The media could not be loaded. I bought the Govee H600D series lights for my wife, who wanted to be able to control each of our recessed can LEDs. After setting them up, I feel in love with them!First of all, setup of the lights in the app is super easy. You install the lights, download the app, search your product and turn Bluetooth ON on your phone, turn on the lights and it finds them. **I will say it is a little cumbersome to set up each light one at a time, but once done, things are easy. I only had eight lights, so not too bad.Uh, lots of colors, with some kinda generic presettings called “Scenes” and a color wheel to select any color, plus a few preset solid colors. A DIY mode, but I haven’t played with that. Music mode is pretty cool, see video.A problem I ran into that others might is my light switch. I had a dual switch setup with a dimmer on one. So, the type where either switch turns the lights on and off and one switch dims them. First, I installed the lights on the unaltered switches and got lots of flickering. Researched and found out dimmers are not compatible. So googled if I could just replace a dimmer switch with a regular switch and it said I could, but when I went to swap it out, I realized it wasn’t going to work. The number of wires didn’t match what was on the new switch. Further research revealed that a dual switch setup does not use a regular switch, but instead uses “3 way” switches. So I bought a 3 way switch and put that in. It wasn’t obvious how to do it, but here’s what I did that worked for changing a 3 way dimmer switch to a 3 way switch with no dimmer:!!!IMPORTANT LIFE PRESERVING MEASURE:***FIRST: turn OFF power at circuit breaker. THEN, try to turn lights on with the light switch to verify that power is OFF.***If lights turn on, you have the wrong circuit breaker tripped. Go back to circuit breaker panel and find and trip the correct breaker. If lights DO NOT turn on, you have no power to the switch and it is safe to work on.Bare copper wire coming out of the wall socket is Ground and goes to green screw. Then, there are 3 more wires, which may be any combination of white, red, black, or brown, as far as I can tell. That doesn’t matter for these instructions, but it might be a good idea to mark the common wire with a small flap of electrical tape, just in case for future use. Remove the wire that is attached to the existing switch hole or screw marked “Common” and attach to the new switch in the same spot, “Common”. These are the only two connections that are marked. The other two wires left over are “Traveler” wires and go to the two remaining holes or screws. In my experiment, it didn’t matter which wire went to which remaining hole or screw. I DID google “what happens if you wire a 3 way switch wrong” and the results said it would simply malfunction and would need to be rewired correctly. So, no real safety issues as long as your connections are proper and your wires are in good condition.**Caution: be careful not to damage wire insulation while removing and reinserting wires into holes on the outlets.Once you have swapped the wall switch, reinserted into the wall, and secured with screws, return power to circuit by untripping the circuit breaker switch you previously turned off.Enjoy playing with your lights!Addendum:A couple of things I’ve noticed since install:Sometimes, when set a “Scene”, not all of the lights in a group respond. You must then change the Scene again and then back to the one you wanted in the first place. Not a big deal really.Bluetooth confusion:It seems only one phone can be connected to the lights at a time via Bluetooth, which is a little limiting.“Scenes” are billed as “flowing lighting effects”, but many seem to be just a single color of light.I still like the lights, even though the trade off is fun effects for reduced ease in normal use functionality. Plus, the kids think they’re really cool.

We recently purchased these because we did not install a dimmer switch for our backyard. Our friend suggested we get these and I'm so glad we did. You can name each individual bulb, add them to a room and change the color, brightness and even add a timer. The app is super user friendly, just wish you could control them all at the same time. They are functional for any space and work better than we expected. You will not regret this purchase.

The lights look great, work well, easy to install. The app sucks. You can only group 10 devices together. Not nearly as intuitive as the Hue app or devices. But, for way less money than the Hue products, I’ll cross my fingers and wait for an update to the app.

Colors are vibrant and responsive. I connected them to my google home very easily. Great design if you don’t want anything too ornamental.

Delivered same day! Great value and worked perfectly with my ikea lamp. Was able to connect with all other bulbs and sync them up.

Govee makes great products their whites have gotten better on their lights. Connectivity is still not as stable as Phillips Hue but dang the trade off on price makes it worth it. So I recommend if you need a solid product with good app controls

Upgraded my tv room lights with these smart bulbs. Aside from having to swap out the dimmer switch for a regular switch, the install was a piece of cake. Add the lights from the app, create a group, and connect to Google. They're nice and bright, and the colors are really good.

I have about 50 govee products so I'm obviously a huge fan but eeeehhh I'd call these a rare miss. They are in some floorlights I have and they are really underpowered and dim especially with color. I have them at max setting an they barely cast color 20% up a standard 10ft wall, bit of a joke.
