WiFi LED Strip Light 5m, Smart RGB Strip, App Control, Works with Alexa and Google Assistant, Music Sync, LED Lights for Bedroom, TV, Party

I installed this Govee 5m LED strip behind my sofa to create an uplighting effect, and it dramatically improved the atmosphere in the room. The light spread is even and soft, perfect for evening and accent lighting without being harsh. ✅ What stands out • Simple Alexa + WiFi setup – Connected quickly to my WiFi and integrated with Alexa and the Govee app without issues. • Responsive app control – Brightness, colors, and scene changes are instant via the app or voice commands. • Strong brightness for indirect lighting – More than enough light for decorative use behind furniture. • Good quality colors – The shades look rich and not washed out. ❌ Things to know before you install • Adhesive isn’t forgiving – Once you stick it down, removing and repositioning weakens the adhesive. • Plan before peeling – Do a dry run and mark the route first. • Clean the surface – Best results on smooth, dust-free walls or furniture. 🔍 Usage experience The strip reconnects automatically to WiFi after power cuts and hasn’t dropped connection so far. Alexa commands work reliably, and the app scheduling is useful for daily automation. ✅ Should you buy it? Buy it if you want smart ambient lighting that just works and integrates well with Alexa. Skip it if you plan to move or reposition the strip often. ✔ Overall: Great value smart LED strip with excellent app control. Install carefully and you’ll love the result.

LED Review This review applies to the Govee 5-metre RGB (multi-coloured) LED strip with Alexa/Google home capability, plus remote control via the Govee Home app. In the box you’ll find 1 x 5mtr rolled LED strip, 1 x white power supply, 1 x white LED controller with 1 x Strip connector, along with basic Installation Instructions. Everything looks to be of good quality. This kit Does Not include a handheld remote control – everything is done through the Govee App. This set has been installed in a converted loft which my son uses as his bedroom. I had already worked out where the strips were going to be located and installed a dedicated 13amp socket close by. The power supply has an approx. 100cm lead and the LED controller an approx. 50cm lead. So, you need to ensure you have a 13amp socket within 150cm of where you want to locate the start of the strip. As I needed to split the LED strip into two separate strips, I also used a splitter (purchased from Amazon) to connect the two strips to one controller. The LED strip is quite thin, so needs to be handled carefully – this isn’t a negative statement, just an observation. Installation was quite straightforward. After rolling out the strip and cutting to length, I began sticking it down, starting from the end closest to the power supply. I found it best to reveal approx. 2 inches of sticky tape at a time and use a single finger to carefully apply pressure to the strip, avoiding the electrical components. The adhesive felt strong to the touch and has bonded with the painted wooden beam very well. It’s imperative that the area has been cleaned and prepared prior to sticking (I used strong alcohol wipes and a soft cloth to remove any excess moisture. Once installed I then connected the strip to the controller. I found the weight of the connector was enough to slowly start pulling the strip away from the beam. Therefore, I used some double-sided tape to also stick the connector to the beam. When you turn everything on for first time, the LED strip flashes through several colours. There is also a button on the controller that lets you scroll through the main RGB colours. To get full control of the LED stripes, you need to download the Govee Home app from the appropriate app store. The app requires you to create an account and needs location permissions to work. Once registered, you then connect to the LED controller. This can be done by either WiFi (2.4g only though - there is no 5g WiFi connectivity) or Bluetooth. The instruction booklet gives clear instructions on how to connect. For some reason you get a wider range of controllers & effects when connected via Bluetooth. I was very surprised at the Govee app’s comprehensive functionality. As well at the obvious single colour & brightness options, there is also a full spectrum colour wheel. Unfortunately, dragging your finger around the colour wheel doesn’t automatically change the LED colours. You can only tap on the colour you want & then the LED’s will change. The app has a vast range of different ‘scenes’ that you can choose. You can also choose scenes with an accompanying soundtrack eg. Thunderstorm, running water, campfire, etc. The ‘Rainbow’ scene was used for the video demo. Overall, I am very impressed with the whole kit – very straight forward to install with plug & play simplicity. It would’ve been nice to include a handheld remote control, but the impressive functionality of the app easily makes up for this small omission. For a stress free and successful installation, I’d definitely recommend planning things out before hand, make sure you got access to a 13amp socket, clean the surfaces thoroughly and just take your time when sticking down the strip. I had to reduce the LED brightness down to around 40% for my photo’s. Any higher and the brightness was too overpowering for the camera. Update 25/10/21: I have installed a second set in the same room. Using the 'Same Device' option in the 'Smarts' section of the Govee app I was able to sync & link both controllers so they work in tandem. The short video demonstrates the 'Rainbow' & 'Fire' scenes from within the app. I also managed to connect both controllers to Alexa. Once both controllers were added to the same group, they would both respond at the same time to the usual voice commands. However, I did find that you could only select single colours via alexa. There is no facility to activate multicolour sequences in the same way as the 'scenes' section of the Govee app.

These lights are great. I've had them for a year or 2 now, and they are still going strong. Very easy to set up no other items need to keep them in place. In the time i've had them not once have they slipped out of place or fallen down. Took me minutes to set up the entire thing. Only recently have a couple of the lights stopped working properly but I believe it is due to a fault of my own. The price is fantastic and the app is super easy and simple. I recommend a lot especially if your not looking to spend a ridiculous amount on LEDs.

Uno de los mejores productos que he podido comprar. Tal cual y como lo quería. Cambia de luces en modo sonido, se le pueden colocar varias escenas de luces a través de su aplicación y su integración con Alexa es fenomenal. La instalación es fácil si vas directo al punto, tuve que dar varias vueltas para poder instalar con Efamily que es el que uso para mis dispositivos Smart y también trate de usar el Smart Life y nada, se me complicó el asunto. Les recomiendo que vayan directo a descargar la aplicación de Govee Home, y después que tengan la tira sincronizada (con el nombre de como quiere que se llamen las luces), ahi mismo en la aplicación están las indicaciones para conectar con alexa. Hay que ir hasta la aplicación de alexa y descargar el Skill de Goove Home, darle permiso y luego buscar el dispositivo.

اذا حطيت لون احمر يطلع لي لون ثاني غير الاحمر بعد خمسه ايام اذا ضغطت ايقاف التشغيل يتحول للاحمر ولابد افصله من الكهرب لايستحق الشراء ابد

Around 2 weeks use and it already broke. Light colors are a bit strange too, they don’t match the color it’s supposed to match. The warm white for exemplo look white white.

Borde framgå att produkten inte är anpassad till eluttagen i Sverige, kontakten är UK standard. Löste sig ändå efter lite strul med adapter.

Highly recommend. Love the app too
