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. 👍
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 !!
Yeah, I was in the exact same position as you and I think I may go Govee as well. The specs sound great for Eufy, especially with the current sale price, but looking at the actual performance I just liked Govee's smooth glow (although I do like how Lumary seemed to be brighter to cover more area). This was an excellent video. Thanks @handydadtv!
@ yep. I went ahead and went with the E22. And they look amazing !! I’ve had more people stop and ask what they are and buy them as a result !! They are super bright and have amazing features !!
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.
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 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.
I'm curious of how these white light housings hold up long term. Almost anything that is white plastic on my home yellows over time, regardless of sun exposure.
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.
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.
Great video! For the Lumary lights, how do you go from a second story eave to a first story eave? Is there an extension cord available to skip about 10-15 feet to break the lighted length up? I have 150 feet on the front of the house. 50 feet for the second story eave and 100 feet for the first.
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.
Try tru-tone led Christmas lights. If you want a long review, Technology Connections had that covered. I bought some myself and they have that perfect vintage warm glow
@@tannerfamily4152well don’t buy them then and stop wasting your time watching videos about them.. why even come here to complain about them?? Get a life dude
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.
GOVEE is definitely more popular than the other two brands, but after watching this comparison, I gotta say LUMARY has better lighting effects and brightness. Just my two cents.
@handydadtv would you ever do an extension video to that one? Maybe a part two and your unsponsored thoughts? If they did the Nanoleaf in black, I think it appears to be the winner with the track but that's why I stopped by haha. Thanks for the videos!
I did not realize they were so expensive I saw the 50 ft strand from Goveei for 99.00, I guess they are not the pro version I wonder how much of a difference there is. Isn't 500.00 plus excessive for LED lighting😮
@ I watched your review on Nanoleaf and saw that you can’t turn certain ones on, is that right? So if I want to do every other light or just the ends, govee can do that and not nanoleaf
I appreciate how each brand has its strengths, especially in terms of brightness and installation. Lumary seems to have nailed it in that department. Do you have any suggestions on this?
Excellent video. Based on your recent review of the Nanoleaf permanent outdoor lights, I went that route and have preordered a set. Having the included wire covers made the difference for me with my OCD. Fingers are crossed that the tentative mid October shipping takes place, since it would be nice to get them up before Halloween. If the Nanoleaf supply becomes a challenge, I will go the Govee pro route and install an aluminum channel with covers to hide the wiring. 👍
Nanoleaf are just like the other peel-and-sticks except they have wire covers. BHL are a completely different, professional class of product. Just think about the maintainability.
Great review... well.. side-by-side!? =D Eufy E22 100ft has been on sale at $199 since on or before prime day. Looks like it spiked up right when you checked for this video. Anyway, it's $199 again at the time of this writing... great value! Govee also has permanent outdoor lights 2, not sure how that stacks up. Lumary - 15,000 hours rated is a fraction of the others. Oops. Not that I know if the others are honest/true about that. I got myself Eufy E22 due to the value offered at $199 for 100ft. =D
Im a big govee fan. I buy everything govee. They’re truly the best. But on this review the luminary lights looked just as good as the govee or even better.
Wow I was all in on Lumary but after seeing the lack of lifetime span (only 15k hours??) I’ll definitely be going with Govee so I don’t have to change my lights out again in 3 years 😂

He didn't seem too biased to me. He left it open for one's own opinion. He didn't say Lumary was the one to choose. They have a much lower rated lifespan, and are not inexpensive.

agreed , you can't beat the price of Eufy, id chose them over the other 2.
Great job. But I wish that in your final comparison you had done a mix array so we could see how they look in "standard" christmas light configuration
They all look the same on a house. You can’t look at a house and tell which brand they used.
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.

Nanoleaf Permanent Outdoor Lights Installation

Like traditional lights can you just attach another strand to the end of another?
There is a limit to the number of strings the controller can handle.

Which one did you like most amd why didn't you compare to Nanoleaf after you showed that awesome track?
This was a sponsored video by Lumary so they chose the brands to compare.

Can you connect lights between brands meaning as an example , govee and lumary brands together
Nope

They seem to have no trouble selling them. 🤷🏻♂️
Amazing video review. Thanks for putting this out.
My pleasure!
Can you turn certain pucks on any of these brands?
All of them have this capability.
@ I watched your review on Nanoleaf and saw that you can’t turn certain ones on, is that right? So if I want to do every other light or just the ends, govee can do that and not nanoleaf
@SarahListon-c4t Nanoleaf needs to update their app to allow individual light control.

I just give the facts. You get to decide. 😉
Do you know the distance between lights? I can't seem to find that info anywhere.
I'm meant to reference the govee lights
50 cm. Around 20 inches.
I went with Eufy. I like the app, and the softer glow. And topped off with the fact that I got the deal for just $280 for 150 ft.
Good deal
Great comparison! Thank you
Glad it was helpful 👍🏻
What do I do if I need more than 200feet
Buy multiple sets and link them in the app. You’d never know the difference.

Has anyone cut the E22 mid strand to jump eaves?

I liked the lumen but does that mean Govee is better because of the 55,000 hours compared to Lumens 15,000 hours?
I don’t know how accurate those hour estimates are, but it’s a compelling difference.

I want christmas lights that give that traditional "Outline" look... I'm not the biggest fan of down-lighting that lights the house.
Check out handydad.tv/ever.
I went with Eufy because of price and they are bright on my house a 9,000. I have neighbors with Govee and they like mind better !
Glad you like them
Great video!
Thanks so much 😊
If the light only has tape on the back, taking it down can be a pain. Just saying, Lumary has a better installation design.
Without a doubt. Thanks.
Why would you buy a permanent light you don't plan on leaving up....?
@proflashrtist Because “Permanent” means “until they fail or something better is invented”.
nanoleaf from your last video. they also have great customer service.
Good choice 👍🏻
Wow I was all in on Lumary but after seeing the lack of lifetime span (only 15k hours??) I’ll definitely be going with Govee so I don’t have to change my lights out again in 3 years 😂
Good choice

We are new customers when it comes to permanent outdoor lights and we Ordered Bright Lights , they you mentioned

At 3:58, I think you meant Lumary instead of Eufy. Overall, great review!
Yup, you’re right! Missed that one in editing.
Nice choices, unfortunately we only can get the Eufy one for Australia. Govee only have very small range here but zero on the permanent lighting and Lumary does not exist. LOL Thanks for the review :)
Hi Australia! Happy summer!
Why only 15,000 hours? Did you mean 50,000 for lumary?
You’d have to ask the manufacturer.
That was my thought, I wouldn't wanna get them up there, and then have them not even have half of the life of the other brands
I just bought the Eufy E22 100ft set for $199 and the 50ft set for $119 ($318 for 150ft) on Amazon.
Good deal
Eufy has a deal right now for the 100 ft + 50 foot. Just got them, and after taxes it came to 290.
all these lights are made in china and then branded on the box. It looks like the exact same set is on Temu from for $85 for 100ft and then you can use Rakuten for another 3% back.
@ninjap323 As long as you’re okay with no support whatsoever.
You should try out the new twinkly ones there are mapping ones like there normal lights
It seems everyone is jumping on that bandwagon.
I like these, but I don't have a overhang or anything. So they would probably look a little weird without it.
Yes, this style of light is meant for soffits.
@@handydadtvI’ll probably get the H1 from Govee. I think I can make that work.
MSRP for the Lumary with only a one year warranty is insane! Sheesh!
Deep discounts this time of year.
I always thought GOVEE was the best, but LUMARY is surprisingly on par or even better in many aspects.
Thanks for the input
Glad I found this video, I was set on Eufy but after watching will be buying the govee pro!!

@handydadtv thanks for the reply but this video didn't mention outdoor permanent lights and didn't even show any twinkly lights. Just an ad for govee string lights and the govee app.
@RyeMoes I’m sure you can find one. I just tried to help.
Can't get replacement parts for Govee....expensive mistake !!😢
Yeah you should buy two kits for spare parts.
I’m really surprised that this little brand Lumary performs almost as well as Govee.
And a better installation method for sure.
Lumary was definitely the strongest brightest
Thanks for your input
They sell govee at best buy big box stores. It must be reliable. Govee is big name brand now.
Definitely the market leader
55k, 50k, vs 15k hours. Seems like Lumary is lacking! But realistically would the others really last as long as they claim.
I get a lot of complaints from people whose systems die very quickly. Rare, but it happens.
Wonderful
Thanks
So basically it boils down to govee versus lumary and I have to admit that 15,000 hours versus 50000 hours is the only reason i'm picking govee.
Sound logic.
Im thinking govee pro
Good choice
Eufy E22 for me! Govee not worth almost 3x the amount. Eufy E22 sale price of $199 for 100ft. is unbeatable.
Good deal
Govee 100ft is on Amazon right now for $199
Eufy's performance doesn't look that good, but Govee and Lumary are decent.
It was good to compare them inside and out.
Eufy customer service sucks. Returned last year and got Govee pro.
Good to know.
