@jbsdiytv

The normal version is H705. By your model type, you have the Elites. There isn’t a Y-split available on the market that we know of. We try and stay away from Y-split as the strands mirror each other. So for instance, you run a Govee scene, you won’t tell. When you start creating solid colors or accent lighting, you won’t have individual control on the strands tied into each other

Not necessarily. This video is older than the other ones. If you have a top left or right soffit outlet or vise versa, they can be powered for both top and bottom install of strands going the same direction. You would want to try and install devices near the front of the house to be able to control them without issues and a kit in the back would only be controlled in the back. Let me know if you have any other questions

No they are not. This is a Govee DIY product. Trim light uses pixels, others use pucks lights that snap into a track. Most of those companies charge 5-7k for 100ft install. We are just meticulous with all our installs and we install above the manufacturer’s recommendations to last longer

Great video and great advice. I have just 2 comments or suggestions. First, I have discovered that when i use the solider and seal connectors sometimes the wire will poke through the plastic side causing a possible short situation. So i place a section of shrink tubing with the glue/sealer inside over the connectors as added insurance. Then also to further seal with another shrink tube over all three extrnded about 1/2 inch past each end. Second, i had enough overhang of my facia board that i put my lights on the back of the facia board aming toward the house. Thus hides the lights almost completely and lights up washing the house wall much brighter.
@jbsdiytv
Жыл бұрын
Thank you for commenting. I’ve never had that issue with this brand of solder and seal when you mention the wire poking through. I have had this issue when using just the heat shrink sleeve without the solder so I stop using that type. The sleeve on these have a silicone in them when they get heated up when properly done. I can see someone who doesn’t know how to work with these have that issue so that is a good suggestion to have another seal cover the hole connections after complete. Wouldn’t hurt. To answer your suggestion on the lights on the back of the fascia facing the wall. Installed this way for one of my clients because they asked for it to begin and they ended up not liking it. They would rather have the triangle effect like shown in my videos instead of blasting light shown on the wall. Of course they paid me to re do it and it wasn’t worth the hours and headaches we got from it so I’ll never bring that up. I do mention to all my clients that it isn’t track lighting. Most of them are ok with it because it’s a knockoff from bigger types of lighting at a lower cost. For the ones that will pay to paint the lights to match the soffit, I’ll do it for them. Also have to consider a house I did had 4 different soffits spacing in the front alone, some 5inches some 12 inches and the others in between. Casting would've been different in those areas. So to keep everything even as I always recommend 2 to 4 inches. Thank you, this will help with someone’s install

I have the H705C kit. 150’ with two 12’ Govee extensions. I needed to cut and splice at two different points to reach a roof peak. I used 18 gauge 3-wire jumps that were initially about 11’ each. This resulted in flickering about half way past the first jump. When trouble shooting, I cut the first jump down to about 6’ and the prob was solved until the next jump. When I cut the second 11’ jump down to about 6’ … entire prob solved and entire system works fine. But I really need those two jumps to be about 11’ each to hide and run the wires correctly.

We only captured 100ft kit to show how to connect, set up that all your strands and make sure they work before install. It was 95 ft to the left and 95ft to the right so this install had 2-100ft kits which were grouped later in the app. I have installed the lights to an outlet that was in a switch so no not necessarily consistent power if that’s all you have.

I never encourage defamation of another business practices. Govee lights don’t have a track vs the other competitors installs. Factor that in price. I have had my no pro lights on my home installed for about 2yrs now and can say this, I run mine for 12hrs everyday. They look great and are bright. The light is defined by the cone on the wall. It’s not a must to run them that long but I’m doing it for testing purposes for longevity. They do have 50,000hrs of life. You can have your lights stay up there on the soffits if you actually take some extra time to clip every light, use 3D mounts sold by others or customize yours to raceway channel. Other businesses who install permanent lighting are now competing with homeowners purchasing their own type of permanent lighting so of course bash the product off info on research that a bad installer did. Do it right the first time and you won’t have problems. From an installers perspective on the non pros and pros, we choose to install the pros because they are easier to install. For example, the non pros are one directional LEDs when splicing. It must all go back the way it was cut. The pros, the strands don’t need to be cut in sequence. I can take a piece from another strand and they still work. You still need to keep the connectors running the same though. Non pros are not warranted after splicing but pros are warranted if spliced. The non pros use 3 colors to make white vs the pros have specific LEDs designated for both warm and cool white and that’s a major pure difference. On non pros when installed from left to right it shows white with a tint of green and when installed right to left it shows white with a tint of purple. Pros are slightly brighter. Hope this gives you a perspective on the product and the two kit differences

Each side after using the provide extension and our custom jumps the total feet added is 124ft under the recommended 150ft If you buy a 150ft kit, it’s a different story. You can use what Govee provided. Sorry for the confusion. There were 2-12ft extensions used like described at the beginning of the video for planning and layout. At each location of those 12ft extensions, we spliced 2 times there and another 2times at the other to make those jumps possible. Hope this clears up your question

I would just like to use the same power outlet. Not sure how that would work on the application. Since it would be going to two different directions from the same power outlet.

What product would y'all use if you needed to do a 3 way split, not just 2 way? I have a house I'm going to be doing and they have a gable as well as a straight area to cover.
@jbsdiytv
6 ай бұрын
We typically don’t do 2-ways or 3 ways because the devices can be grouped as one system. If you wanted to make a 2 or even a 3 way, just keep in mind whatever line you tie into, those lights will mirror that strand. Which is not a problem when you use your Govee scenes but only a problem when you do your accent spot lighting as you turn a particular lights, the strand attached will also respond. He is something you can try out to see if it works for you amzn.to/4aFXiYn

If you decide to do this on the picket side(usually to the street) then the white wire will stand out and the lights will need to be put on their sides if you want the triangle effect. Or you can face them out. If you do it on the inside, it would work on the edge of the top rail 2x4 with the adhesive pad and clips. This install will be close to a home installation look.

Hi there. Light spacing is 17” center to center. Govee provides a 12ft extension in the 100ft box and 2-12ft extensions on the 150ft set. If you’re going to be using custom wiring, I would only use those for small jumps like 1-2ft. If not you have voltage drop and cause flickering in your lights

My other govee videos show now us installing them in the attic and in some cases we install them inside the cavity of a soffit outlets

The lights and wire are rated IP-67 rated. 65-67 both provide a high level rating and provide excellent protection for outdoor enclosures. I did spray a clear protectant over the line of the 12’ extension to protect it from some of the elements which I didn’t show in the video. I apply this to most painted materials when I do handyman projects to protect outdoor paints exposed to elements. Some of these items we keep addressing in our future installations so it wouldn’t hurt to protect them more if you can. Thank you for your questions

Hi there. Thank you for watching my video. That is the 12’ extension provided by Govee. There were two jumps like this. 3 and 7. They were 9ft jumps only and I cut the connections off so that way we did not have all that extra line left on each one. Then those cut off connections, we used them in other locations we spliced the strands and put the heat shrink sleeves with the solder. I hope this answers your question. If you need to make small jumps, the link is in my description (18-3 BTF) Keep this in mind, 100ft box comes with one 12ft extension. 150ft box comes with two 12ft extension. Look at your house and see if you will need two major jumps. Unfortunately you can’t just order extensions last time I checked.
