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.
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 ;-)
@@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.
@@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 :)
Ben, what DIY lights did you purchase?
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)
You literally did the video I was looking for
Man I have these Govee lights on my 75" tv. Changes your movie and gaming experience, Luv it .
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.
Excellent Video. Very Interesting! Thank You Ben.
Great video Ben, well explained and demoed!
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.
Very neat and special lights thanks for sharing
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.
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!
🎄🎈🎃
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. RUclips 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 👊
Awesome, thanks man! Lmk if you have any questions I can help with. I look forward to hanging out again
wow! splendid moment.So to decorate such RGB in my future wedding😊
Hey Bro! Loved the review, I was just searching these and was glad you reviewed them! Totally gotta get these!
Thanks Doug!
Can these be effectively connected to a smart switch, i.e., when the power supply at the outlet is turned "off" and later "on," will the controller return to the last illumination setting? Thanks. Well done video...
I cannot wait till they become available again.
This is really cool. Thanks for the video. A couple years ago, I went a different route with another brand.
These looks so COOL!!
Wow great point of view. I have a drone as well will definitely try this angle once I install. I might not do full house :D. Great review
Very interesting. I have been considering this for my house, and was worried I'd have to do a bunch of DIY. I like the enclosed form as weatherproofing was a big concern of mine.
I just bought the heater and LOVE IT!
Heater?
Great Video!! Question. On the app I have gone under advance, and I want do that spotlight feature. At corners of my house. My problem is I select the lights that I want on, but above it in that section has an effects it's either doing clockwise cycle, twinkie. How do I turn off the effects so the light just turns up stays on.
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!
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
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
I'll be installing 170' of the Govee lights (w/ 2 power supplies)...Are you able to tie the multiple power supplies together so that light programming is in one continuous loop?
Your neighbours must love these!
Wow colorful 🏡 so beautiful
super cool I love it for my house
Looks like you mounted these on the bottom of your fascia? Looking to do the same considering I don't have sofit.
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
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.
very interesting, I looked up the use in semi trailers and it is true, Geez !! thank you for the info.
Are they still going good ? What are the temperatures you are or will be dealing with in the coming days ? are these great for the canadian winters ?
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.
What is the color temp of just normal white? I have Govee RGBIC LED strip and white just seems a little off. I am interested in using them as just white accent lights outside of the holidays.
Where do you live? I'm concerned about the -4 degrees limit, but Govee told me that's just the control box so if I can get that inside, I should be ok. Is the control box attached at the end of the string of lights?
When you installed them did run power supplies from same outlet or two different outlets. I was wondering if you could run them both ways and meet in the middle on the other side of the house . I’m going around my house the same way you did yours. Thanks
We need this in the UK!! Please Govee!!
Looks Sick dude
Hi Ben. Do you know if the power input is universal voltage?
0:43 what kind of security camera is that at the corners of your home? Do you recommend them?
They look awesome!
Question: if the power goes out do they turn on when the power comes back? All my Govee products do that so was curious
Great video. Thank you.
Hello did you ever used extensions, how you jumped from flat surface to peak sides
Those cameras in your video mounted under the eaves…. Did you install them? Do you have a video of them? What’s the quality? Any good?
does it flicker when shooting with 120fps and above?
Hi and thanks for sharing, your home with the lights look Awesome!
You mentioned the recommendation is to place the lights 5 - 10 cm away from the wall but it looks like you placed them much further than than (I like the way you have it better!) How far away from the wall did you place yours?
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.
Great stuff! Govee makes excellent products!
I'm very impressed with their app and functionality. I can see them passing up Hue or Lifx in the future possibly
@@AuthenTech I currently have the Govee outdoor lights across my back patio. My wife loves them! I'll purchase these when available. Keep up the great work!
@@afpitbull60 Sweet, thanks!
Noticed you mounted them about 10 inches from the house. How's it looking now?
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?
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 🤷🏻
I have a 3 skip light set up the lights that I have got turned off will flash on for a second every minute or so. What could or would be causing this to happen?
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)
Happy Diwali Bro 🙂
When do they come back in stock ?
Hi there. How far are yours mounted from the wall?
They're sold out? Are these better than novostella rgb?
How easy could you remove these lights? I am worried that the 3M removal could remove paint from metal?
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.
Good idea, not sure how many people actually need this video though
@@AuthenTech really good idea especially since these lights are popular
I would love that video! I'm going to need about 300 feet and am super confused about the control boxes/grouping
@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. 😬
Internet is irrelevant for the lights. You need a wifi router.
I have seen that they say 5-10cm from wall, but noticed that you were more like one foot away. I have basically the same soffit as you, any regrets to where you did your install?
Is this available in Canada? I don’t see them on Govee Canadian website
Where do you get the extension to make the 150'?
What if you need 250’? There is a kit that is 150’ and one that is 100’. The kit with 150’ in it has what looks like two power supplies. Do these lights work together in the app for seamless control or do the individual strings end up out of sync? Can I go 250’ on one power supply?
Looks nice. But you can never find them available. Looking into other options from different manufacturers
Is Govee releasing them in the UK?
What if I have too many left over or too short? Can I snip off the extra ones?
Changes of VHB coming off is pretty minimal unless you force it off.
Do they have plain length of electrical line in case you need to make a jump from peak to peak without lights?
Yeah the website says it comes with some of those runs.
Awesome! Nice video! Im buying one too!
What is the square footage of your house? Want to know if 150ft is enough for mine. I have a 2400sq ft home.
I have a bit of govee lights and enjoy them. Those look pretty sweet.
How would this work on a two story home where the lines don't connect 🤔 wouldn't there be exposed leds hanging from one edge to another
@@ericdavisii3912you'd have to splice in extensions with no lights.
Is the 100ft total 100 ft with the extension or is it 100 ft plus the extension 15ft total of 115?
If you leave lights out in sun for an hour or 2 stretched out will help cord be more pliable
Can you do a video teaching how to use the app? Specifically how to do the accent lighting over your windows.
How long is the power cord to the first light?
I needed a installation video
Great video. Can you cut strings shorter in case you dont need the extra length? Thanks
No. But each strand is about 17ft, three per 50ft. You could just drop strands as needed.
Took a week for them to be no longer available on Amazon :(
Amazing job, since 4 years I’m looking to build like this. But 3 times I moved to different houses. How can I build like this. Are you making and selling like this?. How much will come all for this accessories. Without any electrical background can we do this ?. All accessories are available in the market?.
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
I’m have dart brown gutters and these white wires would stick out. Are the wires paintable.
Nice house you have.
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 !!
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.
How many ft did you need to cover your house?
Looks like you bought the last one. No supply on Amazon or Govee
Awesome video yet again cheers
Cheers
I just received mine today, open the box and playing with them, and am I to believe the only way you can play with the scenes and create your own scenes colors individual lights Ect is to order the premium service. None of the scenes seem to work.keeps bring the sub huddle page ?
is the power box on one end or is this split in the middle??
What if you don’t have a whole 15m of soffit? Can they be cut shorter?
Wish govee sold them in the UK, would be great for Christmas!
Wish they sold them in the US, too. 😜
I’ve never seen them in stock.
Can you control each individual light on the non pro version?
Interesting, can you turn off parts of the strip? For example can you just turn on that back where you have your grill?
Yes
what about if my roof have some gaps/roof lines.
Any motion detection feature ?
Good Lucy finding the lights for purchase..
can you cut the line to length
so where the heck can I get these -_-?! I cant even find a product page anywhere...
Do you have any Holiday Programs that you've created? Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Newyears?
how many feet of lights did connect together
I like that there's an option to set a scene for everyday (not holiday-specific) down-lighting, but is there a warm white setting or a color combo that comes close to warm white?
I just installed some on my house. There are warm white and cold white options!
I believe you have to get the pro version to get a true warm white.
@@billmartin3198 Perhaps. I haven't measured the actual light output to know the actual lumens. But it looks soft white/warm white to me!
My front of the house is only 46ft can I cut the line? I also read reviews to start at the power source and work out to the end of the run and cut off the excess from the end? Thanks for the video!
Sorry I’m sure if cutting the line breaks it
