Let me tell you this isn't my first LED strip purchase, and probably wont be my last. From here on out though, I will only go with govee. These are not just any ordinary LED strips. Upon unboxing of the product you realize the difference in the quality of the strips. Although these aren't as subtle as others I have purchased, but they are of the highest quality. They are a bit bulky only due to the fact they have a clear protecting covering that protects them from several different elements including water. They are water resistant except the remote controller attached to the end of the strip. Something to keep in kind when or if installing outdoors. They have built in Ic chips that let's you customize the settings within the govee home app, available in your respective app store. You can customize the patterns, which they have many to choose from, or if you don't like any of the presets built in you can customize your own settings to your liking. Everything from the patterns, to the colors, to even the brightness... And man, let me tell you, these strips provide beautiful rich colors. I have the brightness set at 1% and they are still brighter than other brand LED strips I have installed in my room. If you don't want to install the govee app you can use the attached remote to cycle through the preset colors and modes although you wont get the customization features. Now, all this is great and welcomed but this isn't the deal breaker. What did it for me was the customer service. One of the strips turned out to be faulty and stopped working so I contacted customer service. They were wonderful and nothing but helpful, (thank you claire). They promptly sent out a replacement, and while I was expecting to receive a replacement strip they went above and beyond and replaced the whole product! It's hard to find great customer service nowadays but govee blew me away. I recommend if you have any issues with your product, don't reach out to them through Amazon, use the govee app and contact them through there. They will send a replacement through Amazon though and I recieved it in just a couple of days! If you are looking for high quality LED strips with lots if features that goes hand in hand with 5 star customer service, look no further, Govee is here for you. I hope you all enjoy your product as much as I enjoy mine. Thank you Govee!
I have attached a video, the led strips above are regular LED strips, and the ones below towards the floor are the Govee strips. You can tell the difference but unfortunately videos and pictures don't do justice. You just have to see for yourself!
