They are out of stock everywhere probably due to the season, or your video, or discontinued???... I think they look great and exactly what I have been looking for.

Out of stock everywhere.. hopefully they stock back up soon.

Do you know when they will have the stock? Wondering if there is a way to contact them directly for this answer

Help needed!! Lol I just installed 2 100ft Govee permanent lights. How do you combine the two sets of Lights to control all the different scenes? I tried using the groups section but it doesn’t give me the option to control the scenes. Thank you 🙏

I’m an Amazon driver and I’ve been seeing these lights everywhere wondering wat r these amazing house LED lights everyone has and I finally found it! Definitely gonna pick some up for my own house and will be ready for all the holidays to come! 🎄🎈🎃

[@PitoCanito]

How far away from the wall are they? Looks like you place them further than recommend, but I like the effect, which is a lot more light!

[@BrandonMitchell84]

So it was basically $1000.00 USD ? Not terrible but i feel like there are other options at less price for the same setup (90m run)

[@TravisTrittFan]

3M tape? 3M Tape is good stuff, I know that for sure...but I'm seriously concerned about the longevity of using tape to hold these up more than a season or so. The constant exposure to the elements and temp changes I would think I'd eventually walk out of the house and see sections of this falling off the house. What are your thoughts on this?

[@mattg5229]

Having worked with vhb outside before, it will probably happen but only after many years, I have things that are attached (fully exposed to weather) with VHB and they've been holding for 4 years. A lot of car manufacturers use VHB for badges and appliques too.

[@Eccentech]

Yea I don't like that. I installed my Philips Hue outdoor lightstrips with brackets that came with it I screwed into that house. Obviously that's gonna stick forever until I get rid of my Hue strips. Those screw clips might help though assuming you can put actual screws through it.

[@McGarveyton]

3M 4298UV Adhesion Promoter will make the tape stick like you wouldn't believe. I've used in a body shop to attach emblems to fiberglass panels and had to remove them later for damage and it actually pulled the gel coat off with it down to the fiberglass underneath it had stuck that good

[@BlakeLoring]

I’ve had the 3M command strips that aren’t VHB up for 3 years, and they are still going strong. I think if you install these under the soffit and not exposed, the VHB should last a long time.

[@randomrazr]

i agree hte adhesive will eventually fail thanks for the sun. then you have to scrape off the old adhesive which will prob damage the finish on the soffeting

[@stewartstewartstewart]

Cool to see. However, dude, work on your script. The whole thing is read like a single sentence 😂

[@KEF1987]

You should make a video on how to connect the Govee permanent lights to the app. How to combine several sets and the different scenes that are available. Govee has so many devices on the app that it’s difficult trying to figure out what setting goes with what product. Thank you love the videos.

[@AuthenTech]

Good idea, not sure how many people actually need this video though

[@2handzup]

@@AuthenTech really good idea especially since these lights are popular

[@vivarias]

I would love that video! I'm going to need about 300 feet and am super confused about the control boxes/grouping

[@amandalopez6471]

​@AuthenTech It would be very helpful for some of us that live in very rural communities with limited internet service. Most devices require 2.5 GHz which is not an option with some of our systems. I need to know if I can get them to work any other way. 😬

[@Trucker-Belly]

Internet is irrelevant for the lights. You need a wifi router.

[@TJsVette]

It's cool but tacky looking. Not for me but hey to each their own

[@shaneeikenberry7435]

Noticed you mounted them about 10 inches from the house. How's it looking now?

[@ToolReviewZone]

Brother man Ben. Awesome video as usual. We have construction starting on our house outside and the contractor is installing recessed right on the soffit soon. KZbin recommended this vid to me and I may incorporate these somehow as well. Great job brother and I'll see you at the next show 👊

[@AuthenTech]

Awesome, thanks man! Lmk if you have any questions I can help with. I look forward to hanging out again

[@tthai6965]

Looks like you bought the last one. No supply on Amazon or Govee

[@BenReese]

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]

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]

@@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.

[@BhushanAhire]

@@BenReese You can run 150 ft on one power adaper for these Govee. I am waiting to install on my house. two story makes it harder to install myself :)

[@josephturner3252]

Ben, what DIY lights did you purchase?

[@talinatravica1549]

Wish these weren’t sold out. They look easier than what I was going to try. I just watched a video showing how to put these lights in J Channel. Rextin WS2811 Pixels Digital Addressable LED String Lights Waterproof RGB Full Color 12mm DC 12V (DC12V 500pcs)

[@07THE19]

They look great I see that you mounted them towards the edge of your house, rather than closer like 3 inches. Was that preference or intended because I see so many other videos that recommend closer to the house but the lights on your house are super bright so I guess it doesn’t matter. thoughts?

[@rawknee04]

I had the same question. My eaves have exposed beams underneath so it’s not a flat surface. It appears that affixing them to the trim looks just fine according to his video 🤷🏻

[@vahn2g4]

[@kingb2121]

Hey Ben, great video, I just purchased (2) boxes of 100feet because of your review, I need 170 feet of continuous lights to cover my house, My question as I could not find the answers in the instructions is, how to I install both power supplies for a continuous string of lights up to 170feet? 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 !!

[@nincow_9249]

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.

[@cruz4me]

I have a question so i bought 150ft but how can i add the last 100ft and sync everything together? I know it comes with another power adapter can can i connect where i left off and connect the adapter at the end? Or does it have to be separate yours look like they are all connected together thank you so much

[@ericthagr3at237]

Anybody else thinks he kind looks like Shawn White

[@JohnDoe-dn9yo]

It says to install them between 1.91 - 3.94 inches away from the wall... Further away doesn't seem like any issue looking at your installation. Have you came across any lighting effect issues because of it by any chance? Definitely need these.

[@Lingo]

As of today the 50' and 100' are unavailable through links in comments.

[@lizlauer3959]

I want to know how you can switch to diff levels in the house. I have a front light yours - but a bigger gap from the edge of my house to that upper peak, and i dont want the lights actually on the roof to get to that upper level

[@JoeEdwards-w7m]

Can you do a Video Walkthrough of how to program the lights. Govee website and support is not very good or hard to find and the desktop app doesn't even have the option yet. I want to be able to do the off season corner selection as an example that you showed in your video. I just got 2 of the 100 foot boxes. Programing them as a group seems more difficult.

[@Kevinw4040]

Looks awesome except for those cords screaming look at me.

[@yourdream8]

Really cool too bad Govee can't actually keep these in stock. Lol 😆

[@KasualKaos]

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.

[@inshapekhabib7489]

very interesting, I looked up the use in semi trailers and it is true, Geez !! thank you for the info.

does it flicker when shooting with 120fps and above?

If you need no ones to call n see you at the late night you can just put x.p.e blue/cannot exprieance blue colors at your background light colors at your own home,but you needs welcome to people go to your home n you alreadeay have in home you put exprieance dark blue colors light background,just my ideas,tq sir,

[@thebigdoghimself]

You could add some clear caulk to hold the wire in place, plus it would releive some downward pressure from the 3m tape on the lights.

[@rynwolf286]

Looks like you mounted these on the bottom of your fascia? Looking to do the same considering I don't have sofit.

[@timisw]

How easy could you remove these lights? I am worried that the 3M removal could remove paint from metal?

[@samirvapiwala7976]

You said 5 inch away from wall but I see around 18 inch away from wall in your installation, I have same distance at my home and so confuse if it looks better or not..

[@Nick-kq2sw]

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.

[@d.i.m.doitmyself2506]

Wow!! Excellent video and drone footage!! So I installed the Govee light a with full double side tape throughout and they look great!! This was about 6 months ago and I’m ready for Xmas. Just trying to figure out the auto time aspect. Where did you go for that on the app?

At the top of the app, I go to "Command", then "Schedule". It's really slick, I have all sorts of automations setup

[@polunga]

I second this question, my roof is weird and I cant place them 10 cm (3 inches) or so from the wall but like 11 inches, which seems to be about the distance in this video, and they don't look bad, so I'm hopeful it looks good.

[@sirtwentythree]

Did the total length you used end up being more than 150ft (9 strands)? Asking because I just got 200ft worth and I'm trying to sync them all to work together. I understand you can only have up to 9 strands per power box, but is there any way to sync more than one power box together?

[@homeboi808]

What did you end up doing? Use 2 separate power? I know in the app you can control multiple products, but can you “sync” them? For instance, if you lined up all 200ft, can you have a moving sequence go through all of them? Or is each power box separate?
