Awesome block of instruction brother. Liked and Subscribed! Wiring shop tomorrow. Love the connector tools you introduced, never seen that, will stop by lowes and look for them as well.

Wow I was all in on Lumary but after seeing the lack of lifetime span (only 15k hours??) I’ll definitely be going with Govee so I don’t have to change my lights out again in 3 years 😂

Sorry if this is obvious but where did the third wire for the pigtail come from? And when bonding the copper wires, when do you stop the bonding and what happens to the remainder that doesn’t come out of the nut hole? Thanks! Great video overall.

I did that before my house burned down I wonder if that’s what caused it.

Beautiful ❤❤❤

Be careful of how the wiring is protected. If there's any sort of fire insurance may refuse to cover it.

excellent side by side comparison of both units at the end.

Your v clever❤

Lights will burn out. Can you fix it without removing the string?

Ugh batteries

Thanks for your very detailed videos. What if i want to replace my existing switch (light only) with a switch and electric outlet in the same box (second example in this video), but i dont have a ground wire in the box? Also, what seems to be the neutral wire is just running in the box but not currently connected to the switch?

Thank you for the review. I have been wanting to get these lights and with the deep discount after Christmas I just pulled the trigger on the govee 2 in 150 feet. I am an animated Christmas light guy and am very familiar with cutting wires and soldering thus i bought the gen 2. Really looking forward to having these on the house all year.

Thanks dad! 🙂👍

Love the idea and hack. I have the means to do it, but I’d like to see a little more detail and a little slower.

great video

This is also helpful because every year we put our decorations up in the attic for 11 months, and through a whole season of hot weather the batteries usually have leaked or died by the time we get them out next year.

Good vid. I knew this could be done, but big thanks for showing it so clearly.

This video has to be by far the most helpful one

I need to do this exact same thing to add a box to my ceiling for my garage door opener. What wire is that you are using? Thanks for making and sharing this video.

But now you are limited to using them by an outlet.

Great man

Thank you for the knowledge

Where is the battery? Does it need a special charger? How long does it take to give it a full charge? It cant get wet?? If I missed any of this information while fast forwarding through the mowing part, please let me know. What is the cost of a new battery?

Wait until his primary heat goes out and he realizes that "fireplace" is useless when it comes to generating any real heat. You'd might as well have a fireplace screensaver on your TV.

very helpful video, i think i'm ready to tackle this, first step is getting the replacement igniter and also confirming that is in fact my issue

Great work. I have found my peace with rechargeable Eneloop batteries. 21 years ago (!!!) I bought 48 AA and 16 AAA cells. With a storage box and 8-way charger. (All together it cost about $200) Eneloops do not discharge, the whole family has got used to it, puts the empty batteries in the charger, the charged ones in the box and I have not bought such a single AA/AAA cell for over two decades! With all the children's toys the battery consumption is extremely high, I would definitely pay $10 a week for disposable batteries. In 21 years I have easily saved $5000.

LMAO,Lol. Sorry, the same thing would probably happen to me ( sticky back stuck, dropping screw bit,etc), 25ft off the ground,lol! I am very handy too, but some things give anyone grief. I have been looking for a permanent solution for lights for some time now. Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely genius work

Thank you

Just a question.. could you attach the ground wires and use a ground wire nut instead of the wago as well? Thanks great video

I just did it and it worked. Thank you for the video!

0:21 his midwestern accent makes it sound like he said “fleshlights” and while I know those don’t need batteries I can’t shake how hilarious this is

These might be great if you live in a town or city where there are no animals are allowed to be walking around at night, but if you live in the country or a town or city were dogs, cats and all types of animals are moving all around at night, you're not going to get much sleep. 🤣

Thank you. Very helpful and easy to follow! Very much appreciated!

I have a setup exactly like your demonstrated. Wired as per your instructions, works perfectly. I have two kasa switches, yet without a separate neutral in the far box, I had to use one smart, one dumb switch. all connected to Alexa, another honey do task done.

I just did it. It worked! I mounted my flat screen tv above the fireplace and needed an outlet to hide the cable. The video showed me how to add it from an existing outlet.

Nifty. Solid idea…

Taking it one step further, you can now automate them with a Wi-Fi plug! Great video!

If you don’t have the skills or tools to do this, there are commercial alternatives: handydad.tv/a4h7

Did he say "toys and flesh lights"?

I would agree with staying away from Genie products! Their customer service is awful in that their English is unintelligible and liberally sprinkled with heavy sighs! They refused to replace the wall console on a brand new opener with purchase receipts, etc. They wanted a written service report from the installer to document the problem mailed to them! During Christmas break? How long will that take? 3-6 from the time they receive and process the paperwork! We're taking it down and getting our money back!

Liked it , Can I turn light 1,15,30,40 white and others off

Why is cocomelon a thing

I like this. I think I would have kept the battery box and drilled a hole in it. Then fed the wire through and used the battery terminals to wire it. That way the switch is still useful and it can be reversed easily.

How many amps was the charger? Might overheat it supplying multiple strings of lights with just one charger.

The best wiring videos to easily understand

I did the same set up. Took me days to go around my mom’s house. Had to go around plants, trees, windows. Went around the chimney with the supplied extension cord. Went to turn everything on last night. A quarter front part of the house, wraps to the chimney in a 7 shape, that part didn’t light. So now, I have to go back & find my error. I think I have one more set of complete lights that I’ll check & see if the reach is there, if so, I’ll connect those & see if they’ll make the connection… other than that hiccup, Merry Christmas. Thank you for putting this out.

On the one gable it looks like you installed the sections sideways. My house has zero overhang/soffit front and back and roughly 3 to 4 inches on the sides. Bright home itself doesnt provide dimensions other tha length of section. How did you do it sideways?

Brilliant!

I would love to change out battery things for USB but do not have the skills to do it. Maybe you could make a commercial product to help us less skilled ones.
