The Govee RGBIC LED Strip Lights have completely transformed the ambiance of my home, casting vibrant hues and dynamic patterns across all my windows. This 32.8ft strip of smart LED lights, controllable via Bluetooth and a handy app, has brought both color and life into my space. Here’s why I’m enamored with these lights, despite their indoor-only application.
Vibrant Colors and Smart Control:
One of the standout features of the Govee RGBIC LED Strip Lights is the ability to display multiple colors along the length simultaneously, creating gradients and lighting effects that standard LED strips can’t match. The convenience of adjusting settings and modes through the app enhances the user experience, allowing for personalized light shows that reflect my mood or the occasion.
Installation and Aesthetics:
Installing the lights around my windows was a breeze. The adhesive backing ensured a secure fit, and the flexibility of the strip allowed for easy adjustment around corners and edges. The impact was immediate, transforming mundane windows into vibrant displays that add depth and character to each room.
A Note on Outdoor Use:
The only drawback I’ve encountered with the Govee RGBIC LED Strip Lights is their limitation to indoor use. While I would love to extend this dynamic lighting to my outdoor spaces, understanding the design and safety considerations for indoor-only use is important. Nevertheless, the way these lights enhance my indoor environment has made this limitation a minor concern.
Final Thoughts:
Despite the indoor-only limitation, my love for the Govee RGBIC LED Strip Lights remains undiminished. They have become an essential element of my home’s decor, offering an unmatched level of customization and vibrancy that brightens not just my windows but my overall living experience. For anyone looking to add a splash of color and smart functionality to their indoor spaces, I cannot recommend these lights enough. They are a true testament to how innovative lighting can transform any setting into something magical.

Update: after leaving a negative review based upon my initial experience (first product worked for all of 5 minutes) the seller reached out and offered me a new one free of charge.
First off, the products looks great once it’s installed, but the installation itself is a little difficult, at least on glass. You better line it up right the first time or you’re likely to pull off the sticky backing when readjusting. Once the backing is on the glass, get ready to pull out a box cutter to get all the residue off.
Overall I am happy with my purchase primarily because of the seller and their willingness to make my prior experience better. They’re one of the good ones on Amazon.

The perfect little light strip. Works wonderfully on the back of the TV, though I did have to trim it about a foot or two. Easy to trim I didnt even need scissors. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Edit: I did not realize that the lights had a 1 year warranty. I contacted Govee via the app, and they responded and said they are sending a replacement all within 3 or 4 hours of contacting them, and it was well past normal business hours when I did so. The lights were great when they worked. But the customer service is top notch, so I’m giving them another shot. Would have been 5 stars if the first product hadn’t shorted out with basically zero contact since install.
Haven’t had these lights for a year, and already they have a short in them. The first 2-3 feet or so from the plug in side still work, but the rest are dark. I pressed my finger in on various places from the starting point of darkness, and they did come back on for a few minutes. But ultimately, they are done for.
For reference, these are running up and down the basement steps, kinda like movie theater floor path lights. The light strand is bent in various locations, and one would think that this is where the short would have occured. It is not. The short is located in the middle of a 2-3 foot straight path, underneath the highest step, at the ceiling. It’s in a location where nobody goes, as it’s one of our makeshift storage places. I can honestly say that once I put the lights in this location, they haven’t been touched since I noticed the short.
But while they worked, I really enjoyed them. It was a neat thing to see when you set the app to sync the lights to music. Didn’t use that setting very often. Probably 90% of the lifespan was set on a single color, very low luminance. Just used them to be able to walk up and down the steps at night without having to turn on my phone’s flashlight, as the main lightswitch is in an inconvenient location.

I bought 16 ft of the GOVEE RGBIC LED Strip lights for my sons twin bunk bed to illuminate the bottom bunk. I wasn’t sure whether to get RGB or RGBIC, and I’m so glad I got the RBGIC because it let’s you have more than one color going at once.
It was super easy to install, and the adhesion is strong, but not too strong if you need to make adjustments as you stick it on. I almost had enough to go all the way around the perimeter of the ‘under bunk’– I was about a foot short to make it all the way around, but it’s barely noticeable and doesn’t effect the overall effect. If I had more than 16 ft than I would have had to run a strip down the middle of the under bunk, and I think it would have been a little overwhelming since we use it during bedtime.
These lights have exceeded my expectations because of the app. I had no problem downloading the app, and syncing the lights to it. Since it’s RGBIC the app has tons of different pre-sets and you’re not locked into one solid color– you can actually customize all 16 segments depending on what you are looking for. If you’re lazy like me there’s probably over 40 different pre-sets and each one is so cool! You will find yourself playing with all the settings after you install it — it is that awesome!
These lights have replaced the need for a reading light, lamp or night light in my boys room. You can crank up the brightness for play or when it’s bedtime lower it way down so that it doesn’t bother anyone else sleeping in the room. My kids are always knocking stuff over, so eliminating the need for a standing light or some other lighting gadget has been great.
I read that you can cut it at certain spots, but it sounded tricky to try and attach the cut strips to another power source. I would advise going smaller rather than planning on cutting it. Love, love love this product!! Highly recommend!!!

I originally bought one of the 6.5′ sets to try out. I kind of had an idea on the look I wanted.
I loved everything about it that I bought 2 more, as well as this set that this review is under.
This set is the one behind my TV. The 3 smaller sets are at the desk.
1. I did read the reviews and found that the spacing of the LED’s is wider. This is true, by almost twice as much. But in my situation I could loop this 10′ string around the back of my TV twice. This is a 42″ TV hanging 3 1/2″ from the wall. The double loop around was actually enough to split the difference between the LED’s so they wound up evenly spaced. It works perfect for me. Some of the preset scenes look strange. But they are not something I use anyway. Just mentioning that in case you care.
2. This set SHOULD work plugged into your TV’s USB port. But keep in mind that when your TV is off (most TV’s), there is no power going to the USB port. So they will turn off and on with your TV. I prefer dedicated power via the power strip behind my TV. You can then have control over it with the TV off. I prefer this as I have “scenes” set up in the app for day/night.
3. The App. THE APP!!!!!!! Holy h*ll they put together a very intuitive interface with a lot of features, without a mention of your credit card.
I know…. you read somewhere else that the App is shady/intrusive/etc. because it requires Location Permissions. The reason for this is because the app connects to the lights via Bluetooth. In 2019 the Android system was redone in a way that requires ALL apps working through Bluetooth to have Location permission. It is not because of the app developer. It is because of the programming of ALL Android operating systems since 2019. Any other Permissions can be individually addressed via your Settings>App Settings screen of your phone or tablet. You can do this for all apps. But if it uses Bluetooth, Location permissions must be granted.
What I love is the “Group” function within the app. You can link the lights you want together and assign different scenes. You can set up one touch scene changes by saving them. You can create your own scenes in the DIY section. You can break it down into segments on the same string! There’s even timer functions, though I have not played with them yet.
I got my first set a few weeks ago and I’m STILL playing with the app and learning stuff when I’m bored. 🙂
Like I said, I bought one to “test it out” and should have bought all 4 sets at once.
So far the adhesion has held up really well. I’ve been keeping an eye on where I made my bends but it’s still holding. I THOROUGHLY cleaned the surface. It’s key guys! I’m talking multiple swipes with some 90% rubbing alcohol. Though I’m sure the little included swab would do the trick in a pinch. I didn’t even use it. Went with my overkill approach. Another key is to not remove the protective backing all at once before you install. Peel a bit back, get it started and pull the backing as you follow pressing firmly with your other hand. Get it CLEAN and take your time. A 10 yr old could do it.
The ones at the desk are individually plugged into a cheaper stand alone 6 port USB box for power. It gets pretty warm but that may be because I went cheap there. I don’t suspect an issue with the lights because they have been on 24/7 since install and I have never noticed a fluctuation in brightness or flickers. Not once. I needed the USB box for my particular setup but the heat is borderline concerning. Just a bit warmer than expected. So if you plan a similar setup, just something to keep in mind.
I have had no issues so I can’t comment to the Company itself or their service. But they arrived as scheduled…. Quick. Instructions are clear and easy to figure out. And for a $20 set of good quality lights, I’d say they have their $h!t together. These aren’t just some “cheap” string of LED’s. You’d expect to find at least one flaw between 4 different sets with the “cheap” guys. I will be purchasing more products from these guys in the future.
As you can see…. I give this a HUGE thumbs up! 5 Stars so far! I’ll update if I do have an issue.
If you’re reading this, there’s a reason.
BUY EM!

I used these to light the upper cabinets in my kitchen. They work perfectly most of the time but have issues with loosing preset memory once in a while. The APP is easy to use but they do not work with ALEXA.

Lights are nice. Lots of options for color schemes. Had 2 sets of identical strings on a shortcut to turn them on/off at the same time. Quit working and I haven’t figured out how to get it to work again. Probably my issue.
