Let’s talk Govee for a minute.
Whenever I get a call about installing Govee permanent outdoor lighting, I’ll be honest — I’m a little hesitant, and this picture is a big reason why.
This is the THIRD post I’ve come across THIS WEEK showing a Govee power supply that has started to burn up and failed. In each case, the power supply was mounted in a garage.
As an installer, that’s concerning. I take pride in the work I do, and the last thing I want is to install a product that could potentially create a safety hazard for a customer and their home. If something goes wrong, my name is attached to that installation, and that’s a responsibility I take seriously.
Govee is an extremely popular brand, and I understand why. Many of their products offer great features at an affordable price. But when it comes to permanent outdoor lighting, I’ve seen enough inconsistency to make me cautious.
Some customers have great experiences, while others have had issues. And when we’re talking about electrical equipment installed on someone’s home, reliability and safety have to come first.
That’s why we choose to install Minleon permanent lighting. Minleon has been around for over 20 years, bringing experience and a long-standing presence in the lighting industry. When I’m installing a permanent lighting system on someone’s home, I want to feel confident in the product I’m putting my name behind.
I’m not saying every Govee installation will have problems, and I’m not saying every product they make is bad. I’m simply saying that, as a professional installer, I have to be confident in the products I put my name behind.
