Permanent RGB track: what the sources say
- Govee says the total length after adding extension lights should not exceed 200ft/60m.1
- Gemstone Lights says its track lighting system is waterproof and IP67 rated.2
- Gemstone Lights cites a life expectancy of 50,000 hours, and says that with average usage of 7 hours a day the system is rated to last around 20 years.3
Verdict. It fits owners who want Christmas, game-day and Halloween from one install and will not climb a ladder every November; it disappoints if you wanted the cheapest way to light one season.
