Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights 2, 144ft RGBIC Outdoor Lights with Dimmable Warm White LED Bulbs, IP65, 47 Scene Modes for Patio, Backyard, Balcony

I purchased these Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights for my backyard, and they have completely transformed the atmosphere of the space. The lighting quality is excellent, and the RGBIC effects make the colors look vibrant, smooth, and much more customizable compared to standard outdoor string lights. One of my favorite features is the ability to control everything directly through the Govee app, which makes changing colors, brightness, scenes, and schedules extremely convenient. The app setup process was straightforward, and the lights connected quickly without any frustrating setup issues. I also really appreciate the wide variety of scene modes because it allows me to switch between relaxing warm lighting, colorful holiday themes, or more energetic effects depending on the occasion. The brightness level is impressive as well, providing plenty of illumination for patios, outdoor gatherings, or evening relaxation without being too harsh. The build quality feels durable and weather-resistant, and the lights have held up very well through rain, humidity, and changing outdoor conditions. Another feature I enjoy is the compatibility with Alexa and smart home controls, which makes it easy to adjust the lighting using voice commands when entertaining guests or relaxing outside. The bulbs themselves look modern and attractive, and the overall setup gives the backyard a very clean and upscale appearance at night. Overall, these are some of the best outdoor string lights I’ve owned, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to add customizable smart lighting and a more enjoyable atmosphere to their outdoor space.

I set these up on my gazebo. I enjoy the "scenes". You can choose any color or group of colors, and you can change how fast they flicker. I like the app, I find it works well. It does keep saying its disconnected from the lights, but then I click reconnect and it does so instantly, so it's not an issue. I'm happy I got these lights. They really enhance the ambience of my backyard! They have survived the first rains, so they seem durable.

Love everything about these lights. Customizable for every season in our yard. I mostly bought them so I could have lights on for my dogs when they go out at night but I also like them for myself. I like picking the fun preset colors and choosing my own patterns. You can adjust the brightness and timing. They were so easy to set up. Highly recommend!

Second edit: Customer service in the app is amazing!!! Don't worry about getting an extended warranty ETA: They broke after 4 months outside... I can't get them to connect to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth so I'm going to have to take them down since I can't figure out how to replace just the connection piece.... Very sad. Not worth the money... Original review: I love love love LOVE these!!! They app is easy and simple to use, so at first I was overwhelmed with how much could be done with them but the scenes they have set are amazing and it easily saves my custom colors. Neighbors have commented on how lovely they are, saying they make us look like the fun house of the street! :)

Water got into one of the bulbs and now the whole string doesn’t work. Edit: I emailed Govee Support and they had a replacement on my doorstep in two days. I was really impressed.
