I have been waiting MONTHS to get my hands on these babies! These Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights are the perfect solution for never needing to get up on a ladder again. Install them once and they can be very easily programmed for every holiday. They will make your house the best looking one on the block and for a fraction of the cost of professionally installed lights.

That's super cool! Thanks for making a good video show casing them! I left my LED christmas lights up all year and there are sections that are out due to crazy midwest weather during the summer lol. It will be interesting to see if they stay up during the harsh winters, I'm assuming you're in MN... it gets real cold and lots of snow.

Hi. Trying to find out how to set up using multi patterns from with in the GOVEE app for out door lights. say start 5pm with mode -Festival-Christmas and to run for 30 min and then to stop that pattern and then for the next 30 min to run with Christmas Gift light pattern with in the app and after 30 min to go to Christmas Tree pattern for 30 min then to Sled pattern for 30 min and so on and to repeat those 4 cycles every 30 minutes for the next say 6 or 8 hours like to 1am or to 2am and then would shut off. i have been searching all over KZfaq but nothing available on how to do it. Any help much appreciated

@dontburnthehousedownvideos 10 ай бұрын

I wish I could say that I had a plan..... but I didn't. I started near the power source and just went with it. I ended at the top of my house and had about 4 extra lights that I mounted out of view. Then I realized the extra strand leftover would fit perfectly underneath the overhang.

When installing under the sofit there are some ridges every few inches. How did you solve gluing them to that?

@dontburnthehousedownvideos 10 ай бұрын

I either stopped just short of the ridge or spanned the light across it. Just depends on where it was on the string.

@lindalewellen2316 9 ай бұрын

Can these be mounted on the back side of the facia instead of the soffit? Or mount them on the soffit near the facia? I don’t really want to see the bulbs when lit.

@dontburnthehousedownvideos 9 ай бұрын

You can mount them anywhere you wish as long as they are out of direct sunlight. Just bear in mind that they are designed to cast their beam downwards to splash against the house. So your results will definitely vary. If you don't want to see them at all, you might want to look into rope lights or something similar.

@markvalleys7072 9 ай бұрын

Question! If I buy the 100’ old style and eventually want to add another 50’ (to not go above the 150’ recommendation) is it easy to do so without cutting, splicing? Plug and play?

@dontburnthehousedownvideos 9 ай бұрын

Absolutely. To my knowledge, the power inserter and the controller are the same on both versions. But I believe the extensions are sold exclusively on Govee's website. You wouldn't want to buy the 100 foot kit now and then the 50 foot kit later. That would be a waste of money when you can simply buy the extensions.

@markvalleys7072 9 ай бұрын

@dontburnthehousedownvideos 11 ай бұрын

Also, the longer sections are broken into smaller sections. But the distance between lights is the same even at the end of one cord and the beginning of the next. It was just luck of the draw that I had almost the exact length I needed. At the very end, on the top right, I had 3 lights leftover. I kind of stuck them on the downspout pointing away from the street. The extension then went to the string on the bottom.

@heymapll33 9 ай бұрын

Hey man, just wondering though but do you start with plug side or opposite? and where do you plug it in?

@dontburnthehousedownvideos 9 ай бұрын

I started near the power source and worked my way to the other end.

@heymapll33 9 ай бұрын

So essentially, you started from the top and worked your way all the way to where the plug is. The trick is to work that way with these lights intead of plugging it in first then going? How would you go about it for someone new installing?@@dontburnthehousedownvideos

@dontburnthehousedownvideos 9 ай бұрын

These don't plug in in the middle, they plug in on one end. That's one of the benefits. So my advice would be to measure out you're entire run to make sure you'll have enough lights. Then plug them in to power and start hanging them, working away from the power source. The segments are a short enough length that you likely won't gave a ton of excess on your strand when you get to your end.

They're IP68 rated for waterproofing but I would be worried more about the adhesive staying alive if they're exposed to too much water or sunlight. They'll definitely work but I'm not sure for how long.

Not really. I had the ground lights all winter long and they survived just fine. Also, I have the control box and power adapter actually in my heated garage (I routed the cord through the side door.) I think those are the the most temperature sensitive parts.
