Govee Strip Light 2 Pro review
RGB LED lightstrips have gone from niche gamer accessories to mainstays of modern housing decor.

Plus, I had some 4 pin connectors on hand, so I cut the strip a few times at pin points to try extending it. There's a translucent plastic sealing over the front of the strip so I had to pull that back to
