these lights are not individually controlled that's what the ic in rgbic its supposed to mean. not groups of 6 lights, like this strip does. can't get much of a chase effect when big blocks of lights are grouped together on such a short strip.i expect better from govee than to mislabel a product with a feature it doesn't even have
no remote controller. shoddy wifi instructions. difficulty connecting. and when i connected and started setting up the lights it was okay but then i noticed the worst flaw. the led light density was downright miserably low. even for cheap brands. i bought these to replace my day better lights that broke after 3 years of use. saw they were wifi, and usually of higher quality. that seemed to be a lie. especially considering the daybetter ones were 20 bucks and these retail for more than triple that. they're not brighter, nor more dense. it fails in both aspects that you want. what's worse is the rolls of lights cannot be detached from the switch they're connected to. making it a worse user experience in laying out the lights than a cheaper brand. it's more cumbersome and fails in all the metrics compared to cheaper brands, yet it's got a premium price tag. save your money. but any other brand of led light strips you'll be better off. wildly disappointed.picture 1 is the govee lights with their density. picture 2 are the cheapo lights i already had.
i have used previous version of govee rgb lights and good thing in previous was controller were detachable.i installed one h618e 65ft in my son bedroom. controller was solved to led strips going each direction about 33 ft length. if you install at ceiling, there is about 1-1.5 feet distance of controller from strips so it has to be sticked some where on wall (vs i was able to extend previous versions). well lights in my son room is working fine.. my wife liked it so i bought two more to install in master bedroom which is twice as size so bought two 65feet roles.. tested them and installed one roll.. lights didn’t work after installation… first some segments were working and then everything stopped except one side about 4-5 leds were on.. tried resetting controller ( removing from app etc) and adding back. app shows all operations successfull but nothing is turning on except about 5 leds in light blue color.. turning off from controller or changing color not working so it appears most likely controllernow i wasted almost 3 hours sticking these .. what can i do, can’t change controller if it is bad since controller is permanently attchaed… how dono return? taking off the whole strip and packing them with open sticky side? how would i pack it? very bad experience, submitted a trouble ticket with govee but no response yet…i wish if there is way to fix it without taking them which will be a pain
i think this company has alot going for it. i do plan on purchasing more down the line.however this review is telling of my experience buying this product through amazon. upon inspection the box was opened and the cords decently arranged. the govee sticker on the reel of leds ever so slightly pealed back. powered them on, cool we were good to go.it took six hours to run this thing through a series of tunnels and curves only to find when you stand back, yellows, greens and whites were not consistent throughout. you could select all white and colors would fade in the last 13 feet to yellow and even orange. therefore greens, yellows, whites, and oranges all show inconsistencies. what's weird is. if i put the whole line on solid red through app and turn the last 13 feet to white. that 13 feet of white is strong and solid. no fade. so i'm assuming the controller was bad and it was returned. then resold to me. so thanks for that.
i do like that you can control segments and create a variety of color schemes. they’re not the brightest kit i’ve owned and that can be frustrating. there is no remote for this kit and the manual module that they strips route through is cheaply made and not the most intuitive controller. the app’s user interface is confusing. i’m considering taking them down and ordering another brand.
the lights are bright as hell and they stick good. the app is cool but you can’t change the speeds of the modes and there fast as hell. other than that their badass.
