GoveeRGBIC LED Strip Lights 32.8ft with Covers, Smart Lights Work with Alexa and Google Assistant, LED Diffuser Channel with LED Lights for Bedroom, Skirting Lines, Studio, Cabinet

Such a good light connects easy. Timer is right and exact. Enjoyable fun looking. The adhesive is strong. A decent value for the money.

I have been super pleased with these lights. We installed them semi-permanently near the ceiling to provide diffuse light for a dark office, and while they are not bright enough to light the whole space on their own, they are quite bright! The diffuser and track instaled without any trouble, and were easy to cut to exactly the right size when we needed. Overall, these lights are great quality, and the app is surprisingly full-featured which lets us play with some fun lighting effects.

This item is really actually 2 products in one. There's a RGBIC lightstrip, and a set of diffuser channels. The light density on the strip is such that you will achieve fully even diffusion along the entire length of the channel if you use this lightstrip inside. The bonus is that the lightstrip is attached to the channel with these clips, so while the channel uses 3M VHB to install to a wall, the lightstrip itself is not permanently attached to the channels. You can reuse these lights for something else later on, if you decide to remove the channels.That being said, several things to consider about this kit: they provide angle connectors for inner and outer angles along the horizontal length, but they do not provide any 90 degree corner right angles, for going from horizontal to vertical. You will need to hack something together if your run involves any of these turns.The lights themselves are very vibrant, typical of Govee lights. Consequently, they are also unable to be dimmed down, so there's really no visible difference between 1% brightness and 30% brightness. Just be aware that once these lights are installed, you will have to turn them completely off if you no longer want a bright light in the installed area. There is no "dim" option with this lightstrip--it's either bright, brighter, brightest, or off.The color movement along the lights also appears a bit choppy at times. Instead of seeing a smooth and continuous transition of colors along its length, you will see a very abrupt segment of color that's sliding across the length, at a frame rate that is low enough for each segment to have a noticeable pause during the transition. It looks stutery and choppy, because it isn't using a gradient transition that will smooth out the colors as they change.All things said, it's a pretty good deal for the price of the kit. You're getting fully diffused channels, a reusable light strip, and app control for the whole thing with smart home control compatibility. You can setup complex triggers to control these through Smartthings and Alexa, like motion or presence triggers, or times of day, or nest them together so motion triggers difference scenes during different times of the day, whether or not you're home. The wifi module included with this kit really opens the possibilities for what you can use these lights for. I think the sum of all those parts will more than justify the price.

Fantastic LED Show super custom and full of colors. Will definitely get some more to expand my projects …

I ordered the light "Bar" (with the track/covers), as well as the light strip these guys sell, wanting to compare the difference. I'm installing in an RV, so it's a bit more challenging. As for this light bar product, it was very nicely packaged, probably too nice. The installation instructions were pretty clear and easy to follow, EXCEPT, the retaining clips. The photo of the clip install is a bit unclear to me. A profile photo of that clip might help, as to how it's installed in the track. I'd suggestion just playing with a piece in your hand until you totally get how the clip fits in the track. It fits as it should, but super tight, and took a bit more force to get in place, and is the only possible weak point, but still a super minor thing. I will be buying more of these at some point. They are GREAT if you stay in a simple straight line, or on one plane, as in around a ceiling, or as accent lighting. Make sure your cuts are straight, as there are a lot of leds in this and it will peak out of any cover if not matched up tight. I'd prefer each track be a bit longer, maybe even a meter, plus a couple shorter. A dremel cutoff wheel does the trick to easily cut.To me, the 'bar' is great if directly in your sights, like around a ceiling, and their regular sticky light strips, would def be better out of sight, like under cabinet, but still not bad even within view.And their APP is super nice, and will do anything I can imagine. Is fairly intuitive. Only knock, so much info is packed on the screen, it's hard to scroll without touching an option and changing things on accident. Maybe space out the selectable items a bit more, leave room for a finger to scroll. But, overall all, great job. Worked very well with Alexa, easy integration. The light "bar" item is a bit more pricey, but it does look/feel a bit premium, but at $50 it'd be a very good value.

Do not buy anything from Govee! The old app that was used to control their products did not collect any information and required no permissions to use it. Unfortunately I got rid of my older device I used the older app on and when I went to download the new app I see it requires a bunch of intrusive permissions, they share your data with third parties now, and they require and email and account setup just to use it. Like I said the older app required NO permissions or account setup to use, obviously they don't need all that info including your location but now it's a requirement just to use a light strip. I never would have bought these lights had they required all those permissions at the time. I will never buy another one of their products as long as they data harvest a bunch of personal information just to use a light strip, how ridiculous is that. I'm not surprised tho this is how greedy companies work, first they sell a bunch of lights that don't require info to use, then they change the app and all of a sudden everyone who bought these products has to give away all their personal info in order to use them, it should be a crime.
