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 Aaron Urena

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Overall satisfied, but worth knowing

The end result is great so overall I'm happy with it. What baffles me is that the description says there are 6 LED strips and then 5 connecting wires, but the marketing materials (including length) and even user photos give the impression that the lighting is continuous. The thing is that according to the specs you can't shorten or change the length in any way, you're basically staying with the length you have and you'll end up with a 15cm gap between each strip. You can wrap this connecting wire so that there is no gap, but then you will have to deal with a loop of wire. The PLUS is that you won't notice the gap unless you're really looking. I installed it under the kitchen cabinets and ended up wrapping some of the cabinets and again the end result is great. The other big plus is that Govee seems to match the quality of the overall package, the controller component looks and feels premium while others I've seen look pretty crappy and cheap. The motion sensor is fine, but as others have said, it turns off pretty quickly, and unless you really move in front of it and set it up accordingly, it turns off. I would also suggest an improvement where you can just turn it on and off normally. You CAN just long press to turn it on permanently, but it would be better to set the mode to either On/Off or Sensor. So overall not bad but consider what length you need because it seemed obvious to me what would be flexible and in this case it's not very flexible, for example if you want it to be just at the back of the table you will too many have and spaces BUT if it is sized to fit your situation it will work fine!

Pros
  • Dimmable: With 6 additional brightness levels, you can easily choose one for the cabinet lighting by control box. And long press the power button until the display goes off if you want the brightness to last longer.
Cons
  • Reliability
