5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely recommended. Fantastic lights.

The media could not be loaded. If you want some decent lights, then look no further. These are brilliant. Great construction, extremely easy to install on the app and also Alexa.I’ve bought a weatherproof termination box to have the plug in as it’s not weatherproof (pic included). For info; these fitted perfectly for a 3x3m pergola. I used some adhesive cable bases from Screwfix and cable ties to fix up via the cable as I found the hooks on the bulbs didn’t allow them to sit straight, but the hooks are more for when fixing onto guttering or fences. The selection choice of colours and scenes is enormous and there is the ability to set up colours, scenes and brightness in Alexa so you can ask her to change them on demand. The lights are bright enough, especially on the brightest white. The one thing I found helpful was the ability for the lights to remember their last state as I’ve got them to come on with our other outside lights. The only slight negative was the plug to first light cable length isn’t very long and I wanted the control box tucked away in the termination box, but the length wouldn’t allow that. But overall these lights are well recommended, especially whilst on offer.

Brilliant lights, endless combinations of colours and effects. The app is brilliant. Love the AI feature where you describe what you want and it comes up with a scene. Bought them on offer at a bargain price. Already bought another set!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great look but no extension... Option not available

S. · 8 June 2025

App is great and works great. The bulbs are quite spaced out so the effect is a little lost. Shame they don't sell just the extension lights. Gover is a trusted brand in smart home so you are going to love the app. The bulbs housing is very white which in a garden is a bit gareish in the daytime. At night it comes alive but I'm so on the edge about physical looks. Well built and aligned with price point. Not sure they have you hooked on brand as I would like to see a better degree of upgrades or adding to length. They built in extendability but then don't sell or manufacture the additional string. Very odd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Bright and loads of colours

Great product, the functionality of being able to create different lighting scenes is amazing, they are super expensive though so not great value for money. They are very easy to install as you can simply hang them on whatever using the hooks on the lights. Loads of Colour options and they are really bright. I am very happy with this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical colourful lights for our little garden

After months of putting up with solar I finally caved and bought these. Wish I’d got them earlier. They are the perfect finish to my magical little garden. We have a lot of smart lights and bulbs, a range of brands. Govee isn’t the cheapest but it’s the best and these are no exception. Very easy to program and effortlessly works with Alexa. I always use the warm colours as I find they’re a better aesthetic but that’s easy to do. Love them. 15 lights on the string and a decent amount of cable either side.

3.0 out of 5 stars Clever bright lights with silly flaw

M. · 3 January 2025

Arrived fast, well packaged with simple instructions and faultless setup.3 problems:1 Plug is too large to fit inside standard outdoor socket enclosure.2 Length of wire between controller unit and first light is about a metre which is pathetic. The first 6 lights are now on floor until they get to fence I wanted them on.3 Control of lights is time consuming unless you select one of many fairly similar presets. Having addressed each light individually and save it, it’s now not obvious how I add a flash or chasing action to it

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong, robust, great lights

Amazing lights, plenty long enough for my small patio area. Fully controllable via the app, change colours and lighting sequences. If you already have other Govee product you can link together via Dreaview and every thing can be same colours, or choose your own.Would advise buying some 3mm steel wire and puting that up first, then han the lights to the wire. Ensures the strain is not on the cable for the lights if it gets windy.
