Alexa LED Strip Lights [Energy Class A++]

Absolutely love this product, the adhesion is good but not amazing, be sure that your surface is smooth really and it'll work great, my product originally broke, if you like the item then don't return it, instead either contact the people on the app through rapid replacement or get in touch with the people who send you an email asking how the product is, cos this product has amazing customer service, they sent me out a free replacement and works brilliantly cannot fault the makers of the productMore on the actual product, it's great, has plenty of simple colours the music mode is good although i wish I could ask Google or alexa to activate that mode instead of using the switch or the actual app but still it's great, the colours start from the very centre of the strip, 150 lights in total so count 75 from one end and that is where the centre is, measure carefully, the music mode is the best mode the microphone is very sensitive i would advise placing the switch near your speakers for your music or TV as you don't want it to pickup even the smallest conversation to ruin the ambiance but still really good, id rather it be sensitive than not, I think the best thing throughout my whole experience has got to be their customer service very helpful people, that's about it I think

These are seriously good lights, LIFX are in trouble with these on the market.Only thing to complaint is the strip is advertised as not cuttable but that is not true.Like any other led strip it has the 3 gold lines every 10cm or so where you can cut it to size and it works as normal.* also you can reconnect the lights (as shown in picture) all i did was get a normal 4 pin led connector and remove one of the end wires so there is only 3 wires left, the govee strip was not quite wide enough so i bent the connectors in the plastic housing to match the govee strip and closed it up with the strip working as it should in all areas.I think the seller tells people that it can not be cut and reconnected because in therory you could cut a long strip into multiple pieces, add a cheap 12v led transformer on each piece and it will all be controlled by the same app / first light, but this would be really bad for govee business and we would be left with only the expensive alternatives.* Please do not wire up these lights how i did unless you are confident with electrics, if you got the strips the wrong way around it could be a fire risk, but by all means anyone can cut along the gold lines (if nit in a high humidity area / outside.

The media could not be loaded.  This is the second time I’ve purchased smart LED lights off Amazon. The first was a couple of years ago, which were just RGB. Technology has certainly advanced since then. The Govee dreamcolour strip allows multiple colours to feature at the same time which makes for an impressive show.I will point out this is limited to Bluetooth functionality, but this is a limitation of Alexa, not the device, maybe this will be improved in the future.I will point out the device illuminates from the centre of the strip so measured this and mounted this at the top centre of my tv and then stuck down from there.This device is incredibly bright and appears really well made.Edit: 20/11/2019 - I've removed 1 star, for now, this is due to the fact Govee (and their app) doesn't support IFTTT. I did, however, reach out to them for feedback and they've advise they will be on the platform next year (2020.)IFTTT is a free, web-based service that allows you to connect your apps to each other from various devices so they talk to each other and cause automated actions.IFTTT stands for "If This Then That," where "This" represents a primary app and "That" represents a secondary connected app. When an action takes place on the primary app, the secondary connected app is automatically triggered to also take some sort of action.A much-needed function of any smart home enthusiast.

The media could not be loaded.  We were looking for some accent lighting for our extension but also wanted something that worked with our buy in to Alexa and ideally we could have a bit of a disco for the kids.Took a bit of a punt on these as they were a sensible price and offered everything we needed. And we haven't been disappointed. THe video shows them set out in the kitchen before install (sorry privacy). This was done in a dark room with lights off, and these lights can be really bright to fill the room.The sound reactive modes work really well. Various modes pules or scan based on the beat and music playing. Love this mode as do the kids. The steady lighting is also good, with subtlety and an incredible array of colour options.Alex integration works well and easy to setup.The lights come with various sticky pads and alcohol wipe, however I used some normal kids wipes first to clean up my picture rails. They've stuck down really well so far. Corners can be a bit tricky to curve around but a bit of fiddling and they were hidden quite well if you didn't know they were there.

Updated review: I've had these strip lights for 6 months now, which puts me into a position of writing a credible review.These lights, for the price, are the best on the market and provide tremendous value for quality and functionality.Installation and set up is easy and seamless and the strip has strong adhesive which won't fall off or move.The range of programming and light combinations (scenes) work very well for all moods and environments and everything synchs well with Alexa voice commands.The Govee app is easy to use and well designed and with a whole control panel of functions. Govee also support their products with a customer support team who reply and assist to emails in a very fast and efficient manner.I would definitely recommend this strip light and Govee products, simply for the quality, brand reputation and support provided.
