Govee RGBIC LED Strip Lights M1 with Matter, 16.4ft WiFi LED Lights for Cabinet, TV, Bed and Gaming Desk, Smart LED Lights Work with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Assistant, Party, Home Decor

I set these lights up in my entertainment center and they look amazing. I already use Govee lights behind my TV and the two sets complement each other perfectly. The way the colors flow together makes movie nights and gaming sessions feel like a full experience. Setup was quick, the app control is smooth, and the integration with Alexa works flawlessly. The colors are vibrant, the effects are fun to play with, and they just feel like good quality. They have been running for a while without any flickering or peeling which shows they are built to last. For something this affordable, the performance and durability are outstanding. I honestly would give them more than five stars if I could. I love Govee products and will keep coming back for more.

I bought these lights because I was looking to add to a gift for my boyfriend, who is a DJ. I saw so many high rated LED light strips, but almost all of them had universally meh to bad audio response. I was looking for some specifically that do well reacting to music since my boyfriend loves to DJ. These were expensive, but offered a coupon. I Would've said they were too expensive, but they do so much. They have smart home integration so you can controll them with alexa, google, etc. Or even just directly through the Govee home app. I recommend using the app because it has so many settings and features. I love all the modes it has and you can get pretty in depth at creating your own. It doesnt have to just respond to music, it can also just be a solid color, or several, or moving lights, etc. There are so many options. I usually have it set to the Music response mode, but you can really set it to whatever you like. It only comes with about 16 feet of lights, as it says, which isnt enough to circle a whole room, but I only really wanted it on the wall where our DJ and PC stuff is, so it was fine, however you can easily extend it with another set. You dont just have to set it up on the wall though, you could do it under a bed frame, behind a tv, etc since it works for ambient purposes as well and just general lighting use. Very easy to set up and even easier to install. Feels very good and quality. Has held up super well with frequent use. The lights come with a remote looking thing, which is where the mic is, so you should make sure if you're using it for music, you should put it near the source. Dont worry about it being too loud like with loud speakers, because you can adjust the sensitivity in the app, which is great if you want to prevent it from reacting to you talking or other quiet noises. The mic is impressively sensitive, so that's great. You can also make you phone the mic if you feel the need. Can't recomend enough. Do note that these are for indoor use, though. If you're looking for outdoor, Govee does make some and they look pretty good. Very interested in getting those.

As a dedicated user of Govee products, I recently added the Govee RGBIC LED Strip Lights M1 to my smart home setup, specifically installing them under my cabinets. The experience has been outstanding. Integrating the Govee ecosystem seamlessly allows centralized control without needing multiple apps. This simplification enhances the user experience and makes managing my smart home lighting effortless. The impressive lights provide vibrant and customizable illumination that has transformed my kitchen ambiance. The installation was straightforward, and the adhesive backing ensured a secure fit under the cabinets. I appreciate the quality and reliability of Govee products, and these LED strip lights are no exception. They offer excellent value for the price, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to enhance their home lighting with innovative, user-friendly solutions.

My 4 and 2 year old could not be more excited and joyous by this product. Setup was extremely easy, and the self-adhesive backing made applying the strip alongside the inside of their bunk bed very easy. There is a big physical controller with on/off, color rotation and mode rotation buttons the girls can play with for hours. The app is also extremely easy to setup, absolutely flawless and simple, nothing technical at all. The most fun part of the app is the AI integration. You can type or even speak anything at all and it designs a pattern. My 2 year old can say, “Elsa eating a cupcake” and it will generate a blue and white sparkly display with pink and rainbow touches, all based on this sort of suggestion. It’s a toy with endless possibilities. These lights get very bright, but the app comes with an easy dimming feature. Overall the color reproduction and the closeness of these lights makes for a high quality experience. I literally do not care at all about the unboxing experience but someone spent a lot of time making it really nice. It feels like an Apple product, lots of easy instructions and simple design. 10/10, this is a very good product and it was 100% worth the investment.

First off, the actual light output and quality seems good. What is not good is the software. In theory this unit supports MATTER which is supposed to make everything seamless across platforms and to relieve the user from having to install dodgy OEM software for control. To do this MATTER devices have either a QR code or a numeric code to identify it either on the device or on the packaging. Let your device of choice (Alexa in my case) see the QR or enter the code and magic happens and the device is controllable as if it was native. Guess what? To do this with the M1 you must first install THEIR software, which MATTER was supposed to supersede, and then figure out how to query the program to get it to show you the QR and code. MATTER was supposed to eliminate the OEM software but Govee still makes its use mandatory. Adding insult to injury, I had to install the software on an old phone so that it could show the QR to my "real" phone. In case you haven't guessed I'm not too chuffed with this product and their software so I was probably overly generous giving even three stars. ADDENDUM/CORRECTION: I have learned that there is a QR code on an inconspicuous tag on the cord of the control dongle looking very much like one of your standard safety tags so an extra point for GOVEE but there is still the problem that this is not spelled out anywhere in the vague instructions AND their support person was the one who told me that I had to install and use the OEM app to get the code. Maybe the could fix all of this with some usable instructions and some training in their support department. Again, this strip does have about the best light quality and intensity I've seen from an LED strip and each LED is addressable (but it seems not using MATTER)

These Govee lights are what you want! They are super cool and work with Apple Home and Alexa, which makes it easy to control them. Setting them up was a breeze! I just installed them, connected them to the Govee app, and I was ready to go. These lights are really bright, and you can change the colors to fit your mood. There are so many colors and options! You can even make them dance with your music, which is just awesome. Govee really thought of everything! The best part is how easy they were to put up. They have strong sticky backs, so they stay in place. Plus, the package comes with clips to keep the wires neat and tidy. I’m so happy with these lights that I want to replace all my old rope lights with Govee lights! If you want cool lights that are easy to use, these are the ones for you.

These are my favorite as far as all in one solution. Although I have to look at the COB version, as it is very interesting with the crazy amount of light it gives off. With that said, this gives off lots of light as well and there are no hotspots because there are plenty of LEDs per meter. So far, I’m running one set above my cabinets in the kitchen and it looks pretty phenomenal. I found a really nice warm white along with some really classy colors to use. I will be setting it up below, standard under cabinet lighting but need to take out the current ones, then run a gap at the stove. I am debating (Direct) wiring on this Matter works very well on smart things. They did a good job and I go ahead and keep the app for this product in case I wanna fine-tune anything. I really will never get anything but RGBW (basically I want a separate white or at least tunable white LED and will never just do RGB).

I was looking to put LED strips along the wall at the ceiling of my sons room. Roughly 47’. Confused about which kit to purchase, I called Govee and was told to purchase 3 M1 kits. I installed and needed to cut a foot or so off the third strip. When I plugged them in, the third strip didn’t light up. I thought that I may have screwed up cutting but followed the directions. I called Govee and was told to send a video and explanation and they would replace the third string. I did this and got a response at 1am Texas time suggesting I go through a reset process. Then send a second video. Which I did. Again, got a response at 5 am Texas time. Since I bought three kits, I figured I would test the third string just to make sure the problem wasn’t the second string female connector. It worked! All lights lit up. So, I called Govee to explain it must be the female connector of the second string and not my cut of the third string. However, the representative told me that only two M1 strings can be connected? What????? I specifically called Govee before my purchase and gave them dimensions, use and that I needed to power with only one power source. The representative was confused and asked if the prepurchase representative or tech support mentioned the two string max. I said no. I asked for a solution saying I spent over $300.00 on a solution based upon what the Govee representative told me to buy. My request was to speak with someone now (not email an offshore rep that takes way too long) to authorize a refund of the now used but un-useful light strips and tell me what to purchase to accomplish my project. To which I was told no one had that authority. Basically, it was my problem.
