Govee LED Strip Lights RGBIC, 16.4ft Bluetooth Color Changing LED Lights with Segmented App Control, Smart LED Strip Color Picking, Music Sync LED Lights for Bedroom, Living Room, Party

I bought 3 sets for my 3 kids (all boys) last Christmas (2019– it’s now June 24th, 2020). They are still going strong, they’re used almost daily, so I can tell they hold up. If I were to buy any more, I’d buy this brand specifically.My kids LOVE them! One of my son’s friends asked me what brand they were and from where I’d purchased them because he was wanted some, and this kid has everything already!My oldest often leaves the house with these still on (grrr), and I end up unplugging them if he leaves his door open (update- I started just unplugging his entire strip, and he magically doesn’t do that anymore—mom win!)—but, sometimes I don’t notice, he leaves them on for hours, and they’re fine! Needless to say, they’ve a long lifespan! They’re LED, so they don’t use much electricity, which is nice when your son leaves them on for loooonnnnnggg periods of time. They work, they’re vibrant, they’re very bright and colorful, and they do everything the description states!One put them around the perimeter of his room along where the walls & ceiling meet, one put them along the perimeter of the underside of the top bunk in his bed, and the other put them on the perimeter of the underside of his bed, so they reflect on the floor. They all look very cool. But do pay attention to the length, as none of my kids’ applications go around 100%. Although they all look quite good and lighten the entire rooms, that is something to be aware of. And if you or anyone in your household has epilepsy, use common sense and don’t buy them—I imagine that would be a big problem, although you can set them to a steady light.I can see being able to do many different things/projects with these because they’re crazy bright, have the controls on the cord, can be extended easily (without the need for additional controls), they last, the adherents haven’t failed any of them, and my kids all put them on by themselves, telling me they’re very easy to install. Like I mentioned, they adhere well, but I still recommend wiping the surface with isopropyl alcohol prior to sticking them wherever (although my kids didn’t, and they’re ok... but I still would, just to be safe and thorough). If alcohol may harm the surface, a good soap and water mix would work, as long as any residue is rinsed off completely and the surface is absolutely dry.I 100% recommend these to anyone looking for LED adhesive strips. They’re fun, the price is reasonable considering the high quality, and they do exactly what they’re meant to. I hope this helps you with your purchasing decision!!!

TLDR: These are super amazing with the scenes and how bright they are. Make sure it says Wifi if you have Alexa or Google assistant.I may have inadvertently sold my soul to Google. I have decided to make my house a smart house. It was build in the 1920, so you know it is hard to add recessed lighting of any kind. There is no overhead lighting. Plaster is not kind to my pocket. Well I started to add a different company's LED strips, which were great. I was able to impress all of my friends. I bought a new router and a Google home hub to connect everything. The LED's weren't connecting correctly. Many times they were "offline". Made some adjustments. Still had that problem. I found out that there are LED strips that can mimic the Sunrise and Sunset.These are amazing. As I was setting up my lights, I would have to turn down the brightness just so I could see the app. The lights are almost too bright. You can switch between Bright and Warm white. You can have the lights chase each other light Christmas lights. You can set up your own scenes. You can make your own colors. I see that a graphic designer made the app as it has colors associated with feeling (spring, fire, dance) The programming is pretty amazing. You can set up the lights to do different scenes at a time of day. For instance, you can have the sunrise scene go off when you would normally set your alarm. The lights will gradually brighten for the amount of time you set. If the alarm is set at 6:00 a.m. the lights will start at 5:45 and be the brightest at 6:00 a.m.Pros:- The set up is easy- Super Bright- Programmed Scene- Color Schemes- Millions of colors- Music activation- set up routines- the app is intenseCons:- no WIFI receiver (I didn't read closely enough) I will buy another model and place this one to be a sunrise in my bedroom.- The app has so much autonomy that some people will not explore all of the features.
