I like the Govee Pro and think it has the best value. Thanks for showing all 3.

[TrailBlazeNation]

Loved how you broke down the lighting effects. I’m already picturing these lights for Christmas—so tempting!

Excellent video. We are a huge Eufy family and I needed to see this before deciding. I had 3 of the E22 kits in my cart, and looks like I’m going with Govee !!

I have the Eufy E22. The 20" spacing is perfect for vinyl soffit where the soffit pattern repeats in the same 20" interval. I like the softness of Eufy colors and although my walls are mostly a tan brick, I find the light intensity level to be most pleasing at 75%. Since the cables and pucks only come in white, I masked the lenses and painted my wires and pucks a color close to my soffit to help camouflage them. It worked great. Just use compatible paint. Not being able to cut and splice the cables wasn't a problem for me. i did have 2 locations where my roofline changed 28" so there was an extra puck in a dead area. The app makes it easy to disable unwanted pucks so they don't wreck havoc with your patterns.

I really like the Eufy app. It was easy to schedule when lights are on and off and there are plenty preset patterns to choose from. There are 3 different patterns just for Halloween. I also have Eufy security cameras and I like that I can couple the camera's AI recognition to the lights and have different patters for known people versus strangers.

Overall, for the price, IMNHO Eufy is hard to beat.

I've got the lumary and have been happy with them. They were installed last Christmas and are still functioning great. Mine are installed with just the tape and still holding strong. 👍

I have a 200 and a 100 foot kit from Govee. I’m in the process of installing them and I have found that the lights seem to be a good quality but Govee didn’t think the mounting solution through very well. The 3M adhesive works temporarily so you certainly need the clips. I wish they had molded ears into each light for a more secure mounting option. I’ll bet the next version will have them.

This comparison is exactly what I needed! The app control and smooth transitions on one brand really stand out. Definitely considering upgrading my setup with those lights.

Got the Lumary and was really impressed with how easy it is to install. The design makes it super convenient to set up and swap out. Plus, the brightness is awesome—definitely better than the 60lm it advertises. And since I’m not really a huge smart home fan, having a separate remote is a big help for me.

[VentureCore-ds]

The comparison on brightness really stood out to me. Lumary lights feels like it’s worth a try.

1:43 Right off the bat I like the easy to install Eufy lights.
I have already purchased the Govee lights that go on the fence.

Fantastic review! I just installed the Eufy E22 4 days ago before I had a chance to see this review but I would've still gone with the Eufy mainly because of how it mounts. I've been wanting to get permanent lights for a while but never like the tape option which will fail. My roof eaves are enclosed and have perforated metal panels on the underside for ventilation. I was able to easily screw the pucks using the existing holes on the panels and use the provided anchors in areas I didn't have the metal panel. I like how the Govee can be spliced. I had to drill a hole on the side of my house for the power and had to use a 3/4" bit to get the end fittings through it. It would've been a lot smaller hole if I only had to push a wire through it without the end fittings. I do like the final results after installing it but also questioned the 90 lumens claim. They are bright enough but not 90 lumens bright. I love how you can customize it with the app. I ended up making my own pattern for Xmas. I only did the front of my house with the 50' kit but would love to wrap my entire 2 story house. I'd have to hire someone because I don't want to risk falling off the ladder.

Wow, what an engaging piece of content! One of these options might just be my next project!

[NeutralGenericUser]

It seems like the Nanoleaf is now the benchmark. I recently got their system after your review, and I love the installation and how each pick is secured by a screw behind it. I also really like that the wires are not visible with the Nanoleaf.

[WallyCarmichael]

I'm liking the GOVEE Pro for the dark cord. But prefer the others because of the attachment options.

[caryh]

Great video I like the Lumery for brightness but govee for length.

[juustjoshin]

Still holding out for ones that project more like a traditional Christmas lights. I don’t like the cheap diffused look casting shadows on the house. Once a company figures it out I’m all in.

[BennettCole]

I always thought GOVEE was the best, but LUMARY is surprisingly on par or even better in many aspects.

[rickynorman]

I spaced my Eufy lights out further to show the yard. The looks makes a difference how far you space them !

[jefflange]

Amazing video review. Thanks for putting this out.

[Cummins]

Wow. Lumary definitely looks the best!
