your own life choices. The adhesive mounts and clips require the kind of commitment usually reserved for marriage or IKEA furniture. And yet, like those noble endeavors, perseverance brings reward. Because when you finally stand back, sweaty and triumphant, phone in hand, and the app bursts your house into technicolor glory—oh, the joy! Suddenly your home transforms into a living, breathing light display that can whisper warm amber in the fall, twinkle softly in winter’s hush, or dazzle the neighborhood with full-blown carnival chaos when the mood (or the holiday) strikes. The control app is wonderfully over-the-top—an artist’s palette of modes and effects. You can schedule subtle elegance or full disco delirium, all from your phone. The range of colors is staggering, from sophisticated architectural glow to “Vegas-at-midnight.” Your neighbors might either adore you or begin petitioning for blackout curtains. After nearly a year of use, these lights have held up brilliantly. Through New England snow, spring rain, and the occasional errant soccer ball, they’ve stayed bright, responsive, and smugly superior to anything involving extension cords. So yes—installation will test your patience. You may mutter, you may even invent new curse words. But when all is said and done, you’ll be the proud ruler of your very own illuminated castle. Five stars. Because sometimes, true beauty demands a bit of effort—and a sturdy ladder. Read more
