That's really sweet. It needs a motion sensing add on. So I can shut it off at 10 but if someone approaches it comes on.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Love that idea 💡

[@jasonabney6577]

@@pestandlawnginjacould you use a smarthings motion sensor to trigger turning these on with Google Home ?

[@pestandlawnginja]

@@jasonabney6577 I'm not entirely sure but my thoughts are no. Maybe someone else can chime in but when I disconnect the hard line and reconnect it takes the computer time to boot up and connect to the network. And also doesn't turn it on. I believe it would take some very simple program to allow such a device. But maybe it's possible now

[@trevpattee773]

@@jasonabney6577 yes you can. It’s a pretty new feature

[@cheeota1]

I just installed the govee permenate outdoor lights. They are incredible , so Brite, love this guys house and light, but I got to say I like the look of govee better they project on your house in just an amazing way to create very special effects. Great video ty for inspiration

[@pestandlawnginja]

Glad you like them!

[@blakestonebustosrb]

How much did you pay?

[@debbiec6216]

I was checking out just the lighting on Govee , you can have lighting for many things , doesn't have to be on the house either. You can have lighting behind your TV , on the wall, etccc. Costco's Wholesale Foods has Govee Lighting at their store now !!!! You would have to install it yourselves. We are have a lighting Company SCHEDULE SERVICE or GET A FREE ESTIMATE. Only differences their lighting is the actual lights on the home "year round" . They have several options. Our home isn't as big as the homes you seen on other websites . We are new with this , but we are willing to listen to what the Company has to say . After spending 1/2 hours on here, I can see the differences with Lighting. Each year , we would go out and look at Christmas lights in the neighborhoods and I have noticed more families wanting permanent lighting. In this region, ( from homes $100K - Millions ) are all wanting Christmas lights on their homes. ( off topic ) Homes in this region has doubled - triple the price $$$$$$$ New Home or Older Home all Average $470K or more depends on what you are looking for !!!! I'm watching new homes being built , everyday , if it's in our subdivision or anywhere else . One subdivision the Developer is building 500 homes and they are putting Permanent Christmas Lights on them , they look like the Style of Jellyfish .

[@cheeota1]

@blakestonebustosrb I spent about 500$ to do my whole house. I had to get 2 - 100foot sections. I love them. So easy to install and so many effects. I also got there t.v black lighting. It is just incredible t.v will never be the same. It works so good. Even when sun light is coming in

[@pestandlawnginja]

It really is! Thanks for watching!

[@Wj33333]

Good vid man. I had Jellyfish installed in February of this year so I’m really enjoying them now that it’s the holidays. Also they match the color of your houses trim with the tracks so they are hard to see in the day time.

[@pestandlawnginja]

That's awesome. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@eddieromero9118]

What did they charge you for the installation?

[@Wj33333]

[@timborski1210]

We have Trimlights and its the best thing we have ever done! Its basically the same thing. We wanted Jellyfish but they didnt do our area.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Trimlights is a great company that stands behind there product

[@missystein6717]

Jellyfish is 3 to 1 comparative of Trimlite. Jellyfish is the lights Trimlite use for business accounts.

I am a new Jellyfish installee in Birmingham AL. I was so intrigued by the lights I openned a business to install them! Great video!

Great vid! Is there a light setting for warm white instead of bright white? Thx again.

[@savagecub]

Hey that looks like the Wall Snatch mountain range in the background.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Indeed

[@michaell6645]

For accent lighting it’s great, but I have not seen any permanent sets that give the quality look of Christmas dedicated leds on gutters and roof

I remember when you did these. Looks great man. What would an install like yours cost? Thanks 🍺

[@pestandlawnginja]

It's about $5500. $650 per controller $25 per linear feet I installed About 180 linear feet

[@lawn2learn]

@@pestandlawnginja Really not horrible to be honest.

[@mwgorman]

Got mine installed over summer with big “Christmas in July” discount. My family absolutely loved them. I’m a tech bro who knows how to code and would buy this system 100 times over instead of creating my own. Only complaint is I can’t loop multiple patterns together to create a scene.

[@pestandlawnginja]

thanks for sharing! about the looping patterns. I'm hoping this is the primary update they're working on with the music and lights show program they are creating. it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out.

[@luv14lyf]

You'd need rgbw. You don't need a degree just a different app and controller that has music feature. Hear Jellyfish controllers are pretty pricey especially if you need more than one

[@tynguyen4235]

Hi ! I just got the light cinoton permanent outdoor light ,but after I put them on around my house then when I turn the light on a part string light from the hub keep flashing, I can't turn to solid color ..so do you have any advice?

[@pestandlawnginja]

Could be a few things. Try uninstalling the lights from the app and reinstalling them to the app. Next i would check your power supply and if it came with a booster I would check to make sure those are properly installed

[@TheOhsh13]

Can you do warm white accent lighting or just the cool white?

[@pestandlawnginja]

you can choose whatever color you can imagine.

[@GRoush5]

How would you compare this to the new Govee Outdoor Permanent Lights Pro? The Govee lights seem to accomplish the same look at a way more cost effective price.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Great question. Here's my 2c. Software capabilities of the jellyfish are slightly better. The color casting between the two are completely different. I feel the govee is new school has its own look. The jellyfish has a more timeless look. Both hide well. Govee you see the wire but with a little more effort you can minimize it. The price for the govee is awesome and for the average Joe is a fantastic buy

[@luv14lyf]

​@@pestandlawnginjaif the wires match your trim, you don't mind just 1 rgb led and and you like the circus look cast, then you're good to go. Not sure high-end homes want wires showing so track systems cost more for a finished look

[@DanielLynds]

​@@luv14lyf I believe the new DIY systems (Govee PRO and Govee 2) have two separate white LEDs in addition to the RGB LED

[@lemabean56]

LOVE your update! Im the dealer for NW Arkansas & SW Missouri, THIS is a great share for those interested.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jennifermorgan3898]

What if 1 light goes off? You have to replace the whole track?

[@pestandlawnginja]

@@jennifermorgan3898 you do not need to replace the entire track. Just splice and replace

[@ptinsureagency]

Do these lights go out? If so how long do they last?

[@pestandlawnginja]

@ptinsureagency these have a life expectancy if 20 years. In the case a light does go out and new one can be sliced in

[@trevoroickle7753]

How did you run the wires to the two peaks on the right?

[@pestandlawnginja]

Through the attic

[@drizahy9653]

I have my setup cost $4k. The only thing I am upset about is lack of HomeKit support(they do support Alexa/google now) and music sync. Yes you can do a DIY system but I agree the price is the track system you’re paying for. If you buy the Govee and you if the pads start to come off it’s just more headaches.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Love the feedback! Thank you for sharing

[@shane6002]

Can you get the tracking in other colors?

[@pestandlawnginja]

Yah. I believe they have most colors

[@shane6002]

@@pestandlawnginja great thanks

[@carolebersole4025]

Yes, they match tracks to your soffit color.

[@johnbollman7605]

My local dealer color matched the tracks with the exact same Sherwin Williams paint. The installers touched up all screws and corner cuts as they put up the tracks. They totally disappear in the daytime.

[@ap5139]

How many feet did you have installed?

220 linear feet

[@mattford5495]

I got jellyfish installed last year and we love them. It’s funny watching cars slow down and check them out. I do wish each holiday and throughout the year that Jellyfish would update their app with new patterns. It wouldn’t be difficult for them.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Love it! It's a great setup. The cars slowing down is a real thing. Such a clean look

[@dmdm9198]

Gemstone lighting better than this? 5year warranty, leds rated at 50khours.anybody have them?
