Who each one is for
The Govee Lights 2 150 is for a front around 100 to 150 ft that needs one dense run. It has 108 lights at 17 in, comes in fixed segments, and works with Alexa and Google Assistant through the Govee app.
The Enbrighten Eternity 100 is for someone who would rather not buy Govee, or who needs to cut to fit. It has 72 lights at 17 in over 100 ft, is made by Jasco, and links to about 200 ft.
The lengths differ, so the Eternity needs a linked second run to match the Lights 2 150.
The differences that matter
- Pitch. Both sit at 17 in. The Lights 2 150 has 108 lights and the Eternity has 72, because of the length.
- White. The Eternity has a dedicated, adjustable white channel. The Lights 2 family mixes its white and stops around 4000K, so the Eternity should read warmer.
- Brightness. The Lights 2 150 lists 40 lm per light. Our data has no lumen figure for the Eternity.
- Weather. The Lights 2 150 lists IP67 lights with an IP65 control box. The Eternity listing gives a temperature range of -4F to 131F, calls it weatherproof, and states ETL and NEC compliance, but prints no IP rating.
- Cutting. The Eternity is cuttable and arrives as six 16.5 ft strands. The Lights 2 150 cannot be cut. See cutting and extending.
- Mounting. The Eternity box includes mounting brackets, 3M VHB tape, screws and cord clips, along with the power supply and an extension cable.
- App. The Eternity uses a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi app with schedules and automations, plus Alexa and Google Home. The Govee Lights 2 150 listing does not claim Matter, and our data has no Matter claim for the Eternity.
Which to buy
- Longest single run, 100 to 150 ft: the Lights 2 150.

- A published IP rating you can point to: the Lights 2 150.
When to pick neither
If you want the Govee name but need cutting, the Pro 100 against the Eternity is a closer match than the Lights 2 150. If your roofline is under 100 ft, the Lights 2 100 against the Eternity saves buying spare length, and the 100 ft guide helps you decide.
