Lights 2 vs Strip 33

Govee's Lights 2 spreads 72 lights across 100 ft; the Strip 33 packs 42 into a 32 ft adhesive strip that costs a tier less. One covers a house, the other a single straight edge.

Govee

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.

Govee

Strip 33

32 FT · 42 ZONES · 9 IN SPACING · IP65

The cheapest way to get a lit line on the house. A flat adhesive strip rather than a rope, so it wants a straight edge under an overhang; IP65 means splash and rain, not standing water.

What differs	Lights 2	Strip 33	Why it matters
Budget band	Mid-range	Budget	The Strip 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	42 at 9 in	Closer pitch reads slightly more continuous from the street; wider reads as distinct points.
Addressable zones	72	42	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	IP65	The higher number survives more water. Anything under a gutter wants IP67 or better.

The differences that matter

Length: 100 ft against 32 ft. Longer is only better if the roofline needs it.
Form: the Strip 33 is a flat adhesive strip, so its listing says it wants a straight edge under an overhang. The Lights 2 is a string of lights at 17 in spacing.
Pitch: 9 in on the Strip 33 against 17 in on the Lights 2. The closer pitch reads more continuous from the street.
Weather: IP67 on the Lights 2, IP65 on the Strip 33. The listing says IP65 means splash and rain, not standing water, so anything under a gutter favours the Lights 2.
Zones: 72 against 42, and the Strip 33 is the lower cost tier.
