[@marcinmalikowski]

Hi. Do.u.know maybe why my esp 8266 all the time disconnecting? I tried to updating and sometimes its working fine but sometimes I have a message " connection is failure " and my controller is offline. Thank you

[@bro89174]

How do I change the colour to the wave like u did on the completion? (6:48 to 6:54)? I've just bought some n they've arrived now

[@evan51298]

The corner/edge pieces are a game changer. Channel diffuser companies need to put this in the market.

[@enderdragon1845]

I’ve been waiting for someone to cover this and you did it perfectly

[@christianboehnke]

I came in with "meh, more LEDs" but quickly went to "wow that is seriously cool". Diffused LED makes such a difference, I've shied away from any "permanent" install so far, but now I'm warming up to the idea. Thinking under the ceiling rather than above bottom trim though. Anyway - Another well-done video - thanks Chris!

[@bigrob029]

starting out with a fresh LED video is a great way to kick off the weekend. thank you!

[@GRJOHN360]

Another great video Chris! Well done! It would be very interesting if you make a video about one solution (Govee LED + Diffuser System) vs Muzata Diffuser+ SK6812 (like your setup) with pros and cons for us the begginers so we can choose easier. It would be awesome.

[@enoch7564]

Would you be able to get this to work with that motion sensor stair lighting?

[@termlimit]

Do they sell the corner cover pieces by themselves? This is all excellent review thank you.

[@IceRaged]

Been excitingly waiting for this review and it was so worth it! Thank you so much for making a well worked review video and covering this so well

[@Shakes_The_Clone]

Chris, do you think these are bright enough to use as a main source of overhead lighting when set to white? I have a 21x13 foot room and would install them all the way around on or near my “crown molding”. I know you mostly do ambient lighting, but am curious if you think these are bright enough to read (or vacuum 😂) by. Thanks! You rock.

[@SirMopy]

I hope we get an answer. I'm asking this myself too.

[@velvetjones8634]

They wouldn’t be bright enough to use as a main source of light.

[@TechTy]

Not with the diffuser

[@xxxBlueIncendiaxxx]

I have nearly the same set up except I used the diffusers Chris uses in a few other videos. After testing myself to see how bright they would be at their brightest setting I would say that it is adequate light to vacuum and read however it's a very cold white and I'm not sure if that would be what you would want to read by. Maybe a reading light to go along with the molding?

[@TheZenolith]

I just finished installing two of these in my TV room lol. I originally put the retaining clips the wrong way and couldn't get the covers on until I realized I needed to flip them around and it made the strip lay flat in the channel. Maybe I shouldn't do installs late at night. XD

[@Bansheeman6100]

After just finishing installed a 32' kit (2 separate rolls of the LED strip), and improperly installing LED strips, i can not express how thankful i am for the clips VS. the 3m backer on them. The clip system is so forgiving for having to change/remove strips

[@VelocityErve]

EXACTLY what i was waiting for!!! if i buy two packs, it'll be absolutely perfect for my room! cheaper to buy these that use Govee's m1 strips and Muzata's spotless ones.

[@Jensen-C]

They need to realize this as a standalone diffuser kit. I put my m1 strip on my counter before realizing I didn’t buy any diffusers. Would be nice to have the option to add diffusers to it

[@darthconnor1973]

Thanks Chris for making this video! KZbin has been mostly dark on these since they were released. I have one of these installed currently, looking for somewhere else to install the other that I purchased.

[@gwendalbriantais9072]

hi, i saw that in some videos people used a resistor to increase the data wire distance, how much do you think it can go with and without ? (using an esp32 with ws2812b leds and without a level shifter)

[@ProperContent6513]

Govee are just miles ahead of everybody else right now. Absolutely on it!

[@JoeyAlicea]

Are you able to angle it downwards 90 degrees when you hit a corner from the ceiling?

[@emalior5000]

Don't see why not. You would have to cut both the base and cover at the correct angles. The hard part will be bending the led strip 90 degrees.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

he sowed e cut in a 45 deg angle and showed an example of vertical ceiling going into a wall. isnt this what you mean @4:02

[@Jrabney4]

Could you use these with a motion detector like you did with your staircase build?

[@Rumeel12708]

Would the LED strip be better for under cabinets in a kitchen? I know the difusers make a difference but the tradk and cover look like theyll protrude from under. 🤔

[@Avarice-Zero]

It's about time!!!

[@itseddiepop]

Thanks, Im def getting these now!

[@AdrianJayeOnline]

that track is awesome, I've used non govee track and the corners are usually horrible to try and do

[@vizagblues]

does it help you to cut it side ways? (like imagine when u r installing them upwards for under cabinets etc?) and if so, did they provide any connectors etc to bend it side ways from the upward direction?

[@cheekster777]

Thank you Chris.

[@tazmaniachill]

Ideal solution for my new drop ceiling install in my kitchen, well done govee and thumbs up,for the vid 😊

[@Fusi0nss]

Can you extend the length of that remote thingy?

[@MatchaMan]

These are amazing. I noticed the RGBICW version is on the app. I’m hoping they release that soon so I can get those warm whites too!

[@Robodoc130]

Does give sell more outer cover pieces? I know they give you two but if you need four can you get extras?

[@MarkAlexanderBuchanan]

I like what you can do with these LED's. It is just a shame the diffuser comes in such short lengths. You can see all the joins

[@binhvandu3175]

Love it!!

[@alekks-j1o]

I have 30 cm more LEDs left over, can I cut them off somehow? the part where it exceeds is the final part where there is no wire connection

[@gm2543]

So how do you get nore innsers and outer corners if needed with i have 4 corners and 4 inners hmmmm of onky.comes with 2 in 2 out not that good 😢😢

[@rocketbrothers540]

Are these LED’s the same quality as the M1 strip? Also, can this kit be updated with Matter?

[@clovertx901]

Can you install them facing downward instead of facing outward?

[@firepitli2696]

@ChrisMaherDIY I'm here from your EASY Motion Activated Staircase Lighting - NO PROGRAMMING post. Simple question. How can i use/integrate the Govee Strip Light with cover system with the Aqara motion sensor set up?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

@@firepitli2696 you should be able to easily do it all through Alexa!

[@firepitli2696]

Ok so that I'm clear. I want to use the Govee lights because it seems they have a better light per meter rating at 60 pixels/meter over Aqara which seems to be 30pixels/meter and that makes a huge difference through a visible diffuser, not to add that it comes with the easy install right angle covers. They main question would be would I still need to purchase the Aqara M2 Hub, Zigbee 3.0 Hub, and Aqara P1 Motion Sensors to achieve the same results as your video or are there similar options through Amazon/Alexa to achieve the same automation?

[@rodrigomorales894]

How can i run the strip light across then downwards? Do you have a video?

[@kaislate]

I was hoping for a review of this. I wasn't sure what to search for since they don't appear to have a unique product name. I should have just come to your channel and looked. Of course you have the best review online.

[@solera2008]

Great videos as always. What is more cost effective? Buying this kit or buying the different pieces (led strips, diffusers, board to control the LEDs) from previous videos that you created? Thanks

[@jordaynerjr]

I would love to see you use these led Channels with wled lights

[@proffalken]

I was going to ask about this - they're clearly addressable, but I'm guessing they're SPI based on the 4-pin connector?

[@jordaynerjr]

@@proffalken I'm guessing so I really want them to make a truly individually addressable LED light strip where each LED itself has its own chip

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Was wondering what would look better. Im panning to add led strips in the kitchen below cabinets. Im divided between this product with diffusers or the govee rope strings.

[@ghostwharior4832]

Sorry where did you buy them outside inside corners?

[@helstone34]

when i put the snap in clips in , i cannot install the cover... somehow. and i also dont have the end caps like on your vid on 5;34 on the right the white cover that close the led difusser.

[@k1operator]

How do the white colors look to you?

[@gaugeprower]

Looks like I found my new under-cabinet lighting. I just wonder if side firing will be bright enough, or if I'll have to cut and resolder 90deg turns to fire them straight down...

[@Sharule89]

How do you do corners under cabinets? Do you fold the led strip?

[@nikolas503]

So if we have extra strips and lighting... can we buy another power supply and make another lighting display in another room?

[@equinox95]

I just bought one but haven't set up yet. I'm look at the strip to go around my window frame.

[@TheWip140]

Can these RGB LED strips be purchased separately, ready with a power supply connected? What are these cool transition effects of this light called ?

[@theuncanspan]

Is it possible to implement a sensor to them or should stick go with aqara?

[@FreyaPope]

Does anyone know if the “control Panel” if it were has to be on show? Like some people have said already, despite the actual strip looking to be a decent quality the actual profile is so big. I’m helping a friend do a cinema room in his garage and it’s just going to look awful with all the plugs and remotes on show. I was looking at putting the strip in a smaller profile like a plaster in one but then we have the problem of the strip not being self adhesive and the clips won’t fit the other profile 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@paddymcgillicuddy9181]

Anyone know the overall size of the channel including diffuser? (width & height)

[@emoney4492]

Can this be controlled through the app on the phone does it come with remote?

[@vincenzovieri3743]

Ok thats so cool! Not even nanoleaf has that… i will get that

[@LordByron013]

Can the Philips hue light strip give you the same results? Can you do multiple colors at once with hue?

[@jameskane319]

Can you inject power in the middle of the strips, so that you can power it from an outlet near the corner of a room? If you can only power them from the end, it really limits where you can put these without a lot of mod

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

I'm happy you showed this set up as I just bought these today! Erm, my order was placed before I saw this, though 😅. I'm torn between putting them on the floor or ceiling. The floor is easier, but my "office" has one wall that has a door to the main bathroom and then a door to the closet. If you cut the strip, I think you lose the ability to use whatever excess is left, right? Or...I think I've seen that the remaining amount can maybe be added to a connector and then connected with another LED strip to stretch it out? I hope so, because these thing's aren't cheap, lol. The lighting on the floor though wasn't as bright as I'd been hoping, so I might go with the ceiling. I also ordered the light-up hexagons from Govee (two of them...and those things are SUPER not cheap 😭), so hopefully those will help make things brighter. I have a few small, ambient light decor items, but they're not very bright. My goal is to get my room to be bright enough that I don't need to use the overhead light. Winter will be here before we know it and I've always hated having to turn on an overhead light in my office during work once it got darker. My next two areas to light up are some book shelves and under my desk. I'm thinking I might get the rope led light from Govee for that, and then just some simple strips as well from Govee. I might still need to add a lamp, though.

[@T-Towel]

Hopefully they will sell these tracks separately too, they look far easier to use

[@Shakes_The_Clone]

I wonder how wide the channels are. Might be good for a big window casing, if they’ll fit.

[@mdzavaid118]

Would this work with the edges of a desk?

[@paulhwrd]

What happens if you need mroe than 16 ft? Can you continue from where you left off, or will you need to order two of these with its own diffuser system?

[@dotnetdevni]

Do they have black diffusers?

[@faisalfahad6203]

I buying and fixing Done good but I need for this streep light Remote control where I get pls reply me

[@aninnecoiiles9314]

How wide is the track? I didn't think govee website says it anywhere

[@ericjohnisee]

Great review. I'm recessing these into a custom desk build so that the top is flush. Does anyone know the dimensions of the channels with the diffuser? (Thickness and width, not length) Can't seem to find this anywhere.

[@daltonmohr9327]

If we wanted to get a continuous lights cover to replace the broken up look which size and light cover would you recommend ?

[@ChlopiecAzbestowy]

Cool u got leftovers now what if I wanted to use them and I don't have a second controller ?

[@EPiQ_cR]

How do these differ from the Glide 3D?

[@Jay-oe2od]

Can I use this on my bathroom mirror to make it a vanity mirror?

[@01bigtrev]

Can we buy those clips inside? I feel like they are perfect so if over time the sticky back drops of the led strip they are there

[@TechdoLiberal]

3d print then

[@Sharule89]

What is the width of the covers? Need to know if it fits between the cabinets

[@gwilchek]

Does the Govee start to blink when powered on or automatic white or last color?

[@victorvek5227]

Would you be able to group these with M1 strips from elsewhere to work in unison?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately no. Govee software will not allow for it.

[@DaVinci_MMXM]

Hey Chris! I just got my ESP32 Board, but when I was gonna start plug everything together, I found out it was the ESP-32-S board, and the pins are different. which one should I use for data on that board?

[@AviationDirection]

Oh nice. Way easier than the other setup which I recently installed (your other setup with all separate parts)

[@vir6472]

Would yoi recommend facing these parallel to the floor or facing the ceiling?

[@CroyeerDJ]

Can I use these lights for staircase? Does govee has this option with sensor ?

[@pimpstick9988]

Question, Can you connect the end of the 5 m to the beginning of the 5 m to get a 10 m strip for this product or was that only for the Govee M1 lights?

[@danpurcell9764]

Could these be used outdoors in a Canadian winter?

[@noctiluq]

I am searching for the width and sickness of the diffuser: could you help please?

[@HHaych14]

How long are these likely to last?! As in, how long before some of the lights stop working with certain colours!

[@DINProductions]

I don't have these, but do have other govee products as well as bulbs and they have lasted me years and still going strong. No reason to think these wouldn't also hold up the same.

[@HHaych14]

@ thank you

[@rolandodiaz9073]

Hello Chris, do you know if it is possible to add an extension to Govee H619E. Thanks for your help.

[@WitheredEditzYT]

Do you think that it would look cool if you used govee glide rgbic 3D?

[@emalior5000]

What's better this govee kit or the muzata U shape channel with the M1?

[@daltonmohr9327]

Can you cut the end to use with wled like you with the desk lights ? Also I need 32 feet exactly to run around my living room. Would you do the desk lights? These? Or the wled lights you showed off on your projector screen. I'm confused on what would be the best they all look really good 😊

[@88GhostWriter88]

Can you use this on the edges of your desk?

[@Mer_2005]

Can this sync to the T2? Like the m1?

[@douglassebold213]

@ChrisMaherDIY. Question. Have you ever cut the plastic diffuser? I tried with my 12 inch miter saw and it destroyed it. The blade I used was for brass, copper, laminate, plastics, and nonferrous metals. I wanted to cut a 45 to frame around a wall. I'm baffled now. Any suggestions?

[@nursekja1]

I want to put some under a counter with no outlet in sight. How can I do that?

[@elijah7368]

Can you sync with HDMI?

[@ccgert]

Does Govee sell the Diffuser system seperately? I already have M1s

[@aceup8819]

Wow.... my first set of Govee lights was for a 65 inch TV several years ago. I think they were $13 or $14. It's crazy how much these cost now. To be fair they are more complex these days.

[@chrisj4164]

It's the old "introducing the low price to gain market share, then once we're dominating the market, inflate the prices dramatically" trick. What else would you expect. Then they can offer "generous sale prices" that are more like the price they should be. It's genius !

[@DoubleXP76]

how do you add two of these together for the total 10M 32.8FT into one controller as stated? please explain this @chrisMaherDIY. I checked the Instruction manual and got nothing

[@LikelyLagging]

They look fantastic, what’s your opinion on the cost? Just buy or wait for a sale?

[@onekeiway]

Hey Chris, thanks for this video - coming just in time for my new studio! I used your M1 video for the last home studio and also installed the DIY diffusers you suggested. Would you say these are better or on par with the M1, strictly regarding the light quality? I see not having adhesive and including the pre cut pieces may sway me toward this version, but just wanted to compare these lights with the standard M1 strip. Thanks in advance!

[@davidc-l9174]

This looks like a really great all in one solution! My only wish is that the sections were smaller (i.e., less than 6 LED/section) so they could more easily be used for something like under cabinet lighting.

[@AshLordCurry]

Is this waterproof? Would be great to use it around the bathroom mirror

[@jaredwilson6214]

Do we know if these work with WLED?

[@DblSol]

Very nice. I like the all in one option Govee provides with their products. With a little bit of DIY. Is it possible to setup 2 or 3 of these or any Govee leds back to back? Even with each having their own power source but setup to look like one continuous long strip with the animations? I want to setup diffused LEDS that run across the whole room perimeter at the very top touching the ceiling.

[@AdrianJayeOnline]

this is a very good kit, I love my govees, these are the mutts nutts

[@husseyking]

How do you get those effects at the end bro?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks for watching! Those are just some of the scenes that Govee has or you can go the DIY create your own animation to play around with other options!
