I have a bunch of hue lights (that I've bought at reasonable sale prices over the years) and a few other brand outlets and lights. The Hue ones have been FLAWLESS and never given me issue. They work great with Alexa and Apple HomeKit.
They cost more than others but are definitely worth it.

I think you need to buy something else, right?
I would highly recommend the Wyze 16' Light Strip over this Hue 9' light strip any day of the week. Even before you start comparing the $20 price tag.
I can only speak from my experience, but in the years I've been using Hue I haven't had one issue.
Never had that issue with govee, or 2 other companies I have around the house. But the others aren't nearly as reliable.

I'm in the process of dumping all my stuff after they withheld security vulnerabilities from consumers, lied about what was included, lied about no monthly fees, and stopped supporting sense devices about a year after release, and even when customers found the flaw in the V1 sense devices, they refused to do anything to help.
Wyze is garbage, and their shotgun approach to regular release dates of non- IOT devices shows it's just a money grab on cheap devices with nothing to support any of it.
I have a bookshelf, 3 to be exact each with about 5 shelves
I use it for bourbon, not books
I'd love to be able to light up the shelves. However how would I be able to do so given there are 5 shelves and no way to reach one to the next and the 3 bookshelves themselves while adjacent to each other and screwed in only have minor openings between each other for a small wire at best.
Suggestions?

I prefer Philips/Signify for all of my smart lighting, but I prefer Govee warm white for "non -smart" applications where cutting is involved.

Complain or not, they're simply not worth it in terms of value. If this was the price at 20ft, then I'd consider it.
And no matter how good they are, it can't be a 300%-500% value to equal the price difference.
I ordered a 9ft just to see the hubbub

I was actually in the market for a couple more hue strips, so the timing was perfect.
do we need to apply any coupon
pass.

Cut the strips to length (do not stick them up yet). Connecter [amazon.com] with free wire to the strip, free wire through the hole. Do that for each shelf.
Run a length of the low voltage wire up the back side of the unit. Add in one of these splicers [amazon.com]for each shelf with thr main wire running up through each splicer. Don't really need one for the top shelf. I just shrink wrapped the top shelf connector.
At the bottom the wire run connects to your switch, dimmer, smart module or whatever that plugs into the wall. Test the setup. When you know it works, then adhere the strips to the underside of the shelf. Can staple gun the wiring on the back to clean it up, and I used a command strip to mount the dimmer.
If there are shelves around eye level where you see the individual lights, just hit Lowes or HD and buy whatever thin wood strip that matches the color, cut to length and place it just in front of the light strip. Doesn't take much.
If you look up the splices above, you'll probably see recommendations for various connectors. Buy in bulk because once you do one project, doing future ones get easier.
I did lighting across the back of my headboard. Next up is roughly outlining the bureau mirror. My headboard lights are smart as is my bed table light so I just tell Google to turn on/off the bedroom lights.
