Work just fine as long as youโre careful!
I donโt often write reviews, but I thought it could be helpful information since Iโve been through a few sets of these lights.
Pros:
- Good, easy to use app
- Bright, responsive lights
- Great customer service
- Low price, especially for the length
Cons:
- Fairly easy to tear/break
- Cannot use solderless connectors to navigate corners (to my understanding)
- Hit or miss functionality
- Not Alexa compatible (which is stated in description)
Iโve purchased three sets of these lights, ultimately they are good you just have to be careful.
1. The first one worked ok for a while, but they stopped working, presumably, after my cat bit part of it
2. I ordered another set since they had been working fine until my cat got to it. When I received this one, it was clearly not programmed correctly or there was some other technical issue with it as it would not respond to the app, though the app would say it was connected and would flash random colors in random different sections. I contacted customer service who walked me through some troubleshooting and ultimately sent me a new set, which arrived very quickly, which was greatly appreciated.
3. The third set arrived and seemed to function just fine. After installing them in the same way that I had installed the first set of lights, they soon ended up tearing at a turn point (I used their suggested technique for navigating corners) and no longer worked past that section. I tried to find any solderless connectors that I could use (now that I had at least two sets of partially working lights) however I could not find any that would be compatible (which makes sense given these are RBGIC lights and Govee themselves also stated this to be the case)
Ultimately, I donโt think I will buy another set and will probably just spend a little extra for a different set of light strips, likely from the same brand since a different model Iโve used before (TV backlights) has worked well and is Alexa compatible. Plus, Goveeโs app is easy to use and has a nice UI.
