Updated review: After posting this, Govee reached out and offered a full refund of the product which was greatly appreciated. At some point during my troubleshooting between the original review and their message, I must have managed to factory reset the lights and they appear to be working again. We've had good luck for at least the past 2 weeks and the kids love them. As I said before, they're great lights, albeit a bit too bright at the lowest power setting, that's a minor complaint since they belong on a tree and not attached above a bed. All the same, I didn't accept the refund but I'll be ordering a second set of these in the coming weeks. Customer service reaching out so quickly encouraged me to buy some additional Govee products so I'll also be trying their table lamp and some RGB strip lights to go with it. Absolutely recommend these to anyone wanting some unique and great quality lights for their tree or house.
Original review: I ordered these to be installed above the bottom bunk of a bunk bed. My kiddo loves them, the various scenes, etc. They're bright, maybe too bright for my use case, even at 1%, but they'd be perfect on a tree. Overall they feel like a good quality product with a well developed app, easy integration with Google Home and Amazon Alexa both. Expensive, but you get a really nice quality product for the money.
One quirk though... After updating the lights, they no longer turn off. I can adjust brightness and scenes, but they just flicker off for a quarter of a second and then kick back on. The only way to turn them off is to unplug them. I haven't gotten to a point of resetting them but I'll get there. I suspect they'll end up working fine after, or I'll have to return them. I hope that it doesn't come to that but we'll see
