There are plenty of ways to jazz up your yard.. from plants and trees to questionable lawn decor. But I think one of the best and most versatile is sometimes the most overlooked… And that's Lighting. And when you can add Smart to the lighting so that your lights can change colors, and improve safety and security, all the better. Of the newest ones to cross my threshold is the Govee Triad Flood Light. In this review I will try the light out here in my yard. I'll talk about the assembly and the set up and installation, brightness and special features, and I'll wrap things up with the pros and the cons and let you know if I think I can recommend this large format outdoor light for you.

What is the Govee Triad Flood Light?
The Govee Outdoor Triad Flood Light is an AC-powered floodlight; is a souped-up version of the original Govee RGBIC Flood Lights. The original Govee flood lights came in packs where you can get a bundle of two, four, or six lights and you can position them separately as long as you can connect them all to the control box. With the Govee Triad Flood lights, you get a triple light setup out of the box as a single unit. The unit features a big, bright flood light in the middle flanked by two identical flood lights attached by strong hinges.
What’s in the Box?
Inside the box, you get the Govee Triad Flood Light unit itself along with a pair of stakes and hex key for adjustment. You also get a control box which you connect to the lights and a power adapter to connect the control box to a power source. Govee included both a quick start guide and user manual as well.
This light is probably bigger than you are expecting. It measures about 2 feet across and just under a foot tall with the stakes included. Based on size alone this should be a powerful light that can illuminate much larger areas than some other lighting options.
These flood lights are not your average lights you find in AliExpress or Temu; the Govee Outdoor Triad Flood Lights feel and heavy and built like a tank. The body is made of aluminum and the hinges feel rock solid. To adjust the left and right light panels horizontally, you must loosen the hinge using the included hex key and retighten to lock them to your preferred position.
Set up & Installation
With the lights boasting IP66 weather resistance (-4°F to 113°F operating temperature range) and the control box having IP67 protection, you can confidently place these lights outdoor without worrying about any harsh elements. I am installing these during the summer season in Calgary, so while I won't be able to evaluate yet what harsher winter weather and snow does to them, I will have to follow that up after a season or two.
Ground installation is easy as you don’t need any extra tools. Just insert the top screw part of the stake in one of the holes and position it to your liking. Then take the wind-up screw piece and tighten the screw to secure the stake in place. Repeat those steps with the other stake and push the unit firmly into the ground.
If you don’t mind a bit of extra work, you can wall mount the lights as well.
Finally, adjust the side of the hinges to your desired angle. You can adjust the hinge in either direction up to 90 degrees. Then you have some limited adjustability for the side flood lights.
Next, it’s time to get them connected to your phone for remote control and the fun stuff.
App Features
If you have other Govee lights in your home, you don’t need to add any extra app because it uses the same Govee app as other lights. Setting up and pairing Govee lights to your phone takes a minute; just go into the app and choose to add a light, and your triad floodlight should appear in the list. It takes just a couple of taps to connect it and then you're ready to go, as I was during my installation.
But even as a standalone product, the Govee Outdoor Triad Flood Lights offers plenty of flexibility.
