These are the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights for your house! They are bright and vibrant, smart app controlled with dazzling colors and decorations for every holiday of the year. Plus they are dimmable, which makes them great for security lights. They are durable and permanent, year-round lights. Big thanks to Govee for sponsoring this video.

I'm so glad to see whole kits like these available! I just installed permanent Christmas lights on my house last year going the DIY route and it almost cost me as much as these Govee lights. Having the Govee quality and support makes this worth it for sure! As some of the comments on their site say, it would be nice if they sold the extension cables separately. If I used these for my house, I'd need about 30' of extension - which I could do with DIY, but maybe not possible with this kit. I've got some family and friends this would probably be great for though.

@AuthenTech Жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing. I just measured for you. The power adapter + button/switch cable is approx 21 ft. And then another flat power extension cable is also included which is 12 ft. (There's your 33' extension for ya ;-)

@BenReese Жыл бұрын

@@AuthenTech Ah, ok. Distance to the first light for me could be as short as 3'. I've got a 12' front porch that I have lights on, then the 2nd story has another roof above that. So I need to go up the wall and the distance of the porch to start the next run. I'm sure there are some technical limitations to doing that though, like the 5v data wire doesn't cover that distance easily and should really have a booster in there to push it farther.

Great video - well done. I have a bunch of Govee lights in my office. I love them, they're so easy to install and use. I REALLY like the idea of installing them permanently and being able to do all kinds of different lighting shows for various holidays or using them as regular lighting. Fortunately for me, my soffit is white so these should blend into the house pretty well. For you... what about painting the cable to match your soffit? That's what I'd probably do.

I will say this, once fully bonded, VHB (Very High Bond) tape will not come off. I used to work in industrial sales and sold 3M VHB tape. I talked to their reps and they said to never put it on anything you don't want to destroy. If you put it on a cabinet and later want to remove it, you would rip the cabinet off the wall before the tape let go. They gave me a sample and two of us grabbed it with Vise Grips and couldn't pull it apart. Think about this, some semi trailers are held together with 3M VHB tape. A lot of them don't use rivets anymore.

I have a spot for both power supplies to be located inside the garage, then I will start the install with a single string of lights in one direction, I can not go in separate directions with 2 strings. I need to have one continuous run of 170 feet. How did you use power supplies on your install. Please reply, Thank you !!

You can't connect two complete 100ft sets. The max is 150ft, so you'd need the dedicated 50ft set or half of your second set.
