We bought these to replace the boring, white string lights we had on our home and over the patio. Hanging them took some time, but set up was easy and the color options are phenomenal! You can customize each and every individual bulb or by string or you can pick from their wide array of themes. The app is easy to use and allows for saving your favorite custom selections., The options range from steady on to 'dancing' lights. We were so happy with the lights, we bought a second set! As for the GOVEE company. We did experience an issue where the power cord stopped working on the lights. This happened after 6 mos of having the lights installed. We reached out to the company via email from their website. We explained we knew it was the power cord because we used the cord from the second set. GOVEE was extremely responsive and asked for a brief video showing the issue. We provided the video and within 24 hours they had another set mailed to us. We were expecting just a power cord to replace the one we took from the other box, but they sent an entire new set! I would also give GOVEE 5 stars for their stellar customer service!

I was looking for some lights to not only use at Christmas but to keep up all year for just hanging out on the patio. These Govee lights fit the bill to a T. I had bought one other Govee product at that point (PC lighting) and loved it so I thought I'd give the brand another shot. These lights (got two strands so 96 feet) work perfectly! They seem to be well made and the ability to connect them to their app makes them so easy to control too! I love these! Pros: Seem to be very well made. Connects easily to the app. Totally controllable from the app. You can pick different light setups that are on the app (which I did for Christmas as they had like 5 different themes you could do premade) or you can totally make your own rules. You can control every individual light and have it be whatever color you want. It's a little bit of a pain to do but I messed around with it and had some cool patterns going. My favorite part is I have the lights set up on a timer. Every day at 4pm the lights come on and they turn back off at 11:30pm. I never do a thing unless I want to change something. You can even open the app and turn them on like at noon (dark rainy day) and they'll turn on and then it goes into the scheduling and turns off at the 11:30 mark. Very cool! Great light set! Cons: Just two things I can think of... 1) You can only turn them on or off unless you use the app ( and only white steady on) so if you hate having to use apps I'd leave these alone. 2) The controller that is between the end of the light strand and then the power cord doesn't appear to be waterproof. I wouldn't trust that it is anyway. Kinda weird when they are outdoor lights. I bought a waterproof box to keep it watertight. You can barely see the box in the bottom right of my picture.

These lights are fantastic with a lot of diffrent modes. I had the lights for about six months and one day they stopped working. I knew the issue was the power pack as it's not rated to function in water. Mine had gotten wet, so I was prepared to buy a new power pack. I reached out to customer support and asked could I purchase a power pack. The customer service rep asked if I could submit a video and I obliged. The rep contacted me and said they would send a new unit and it will arrive in two days. Expecting a power pack only, to my surprise it was a brand new box of stringlights. Govee support stayed engaged the entire time, even after I received the new unit. Outstanding product and customer service. Buy with confidence!

Pros / tips: - Nice color and even lights -Lights are individually addressable - Much prettier and 'normal' looking than trying to hang christmas 'bullet' leds - WS2812B protocol: string is made up of 30 bulbs, each bulb has 2 addressable lights: an RGB pair and a warm white pair, every other light is white for a total of 60 'logical' lights on the chain - WLED or any other neopixel driver works fine, in WLED create 2 segments with 60 each, then set the 'skip' parameter to 1 on both. One segment will be just the white lights and the other will be the RGB (BGR) lights. Challenges: - controller has proprietary firmware and uses an ARM chip (RTL8710BX) - the firmware has very basic local control (on/off and each primary color for all lights) and requires foreign cloud server access to use their ‘app’; their app (not tuya) requires location access to use -I used an other WLED controller (ESP based) w/o any drama; the chain runs off 12V rails with a 5V data signal (like any other ws2812 string); the included power supply (2A@12V) seems fine -the bulbs are spaced pretty far apart (2-3ft), so pretty dim compared to a string of christmas style 2812 LED bullets (which are usually 4” or 6” spacing). - the wire between the bulbs is too thin to hang the bulbs, they must be mounted on a supporting guide wire to hang across a span of space - the wire is too thin for the bulbs at the end to run full brightness, if you turn on the RGB’s and the WW full in each bulb the color changes along the length of the string as the voltage drop gets worse and worse - the clips on the bulbs are very stiff and brittle: its hard to get them onto a guide wire w/o breaking them as you pry them open a little - when mounted on a guide wire the bulbs hang sideways because they are very light compared to the wire - the mounting clips have a sharp edge tht digs into the guide wire when you try to slide the bulbs, it is very time consuming to mount a chain of these to a guide wire as you move each bulb (one by one) a couple of feet, then repeat over and over

Reviewing Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights H7021, RGBIC Warm White 96ft (2 Ropes of 48ft) LED Bulbs for Outdoor Decorations, WiFi Patio Lights Work with Alexa, Google, APP Control, IP65 WaterproofSuper. Fun lights for any color, or any multicolor light you might want. Seems like an infinite number of settings. High quality, with plastic bulbs so safer for families with toddlers and parties. Totally worth the price. I thought there would be a remote control, but you need to add an app to control. This was the difficult part for me. Trying not to have too many apps, and I already have apps for 2 other brands of lights. The app isn’t easy because soo many options.

I'm sorta a light freak. So when I installed these puppies, it was like I was an 8 year old on Xmas day. I was turned off that my 96 feet only had 30 actual lights? Couldn't tell how many I would get by looking at the listing. So there is one light every 3 feet. 6 feet for cord I guess. Plugged in and downloaded app and got it connected. Very easy. Go to preinstalled content and hit illumination. Pow. Bright lights for outside security. All my neighbors have lights on their deck and under it, mine are the brightest. You can actually set each and every light to a color you select, and save your design. Many pre-installed modes that twinkle. Xmas themes. Halloween too. Dance party. Reacts to music. The app let's you pick a time to turn on and off. You can select 4 times a day. I just use two, on at 7pm off at 7am. Pick any color you can imagine and any dimness. One of my favorite purchases. These are made to attach to your gutters. So easy if that is where you want them. If not, put a long screw in the wood that you are installing. Pull cord tight and wrap once around the screw to make it not sag, or sag as wished. Directions do say power adapter not water proof, so I will duct tape a lunch bag over that. Hope my pics tell you some of what it does. Got mine for 69 bucks. 2 stings, 96ft 30 lights.

LOVE my patio lights! I've had them for over a year and they are still going strong. They re easy to use, you can program them individually or choose from a bunch of presets. They have held up in Newfoundland weather !! A wonderful mothers day gift that I would recommend to anyone.

This product is super cool. It’s nice and long, almost 100 feet (30 bulbs spread over 96ft I think it was…), and the styling is nice the way the lights hang off the main cord. One of my favorite features is the fact that they are plastic bulb covers, so you don’t have to worry about hitting them together or dropping them and glass breaking, or the bulbs burning out since they are LED and last forever. The app to control them was very easy to install and connect to the lights, and it lets you control the color of each one of the 30 bulbs individually, which is the coolest feature. There are also a whole bunch of premade color/movement patterns built in. They have made themed ones for almost any occasion (Christmas, Halloween, Birthday), as well as ones to mimic places like carnivals or nighttime skylines, and things you find in nature like galaxies, sunsets, fireflies, or ocean waves. They’ve even got ones to match your mood. They are all really fun and there are too many options to list. Highly recommend and will likely purchase more for other areas. Would work great as Christmas lights wrapped around an evergreen. These will go around the deck come summer time. Got them because Costco had a set that was half the length for $60 on sale, but they had nowhere near the amount of features that this string does. I wanted to see comparables on Amazon and saw these on sale for just under $100 as the deal of the day, so pulled the trigger, and I’m SO glad I did. They are so fun, easy to use, well made, and stylish. 10/10.

Great lighting features but had some issues with shipment I initially loved the Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights. They offer vibrant colors and tons of lighting options, from carnival scenes to custom modes you can create with AI or find online—all easily controlled through the app. They're perfect for mood lighting, not for bright illumination, but they add such a unique ambiance. Unfortunately, my first shipment might have been damaged as the box looked like it had been dropped, and the lights stopped working after a few weeks. Despite that, I love the product so much, I’ll be trying them again because the value is great for what you get.

I recently installed the Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights in my backyard, and I can’t say enough good things about them! These lights have completely transformed my outdoor space, and I’m giving them a well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars for their stunning design, smart features, and overall performance. Here’s why I’m absolutely in love with them. Design and Installation The lights come in a generous length (I opted for the 48-foot version), with shatterproof bulbs that give off a warm, inviting glow. The Edison-style bulbs, paired with a sturdy black cord, add a rustic yet modern touch to my patio and garden area. Installation was a breeze—thanks to the included clips and zip ties, I was able to hang them along my fence and pergola with ease. The IP65 waterproof rating gives me peace of mind, as they’ve held up perfectly through recent rain showers here in late May 2025. Smart Features and Performance What sets these lights apart is their smart functionality. Controlled via the Govee Home app, I can customize the colors, brightness, and even create dynamic scenes to match my mood or occasion. I’ve had a blast experimenting with the 16 million color options, from soft whites for a cozy evening to vibrant reds and blues for a backyard party. The music sync feature is a highlight—pairing them with my outdoor speaker, the lights pulse to the beat, creating an immersive atmosphere that my guests can’t get enough of. They also work seamlessly with Alexa and Google Assistant, so I can turn them on with a simple voice command, which is handy when my hands are full. The brightness is impressive, with each bulb offering around 100 lumens, illuminating my space beautifully without being overpowering. They charge up during the day with their solar option (for the models that include it) and automatically turn on at dusk, lasting well into the night—perfect for late-night gatherings. Durability and Value The build quality feels solid, and the lightweight design makes them easy to adjust or reposition. After a couple of weeks of use, they show no signs of wear, even with the occasional windy day. At their price point (often discounted below $80 for the 48-foot set), they offer incredible value compared to other smart string lights on the market, which can easily cost double. The ability to connect multiple strands adds versatility for larger spaces, though I haven’t needed that yet with my setup. Final Thoughts The Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights are a dream come true for anyone looking to elevate their outdoor ambiance. I absolutely love how they combine practicality with fun, smart features, making my backyard the go-to spot for relaxation and entertainment. Whether it’s a quiet night under the stars or a lively get-together, these lights deliver every time. If you’re considering smart outdoor lighting, these are a must-have—I can’t recommend them enough! Rating: 5/5 Stars – A perfect blend of style, technology, and durability that I adore!

This review is for the 48ft Govee outdoor string lights. As mentionned by others, the lamps are great and the app works just fine (Tested on android). Simple to adjust from your phone on the go and fairly easy to use. The colors and brightness are fine, the little hooks built on each lamp base make it for an easy setup. Again, as mentionned by others just be careful to keep the plug and built in controller out of the water despite the ratings.
