Review on πŸ”† Govee Under Cabinet Lights: Motion Sensor LED Light Strip with Memory Function - 6pcs Adjustable Brightness and Warm White Closet Lights for Cabinet, Kitchen, Bedroom, Bookshelf by Bradley Wacks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

5 stars - without motion sensor memory

Very good quality product. Six settings from dim to full light provide the desired ambient light. Looks well made and works as advertised except for one design flaw: the motion sensor setting resets when the device is powered off. One star deduction for that. I installed them on a timer outlet so they turn on in the evenings. After 15 seconds they switched off. I didn't really want the motion sensor control and expected that feature to be disabled. The responsive Govee customer service quickly informed me that this was not possible. However, I found a way to permanently disable the motion sensor so that the light just turns on and off and the dimmer control still works (the blue light around the sensor is still lit even though the sensor is no longer connected. The photos show a previously soldered connector on the board where I ripped off the solder with the tip of a very small flat head screwdriver. The new controller will have these two pins connected by a solder joint. Simply pry off the back cover of the white controller (I put one Use a small flathead screwdriver to separate the backplate, it comes apart very easily, then locate the soldered connector shown in the photo and scrape off the solder (the piece of solder removed is the spot seen on the right edge of the first photo Replace the cap and install the power switch and dimmer switch funk continue to work, but motion detection is disabled (warranty cancellation); but since the device is so cheap, I didn't care. I bought two of these and remodeled both. They work great for me. By the way, to get a 20% discount coupon when purchasing multiple units, simply purchase each unit individually (Revain will continue to ship them together).

Pros
  • Easy to install: motion sensor LED strips with connecting wires are designed to be flexible in bending and folding around corners. Adhesives and clips not only make assembly easier, but also ensure that the components in the cabinet are firmly glued and do not fall off.
Cons
  • Empty
