Lights 2 vs Neon 33

Govee's Lights 2 is a dotted run of 72 lights over 100 ft; the Neon 33 is a continuous rope of only 32 ft. The choice is mostly between points of light and a drawn line, and between a long run and a short one.

Lights 2

100 FT · 72 ZONES · 17 IN SPACING · IP67

The value kit. 72 RGBWIC lights at 417 mm, 40 lm each. Warm white tops out at 4000K, so it reads a little cooler than the Pro.

Neon 33

32 FT · 96 ZONES · 4 IN SPACING · IP67

A continuous flexible neon rope rather than points of light: it reads as a drawn line, which is why it suits a roof edge, a porch ceiling or a railing where a dotted run would look like a string. RGBIC, so colour changes along its length.

What differs	Lights 2	Neon 33	Why it matters
Budget band	Mid-range	Budget	The Neon 33 is the lower tier of the two. We print neither number; the buttons above open the live listings.
Length	100 ft	32 ft	Longer is only better if the roofline needs it. The calculator says which.
Lights, pitch	72 at 17 in	96 at 4 in	Closer pitch reads slightly more continuous from the street; wider reads as distinct points.
Addressable zones	72	96	A zone is the smallest thing the app can colour on its own. Alternating schemes need one per light.
Per light	40 lm	not stated	Brightness per point. More points at fewer lumens can add up to the same total.
Weather rating	IP67	IP67	Identical.

The differences that matter

Look: the Lights 2 spaces its lights 17 in apart, so they read as distinct points. The Neon 33 has 96 zones at 4 in, and its listing describes a drawn line rather than a string.
Length: 100 ft against 32 ft. The Neon 33 suits a roof edge, porch ceiling or railing; a full roofline needs the longer kit.
Zones: 72 against 96. The Neon 33 has more independently coloured sections despite being under a third of the length.
Brightness: the Lights 2 states 40 lm per light. The Neon 33 states no per-light figure, so the two cannot be compared on output.
Cost: the Neon 33 is the lower tier of the two. Both are rated IP67.
