Can these lights stay up all year?

Yes, they are designed as permanent outdoor lights and are meant to be mounted and left in place. Check that the mounting surface is clean and dry, and add clips or screws where adhesive alone is weak.

Do I need the Govee app to use them?

You need the Govee Home app for setup, scenes and scheduling. After setup you can also use Alexa or Google Assistant for basic on/off, brightness and color commands.

How much coverage does 100 ft give?

Plan on roughly 100 ft of roofline or eave, minus the length used for routing to power. Measure your run and allow extra for corners and the path to an outlet.

Are they weatherproof?

They are built for outdoor use, but the power adapter and connections should stay sheltered. Seal any exposed connectors and keep the adapter out of standing water.

Can I cut or extend the string?

The run is fixed at 100 ft and is not designed to be cut. Plan the layout around the full length rather than trimming it.

How do they compare with pro-installed permanent lighting?

They offer similar color and scene effects for a DIY install. Pro systems handle routing and weatherproofing for you, while this kit puts that work and any repairs on the owner.

Our take on the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights (100 ft)

Govee's Permanent Outdoor Lights are a 100 ft string of RGBIC LEDs meant to be mounted under eaves and left up year-round, replacing seasonal string lights. Each LED is individually addressable, so the app can run gradients, chases and 100 preset scenes across 16 million colors, and control works through the Govee Home app, Alexa and Google Assistant. The set is aimed at homeowners who want holiday and accent lighting without climbing a ladder twice a year. Against cheaper dumb string lights it offers far more effects and scheduling; against pro-installed permanent systems it is a DIY kit, so mounting, routing and weatherproofing are on you.
