r/Costco on Reddit: Anyone try the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights?
October 14, 2025 -
First year Costco member. I understand that Costco's warranty policy makes them pretty particular as to what they offer for sale quality-wise. Haven't really had a reason to test that policy, but my local Costco is offering the Govee permanent outdoor lights kits. Every fall I'm tempted by permanent lights, and online reviews have been pretty mixed in past years. If Costco is offering them is that sign of better quality?
If you have installed them, what's your take on them?
Thanks.

I’ve had these for a couple years now. They’re great, and mean my house is decorated for every holiday without me having to decorate it. Then, when it’s not a holiday, they can just be reserved white lighting.

This is a photo of mine. I would consider them a somewhat difficult diy install but I love them.

I have them, they're very good. You'll probably want to install them with clips and screws not just the stick on things they give you. The app has an insane amount of customization. I bought them on Amazon prime day for a bit less than this IIRC. I hope they go on clearance 😂 One thing to remember is the non-pro ones never go completely white. The white has a purple haze to it. My wife doesn't like it, but will be better when I use it for holiday lights. Halloween is soon 😁 You can also play music and it will sync to the controller box.

r/Govee on Reddit: How well do Govee permanent outdoor lights (regular or pro) hold up?
July 29, 2024 -
I'm getting ready to install my govee permanent outdoor lights pro and I'm a bit nervous. My question is, how well do the lights hold up long term? My neighbor had some installed and they either fell down or he took them down. I don't want to use just the 3m take that comes with it so I'm looking for more secure ways to attach the lights. I've seen people 3d printing mounting brackets and have considered that. What are the recommendations for the most secure way to install the lights, and also how well are your lights holding up?

FWIW I installed mine in October. I used the 3m and the clips to screw into the soffit, it was cold when I did it and the tape worked but I wasn’t convinced it would hold. I ended up at the local Home Depot and bought more clips that were similar. I didn’t want to have to go back up and fix them, a bit of belt and suspenders approach. They haven’t moved but 1 of the 3 strings is giving me an issue, one light will work intermittently, not at all or stay on, the others are just dead. Now I have to troubleshoot that.

Do not just use the 3M sticker on the light. It’s a permanent light for a reason. Go the extra mile and grab cheap clips on Amazon to install next to each light. Mine have been up for a year. 0 issues.

I would highly recommend the pro's over these regular ones. These regular ones cannot do regular soft white light, it only does the really harsh blue white light. Also much easier to splice the pro's.

FYI someone posted you might not be able to extend this.. but I think you can. It looks like the pro Kit but without the extension cables. However in this video - Chris shows how to extend the older outdoor lights (the first version without matter support.) So you should be able to extend it like show here.. https://youtube/b2Pc0BzKIk8?si=YpN-t3CJEk7pLdv0

Lighting DESIGN is a thing. ... I have the eufy version of these ..very similar, and if you are up to task to install it, looks awesome, regardless of season. In between holidays,mine will likely be on the white mode throughout the year. If I didn't already have mine installed, would've bought this, esp given the Costco return, if you do chicken out on the install.

If you plan to keep your house in rainbow mode, it should be fine, but if you want to light in white than it'll look a bit off ...

Just bought these from Costco in Canada. I thought they were the pros because they come in a black version ( I have black soffits) but they seem to be different. Does anyone have experience with this version and know how they compare to the other two? I think they still have 2 white LEDs (4000k) and then one rgbic in the middle. They were $400CAD. I had been waiting for the Pros to go on sale in a few days on Amazon but don't know what version to get anymore.

This is what I have gathered so far: Standard RGBIC - RGB only, no white LED 26 lumens output No easy splicing White color 2 Amp adapter Elite RGBICW (RGB with 2x warm white LEDs) 40 lumens output No easy splicing White and Black color Currently only sold in Costco Pro RGBICWW (RGB with 3x warm and 3x cool white LEDs) 50 lumens output Easy Splicing White and Black color 3 Amp adapter for longer length of lights

Govee Lights Edmonton: Top Places for Affordable LED Lights
September 3, 2024 - With this surge in interest, I decided it was time to take a closer look and see if the excitement around Govee Lights really adds up to a worthwhile product. Spoiler Alert: Govee lights are the best consumer-grade permanent smart lights I’ve encountered so far. However, they still lack some features that I expect before fully endorsing them. For my review, I tested two varieties of Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights: Govee Elite Lights: Exclusive to Costco, these lights offer 150 feet of length.

r/Govee on Reddit: Outdoor permanent lights 2 vs outdoor Pro?
October 2, 2024 -
I've searched a lot and am not really finding any comparison or ability to see the similarities or differences between the two of these. On Amazon at the time of posting this, the Outdoor light 2 is $299 USD for 100 feet. The Pro is $309 USD for 100 feet. The original version is $279 USD for 100 feet. Any comparison or key differences that make a $10 price difference matter?

2’s (also called Elite via Costco): same housing and spacing as originals but they added two 4000K LEDs integrated with the RGD LED. True soft and cool white not as good as it uses RGB mixed with the 4000K to create the whites. Pros: wider spacing between lights, 3 warm white LEDs and 3 cool white LEDs integrated in each module for much truer white options. Also comes with splicing jumpers designed to let you cut the wire where needed. At that pricing, I would definitely got for pro, especially if you plan to use white lights regularly. Much easier to match your existing house light temperature if that’s important to you A lot of good comparison info in this video: https://youtu.be/LN65HudRDaw?si=-V-RaK0v78s2yGWw
