Govee RGBIC LED Strip Lights 32 8ft with Covers Smart Lights Work with Alexa and Google Assistant LED

Note: We thought we were being smart choosing the16 ft because it’s $1/ft cheaper but you can only connect 2 of the 16 ft. Which means if the room needs 3 of them, you will have to run 2 plug/cords up the wall rather than one. Just something to consider. Really easy to install. Our 16 yo daughter installed them by herself. The only thing that was challenging was cutting the diffuser plastic. They should give a little extra. There is no extra for error so be careful. Govee quality is good. They are pricey and but not much more than other brands. Diffuser makes a great ambiance! App is easy to use and you can connect all 3 to operate together in the app. Read more

The media could not be loaded. The installation of these Govee lights in our music studio has created the atmosphere necessary for production and recording sessions! The easy installation, the color options, the functionality and the overall fun that you can have with these lights is incredible - would highly recommend! @ymtowers Read more

Great looking lights with great diffusers when set up properly. I really wish it came with tools to better adjust for customizable size for the hard plastic parts and the diffusers. This made the set up a bit difficult, the software for the lights needs upgrading for easier use and convenience. Very vibrant, set up is a bit tedious, and quite difficult to get the spacing between diffusers right, there should also be diffuser connectors to remove possibility of spacing between diffuser to avoid awkward spots.

10/10. Bright lights, easy to install, love the customization. Once the covers are on its almost impossible to see the individual LEDs, it looks like one cohesive light. I was initially worried about being able to see the gaps between the sections. But they're invisible after everything is installed, I love the look of the lights all along the baseboards. The configuration app can be a bit tricky to make full use of, but once you get the hang of it its pretty easy. I dont even have to turn the lights on myself anymore as they're all connected to wifi and on timers. The app also let's you configure different animations, colors, and patterns, that can all be triggered either based off a timer, from the app, or they also sell physical buttons and sensors that you can configure to change the lighting. Definitely a solid purchase, I'll likely be buying more for the other rooms in my house. Govee is a solid company. Also a note on Govee's customer support: When I recieved my unit, it worked for 2 hours then the power supply failed, must've been a fluke because all my Govee products till now have been super reliable. I contacted Govee customer service, they were extremely polite and responded quickly. They asked me to do basic troubleshooting steps, and within 2 hours of initially contacting them they said they were just going to mail me an entire new unit, didnt even try to make me mail back the old unit. The replacement arrived within a couple days. 11/10, by far the best customer service experience I've had with any company. I never write reviews, but their customer service was so good I just had to say something about it. Read more

We recently bought Govee’s LED strip lights with the diffuser channel (the frosted plastic cover inside the plastic rail), and it’s AWESOME!!!!. We’ve had great experiences with Govee products in the past, and this felt like the best option on the market. Huge kudos to Govee’s engineers for how well thought out this system is, especially the way the LED strips clip cleanly into the rail and providing precut 45 degree rail pieces (and corners) for the corners (details below). We installed the lights along the ceiling line of a room. To fit our space, we purchased both the 16’ and 32’ kits. In hindsight, we were very glad we chose the longer 16’ option instead of the 9’. Having extra pieces gave us peace of mind in case something broke or needed reworking during installation. Differences between the 16’ and 32’ kits: They use the same technology, but differ in length and model number. The 16’ kit currently has access (through the app) to Govee’s “Share Spaces” feature, which lets you browse and “User community” created lighting setups. We also noticed the 16’ kit came with longer adhesive strips, which in our opinion were better (see attached photo). A few helpful installation notes: • Pick a corner near power and start there. Spend a little time planning the layout. • The YouTube channel “ChrisMaherDIY” was incredibly helpful for seeing the unboxing and basic installation before starting. • Take time to familiarize yourself with everything in the box before you begin. The video above helps identify what each piece is. • For corners, Govee includes 8 pre-cut 45° rails per box for corners (4 inner and 4 outer bends). • Each kit (both 16’ and 32’) includes 8 corner attachments for the frosted plastic covers. (4 inner and 4 outer bends). • Practice sliding the frosted cover into the rail before you’re up on a ladder. It’s not hard, but it’s annoying to figure out overhead. • While there’s no physical way to connect the 16’ and 32’ kits together, if you create a “room” in the app and add both sets, they sync automatically. This was a pleasant surprise. • If you’re installing right along the ceiling line and have textured or popcorn ceilings, leave a tiny gap between the ceiling and the rail. This mainly affects the start and end caps. • Cutting pieces: Regular scissors and wire cutters don’t work. Ideally, use a miter saw or a Dremel. If you don’t have those (I didn’t), straight tin snips (yellow handle) or “Fiskars Pro PowerArc Shop Shears” work. I used tin snips for both the rails and frosted plastic. The cuts lines weren’t perfect, but they worked. In hindsight, the Fiskars shears would’ve given cleaner, straighter cuts. • Adhesion: In some spots, the rails didn’t stick well, even after cleaning the wall. The spare pieces with longer adhesive helped, but a few sections needed extra support. “Scotch Removable Clear Double-Sided Mounting Squares” worked well with a little trimming of the tape. • If the rails aren’t perfectly straight, don’t stress. Once the frosted cover is installed, it hides and straightens minor imperfections, especially when spanning two rail pieces. • When cutting the frosted covers, measure twice and cut once. I ended up with a few tiny gaps that were barely noticeable (mostly because I knew where to look). This was due to using tin snips and not getting perfectly straight cuts. • This install is definitely easier with two people. One person can hold, align, or slide pieces while the other measures, cuts, or presses the rails in place. It saves time and frustration, especially around corners. • If you have furniture that’s hard to move and you’re leaning awkwardly to deal with corners: instead of trying to custom-cut the frosted plastic right there, slide the full-length cover pieces toward the corner. That way, the section that needs the custom cut ends up in front of a more accessible part of the wall, making measuring and cutting much easier. • The power button/control module is about 18” from the end of the LED strip. To keep the cable looking clean against the wall (or in a corner, closer to a power outlet in our case), we used a simple cord hider, which made a big visual difference. Overall, this is an AWESOME product with thoughtful design. Installation takes some patience (took us about 3-4 hours to do a 12’x10’ room), but the end result is absolutely worth it. Hopefully these tips help make your install smoother than ours. Read more

Love how bright they are and how many options the app has, but the adhesive pads could be stronger they fell over and over until the bulbs started to malfunction and now I have to look for new lights Update: I gave them 2 more stars because their customer service representative was very understanding and went above and beyond to help me with my issue Read more
