Customer Review

Govee has honestly impressed the heck out of me! I had been eyeing this brand for a long while, had their lights in my wishlist for ages, reading updated reviews, etc. We were gifted a set of RGB "smart bulbs" by another brand. Those were a royal nightmare, and let's just say.. They did Not want to stay.. Cynced. It was an absolute headache every day we had those!
We finally took a chance and got these, and I was hesitant that we would have the same issues with Govee that we were having with the other brand. However, let me just say... These lights are a dream! An absolute dream! There is no fuss, no muss, and so far they have stayed working beautifully with Alexa and from the app!
The set up was straight forward and super easy. I did run into a snag on Alexa's end, where even when I removed the old brand, they had readded themselves, somehow. So I was having a lot fuss with "The lights not wanting to work." It took some figuring out what the hang up was, because I named the lights the same as what the old brand lights were. Of course it won't work if you don't even have the old lights screwed in, and you are yelling at Alexa to turn the dang lights on.
I have seen complaints about the app, but honestly.. I very much prefer it compared to the last brand's that we had to fight with on the regular. The Govee app is much more responsive, easier to customize your lighting, and has way more features.. It just works and runs much better, over all! I have managed to get the colors yellow and others to show up on the bulbs that some reviews said they struggled with. You have to really play around with the settings to get a wide range of colors available at your finger tips! Compared to my basic RGB led kitchen cabinet lights, I can get by far more range with the rainbow of colors on these light bulbs!
The only downside I have run into? We have an older model 3 bulb ceiling fan in our dining room, to which I set up only one in. It does cast a bit of a shadow in some areas so one bulb is not enough. But that is unfortunately a downfall of having an older fan that needs replacing in the 90's, lol. I also wish Govee offered a slightly smaller size of these. The bedroom ceiling fans take the smaller a19 style, so when I tried to put these in, I was unable to reattach the light cover without it hitting the bulb too much.
We have had these for a little while now, and they have not disappointed! If Govee keeps providing great products and any customer service, if it is ever needed, I will definitely be purchasing other Govee products that I have saved in my wishlist, as well!!!
