DIY Permanent Holiday LED Lights: The Install

I decided to install LED lights on our home that we could enjoy year round - This may turn into one of those crazy "sync to music" homes eventually, but initially I'm just doing the roofline and the peaks of our home.
What I found though is the learning curve for this project is VERY involved! There are so many things to know and a lot of trial and error and "buying things hoping they'll work"
So - I'm doing a series of videos to share what I have learned to help you do similar projects without all the pain and suffering I've been going through!
Links to the pieces I'm using in my set up are below. This is not a paid endorsement, the opinions in this video are my own - please do your own research.
