I installed the same lights a month ago but just the RGB. I too found the plastic clips pretty useless. I ended up using cable staples as well but the kind you can staple. I did not use adhesive. Of course I had to buy the stapler as well, but it made it very convenient. You can also add a schedule in the app without the need for a smart switch. Good job on the video 👍

Good idea about using the cable stapler. I never thought about that! I'm sure it made the job go a lot faster. How are your lights holding up so far? I wanted to use the smart plug so I can scream at my Alexa to turn them on and off 😆.

The lights are holding up pretty good so far. I do have a section I want to cover up and I got some black cable management tubing. It’s just been too cold to work outside though!

I think my best bet is to go rent a 40 foot ladder and try that route. I don't have $100's of dollars to rent a boom or scissor lift so this will ne my best shot. It will be almost impossible to hammer in the clips if I lay on the roof. The angle is just too odd. Hopefully I can find someone to hold the ladder...

I am interested in seeing how you transition from one peak to another and hiding the lights that are not being used.

@user-kb5jg5gw4i so what im planning to do to hide the leds I don't want to be seen is to cover them with white or black duct tape depending on the location so it blends in with the roof or the trim. I tried using electrical tape but it doesn't stick at all.

Bought this set of lights last year and was very impressed. They have done great up until yesterday, no app control and no remote ability to be controlled. So now they are automatically on when plugged in and only thing you can have is white. Research says it's the control box and of course it's sold out. Really considering taking them down...just a heads up ..

cool video. so when you use the silicone glue you ran a whole bead on the back side of the strip to give extra reinforcement? or just in small sections? is that glue good for outdoor use and whats the dry time on that?
@TheMoreYouMOW
@TheMoreYouMOW 7 ай бұрын
My goal was to run it the whole length but I got it as close as possible. The glue is what I used for outdoor low voltage installations at work. It didn't hold everywhere but I would say it held up 90%. Not exactly sure about dry time but it was dry by the next day and that was in Temps in the 30's.

Seriously considering/researching these lights. I'm hearing different things on programmability though. Can you pick red / white / blue chasing? red / green chasing? Orange / purple chasing? etc. Trying to hit the US holidays of course. Thanks in advance!

@TheMoreYouMOW Жыл бұрын
So the way they have it set up, you have to search for a color combo that works for your certain holiday. They don't necessarily make a "Halloween" or "Christmas" theme but they have a bunch of different colors and patterns that will work for your holiday. I've only had them for about 3 months so I haven't tried many holidays yet. They do have a green dot in red running also a red dot in white that I used for Christmas this year.

Great info - thanks! Question about having 2 separate "systems" or "zones" installed. Will the app control both at once or is each controlled separately? Just wondering how you keep all the lights / colors synced with 2 different controllers?

To be honest, I haven't had a chance to install the leds on the second story yet. From what i have heard, you can control both controllers through the app.

How did you do the right angles?
@TheMoreYouMOW
@TheMoreYouMOW 8 ай бұрын
I didn't do them sharp, just kinda bent them in a gentle swoop, kind of hard to explain. You don't want to do a sharp 90 degree angle or they will break most likely. I put a support clip about 3 inches from the center of the corner on each side if that makes any sense?
