You have the Perfect House for these lights.. It Looks AMAZING! I just finished my Install Yesterday on a Two Story, Center Hall Colonial and it looks great but they Don't Look as good on a Two Story Vs Rancher... I ran into something I would like to share with everyone to keep them from having a Heart Attack.. The First night I only installed One Set of lights that got me to the Bottom of of a 28' Peak., The next day I installed the next String that did 85% of the peak.. So I decided to Turn on the lights to see how they looked and the second String DID NOT LIGHT! I checked the connector and it was OK, but while playing with it the First light of the second String would blink Occasionally... So I disconnected the second light string and Connected another one with the same results.. I was devastated thinking I had to redo the 28' Peak again.. The fix was just unplugging the power pack and plugging back in... I had to do this every time I installed a new string... Hope this helps some one.

[@T_B_C_L]

That's awesome you got them installed. And yes I believe you are right about the power supply. I think setting the app to 1-9 segments, however many you are installing will fix this as well. Unfortunately most setup the app after the install. Thx for watching and especially thx for the information that I know is going to help everyone that reads it. 😊

About to run 200ft of these lights and def disappointed they dont provide more extensions. Im hoping i can make some and saw you got away using the ones they provided so hopefully ill be able to pull it off. Last house i ran about 150ft of ws2811 pixels in channels and really didnt want to do that again with our new place. Looks awesome man, hope i can get the same results with what i have.

[@T_B_C_L]

200ft might be pushing it for that power supply. If it was me and I had to make my own extensions I would not use anything less than 16awg wire. I actually have some 14awg 4 wire in white that I was going to use if I had to. I had it from previous project. Govee not having access to extensions is really annoying for sure. I did find these on Amazon amzn.to/403reth unfortunately they come in and out of stock constantly but I read they will work with the govee lights. Hope you get it worked out 🍻

[@foxforma]

@T_B_C_L I figured both Power supplies would be used with the full 200ft. I have some left over connection ends that look the same as govee from when I did the ws2811 pixels and hope "if" I need to extend they operate the same way.

I was super concerned as well. Even at first after install I was still concerned as I am very picky about how my home is presented. It's only been a short time and everything already appears normal to me 😊. If you do a good job pulling everything tight, minding your measurements everything will come out great. I will be making an update video soon about how I figured out in the app to set a sunrise /sunset nightlight setting. Basically when the sun goes down, a few of the lights turn on, providing a very nice accent lighting, then automatically turns off on sunrise. So far I am very happy with my purchase and my wife absolutely loves them so a very big plus.

[@T_B_C_L]

@@paulmaestas8709 that may be because of how the led are lined up in the Puck. My lights look pinkish in the thumbnail because of the color of my house and the light color output at that particular moment. It's honestly irrelevant though. You can change the lights to accommodate any color you desire. It only takes trial and error. Light output will appear different depending on the background color of the home or situation.

[@Juan-t2r8m]

Great video. Man I can’t get mine to work on 6 strands and a 12ft extension.

Check to make sure you have a 72w power supply. I talked to a guy that was sent the wrong power supply and he was having a similar problem.

[@abs2084]

When you say extension, are you meaning sections of wire without lights? Does it come with any? I have one jump on a “double peak” like yours and a jump from first level to second that I don’t want lit and didn’t want to just turn off sections of light. Seems like a waste of $.

[@T_B_C_L]

You got it exactly right. The 150ft kit comes with 2 extension and the 100ft comes with only one extension. The extensions are 12ft long and unfortunately Govee does not sell them separately for some reason. You could if needed make your own extension but just make sure you use at least 18awg and don't go more than 15ft. With my setup I did steal a 3rd extension from my 100ft kit but it was OK because I only used 7 segments so the footage was still within specs. If you push the footage to far, the voltage drop may be to much and cause problems. Hope this helps 😊

I have had mine since July and still haven't opened them. I am dreading the work that will go into setting these up. I don't think the adhesive is going to hold up at all in the Texas heat next summer. Maybe I missed it in the video since I have it kind of quiet at work lol, but when you connect 2 sets together, do you need to plug in each set to power or will plugging one in power up both sets? Hope that makes sense.

[@T_B_C_L]

I don't blame you dreading the install, although not super easy, it's also not that bad. Try doing what I did and don't get in a hurry to finish. I split the job up into 3 days and everything was done after work a couple of hours each day. Now some might say that's way to long to do the job, and I would agree for some the could get this done in probably 2hrs. Unfortunately I'm pretty picky and want things a certain way causing a more complicated install, requiring a lot of measuring. I could have easily just started at one end and just placed everything wherever they landed. Now as far as the power source, you only need to power from the very beginning and all the other light strands and extensions just plug into each other. Easy peasy. As far as the adhesive, it is pretty strong. Let's just say I made a mistake and had to peel one Puck off and it took the paint with it. Lucky I still have paint left over from when I had my house painted so I was able to remedy that. Now would I trust the adhesive, not really. It might be fine but I feel much better that I used those wire anchors for my install. I just place one after every Puck, we'll almost every Puck. I may have to go back and add a few if the adhesive fails. Where I live in California it gets super hot 🔥 in the summer. Upwards of 110° so I'm kinda of in the same boat as you in Texas. I say wait until you have so cooler dry weather and start the install. I really love how they came out and the wife absolutely loves them!

When I purchased these I was already aware of the new model and the new features. After weighing out the pros and cons I just could not justify the price. If you need the black because of your situation it may be worth it.

Looks great! So is the spacing off in other locations since you centered up all the peaks like that?

[@T_B_C_L]

With the light Puck centered it basically made everything else symmetrical on both sides of the peak down the fascia board. This is exactly how I wanted it. It's easy to just start at one end and just have the light Puck land where it lands. This makes for a super easy installation. For some, I'm sure this is fine. For me, that would have drove me bonkers. Doing it the way I did definitely adds to the install complexity, but nothing that an average guy with a tape measure wouldn't be able to accomplish.

[@inzendio]

Thanks wasnt sure if those extensions were part of that 150 feet

[@colbychristie5119]

approximately how far away are the lights mounted from the side of your house? Looks really good great job

[@T_B_C_L]

The lights are anywhere from 8-12 inches away from the wall. Deciding this was very important to me as I didn't want the sharp cone look and luckily my wife didn't either. Having the mock setup and testing was very helpful in deciding the best spot to place the lights.

[@Jakethepwasher]

Did you cut and splice the wire or use actual extensions everywhere?

[@T_B_C_L]

I was able to use extensions on all 3 transitions.

[@slorocco3]

What are the extensions you used? Looks awesome, by the way

[@T_B_C_L]

The 150ft kit comes with 2 12ft extensions, I robbed the 3rd extension from the 100ft kit to finish the job. Honestly though if I didnt have that extension available, I would have just made my own out of one of the extra segments I had left over.

What is the brand of clips that you used to hold the wires?

[@T_B_C_L]

amzn.to/45ZvwTV they are the ones in here. They are made for Coaxial or cat 6 but they worked fine. I already had a bunch of these so I just used them.

[@Deluxrockz]

How much did you end up paying for the 150ft kit with the prime deal.?

[@T_B_C_L]

I paid $336.99

[@Deluxrockz]

@@T_B_C_L damn!!! I missed that sale. Been wanting them since last year

[@T_B_C_L]

@@Deluxrockz I was in the same boat, when I seen Amazon was gonna have them on sale I made sure to get in early so they didn't go out of stock. Another alternative is these eufy lights. I'm pretty sure they are made by the same manufacturer and come with a soft white led. I'm pretty sure the coupon code still works if you follow the link in the description. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKullpSgZrqFnZIsi=pQ0ckdJ_fKaMy-Bu

Came out good! Might try it this year

[@T_B_C_L]

My wife has been bugging me for years to put lights on the house and I always refused and only did yard decorations. Let's just say she is extremely happy I finally did especially the permanent lighting that can be used for every occasion. I doubt you will be disappointed 😊

[@jbsdiytv]

Great job on your install🏆

How much was the price for 100’ with Amazon deal?

[@T_B_C_L]

I paid $225 at the time.

[@jsoninja3004]

If u use both the 100ft nd 50ft.. they can sync together?

[@T_B_C_L]

I do not have personal experience with this, but during my research, I did read yes this is indeed possible. I will be installing some lights in my backyard at some point and may have a better answer to this question. I also have some other lights being delivered today that I will be making a video about soon. Stay tuned.

[@Seven7ails]

Good job homie 🍻

[@T_B_C_L]

Ty ty.... I Always appreciate the positive feedback 🍻

[@paulmaestas8709]

What happens if I am 10 ft too short to cover the front and side of my house with the Govee 150ft RGBIC kit, and I use the 16ft extention from Amazon to get the full coverage and I cut the extra 6 ft off? Would this be okay or has anyone tried this? Thanks

[@T_B_C_L]

Honestly you should probably be fine. Only way to know is to hook it all up the way you need it before installing to test

[@paulmaestas8709]

@T_B_C_L Do you know what happens if it doesn't work? Do the lights not turn on or does it make all the lights dim..

[@T_B_C_L]

@@paulmaestas8709 it could not turn on, flicker or dimming. I will say this though, I have 7 segments and 3 extensions in my setup which makes approx 150ft. I added another full segment at the end thinking I might want it to go around the corner but in the end I decided not to use it. When I connected it everything appeared to work just fine. That would have put my setup at 166ft. The 150ft kit comes with 9 segments and 2 extensions. If you add it up it's over 170ft. With what you are describing you will be well under that.

[@paulmaestas8709]

@T_B_C_L I did use both extentions for the eves and also spliced in one more 4 foot extention. Where I had to cut a few lights out is where I added the additional 4 ft extention. I usedb18 gauge wires with water proof butts. I then put water proof sleeves over them.
