How many of the splice connectors come in the package? And only 100ft is available, correct?
The garage door, are those the curtain lights? How do you make the different effects?
Your whole Govee series really helped me to do a great installation. Thank you for taking the time to figure all this out and sharing it with us.
This is definitely the kind of video that gets you in the holiday spirit, ready to transform your home into a winter wonderland.
Holy Cow Chris, I can't believe how quickly you've gone from you making them walk panels and light shapes for your wall out of wood and LED strips (I forget the actual name) to today with a house front like this and that computer desk!, not to mention all the subs,
It really couldn't of happened to a nicer bloke, you are flying mate, long may it continue.
Best wishes to you and your family Chris 🇺🇸🇬🇧
i like the fact that you didn’t go overkill on the lights. just enough to make it look amazing without over exposing to much light.
Looks amazing, especially the curtain lights! Such an awesome setup
Thanks so much buddy! Glad you liked the setup and thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review. Glad you’re enjoying them.
ThankU so much for this idea of hanging on your garage door. I've been searching for ideas for hanging outside and your idea is brill.
I love how you set up the lights! very smooth!
The last couple of minutes breath taking. I knew the end would be remarkable but yet still I can't stop replaying the great white reveal 🏆✔
Another great video Chris. You are the sole reason my home office is as cool as it is! 👊🏼
Thanks buddy!! Glad you liked the video! I'm honored! Its a fun hobby for sure and glad i've been able to share it with others!
My garage curtains came out amazing thanks for sharing
My Outdoor Pro kit comes today and after seeing your video looks like I’ll be buying the curtains too because that looks amazing !
These do come in black, unlike the previous gen. Probably easier to make them "disappear" on many houses than white. The splicing kit is fine and all but I'd probably still use some Posilocks and shrinkwrap. Almost toolless, and much less gigantic blobs than this, but for people not comfy with working with wires I can see the splicing kit being nice.
Looking great Chris! I live in an apartment so I can't get as elaborate as you, but I do have 2 sets of curtains on my balcony that look great and one set of curtains inside that I constantly play with. One thing I would love to see is more in depth on creating your own animations for the curtains, specially with 2 or more joined. Thinking out loud here, getting them to interface with WLED instead of Govee's controller might be an interesting experiment. Keep the videos coming Chris, always look forward to seeing what you have coming up next.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Yeah that would be for sure something they could create more options for when 2 or 3 are synced together. I do at some point want to create a WLED version of the curtain lights. Something that's in my long list of projects I want to try lol. Thanks again!
@ChrisMaherDIY
If you don't mind me asking sir, Have you seen the lights are now in black wire not just white
@@ChrisMaherDIY
Also roughly how much in total was your spending on that whole set up
Exactly Sean, love the idea.
@@ChrisMaherDIY have you tried the WLED curtain lights? I've cut and tried with a DigUno that I had laying around and no go. Others have gotten it to work, I'll attempt with 8266. Doesn't seem as simple as their permanent lights.
Thank you so much! I was trying to figure out a solution for the curtain lights 🎉 And was thinking about adding lights to my column. I'm off to the store now! 😊
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Which curtain light do you have? There's different ones on Amazon. Some cost more than others but are all from Govee.
Amazing effects! Looks fantastic! Govee is dominating!
Simply impressive!!! Great video!
Thanks, you got me on those curtain lights. Just ordered those too.
nice, have a few Govee items and have been happy with the products they put out.
Really nice review & setup! Enjoyed it thanks!
Really like this product as it is easy to install and get into the Christmas spirit
Friggin sweet! You’re my hero! I wish my neighbor did something like this.
*AWESOME!* 😎
Thank you Chris.
Thanks as always buddy!!
Great, informative video! Thanks much Chris!
Great job thanks for sharing
This looks amazing. Now I need to add some curtain lights to the house.
Nice video of your display Chris. I’ve been using RGB strips last few years and just came across your channel. I’ve never heard of Govee before and the simplicity of the installation process. With the curtain lights, is it possible to program it with a countdown of days before Xmas? I will definitely look into Govee products for 2024 holiday season.
Love the light curtain over the garage door while still keeping the garage functional! Wondering how the light strings look when it's windy? Do they get all tangled from not being attached at the bottom?
Just purchased 3 of the curtains using your affiliate link. Thanks for your alternative solution on mounting this on the garage!
Thanks so much for watching and for the support!! Appreciate it! Hope you have a great day!
Great video, and I love that front seating area!
Absolutely incredible! 😊
Thanks so much buddy! Appreciate the support as always!
Very nice! Just picked up the 150ft non pro version of the outdoor lights thanks to your videos. Hooray for only climbing on a ladder one more time.
Lol yeah I HATE heights. Let me know what you think when its all set up!! You got them just in time for the holidays!
I like non pro better than the pro because more light's per ft, I installed them few days ago will fire them up on the weekend, also got 3 curtains lights and some led strip for my deck
this looks so nice!!!
Hi Chris this is really amazing! Just wondering that background music where the lights dances did you install speakers outside? Thanks for this inspiration btw!
I just installed 3 sets on my garage door tonight. I didn’t have track to place the lights in. I hot glued a magnet to the back of each support.Hopefully holds up to the cold temps. -5 Celsius 28 Fahrenheit.
I wish there were more options , timer or scenes when the curtains are spliced together. Thanks for the vid. It is a great idea. And works well.
That's a great idea! Love it! Yeah I hope they continue to build out the splicing functionality to include more options and integration! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Congratulations on Govee featuring your video on their FB page.
Awesome video! Convinced me to buy the combo Christmas light kit they just put on Amazon. One question though. What are the connectors that you lock the stripped wires into?
So great! Well done, sir!
Dory Hayes below answered one of my questions. I was also wondering how they do when it's cold and the plastic/wire is less flexible.
While these look fantastic, I live in Arizona and I'm curious how they would hold up in the heat. As well as our winter months which are, notably, much more mild than other states.
Can you do a video where you walk us through how you were able to create the light shows you displayed here! I think that would be very appreciated!
Bro I want this so bad! Looks incredible! Also great camera work
A list of the dreamview choices would be great. Your sequences are fantastic at the end
Thanks for watching! That's a good idea. Maybe I can do a follow up where I include the screen record so anyone can see the exact selection.
I'd definitely be interested in seeing this as well, along with a more detailed video about the curtain in general. My fiancée would love having our garage door set up like that, but I don't know how much of a pain it would be to set up in a way that wind wouldn't tangle it constantly, but that still allows the door to open and close.
Can’t wait for Christmas 2024!
Great video. I hope you have some outdoor cameras in case some kids try stealing all your lights. Keep the videos coming .. Thank you
Everyone came for the lights I’m here for the link to the diffuser channel you used for the curtain lights, 😂
Home Depot sells a 1/2” x 1/2” x 96” aluminum u-channel that I used. No need for adhesive in the channel. The light base fits nice and snug no issues!
@@nikkicarandang7477 thanks. Did you use command strips to attach it to the garage?
Definitely set up your mitre saw to cut that channel. Wouldn't want to tackle that bad boy with a hack saw
@@jasco927 no I used double sided adhesive because I plan to keep it there.
@@happybeerlove I had a portable band saw on hand so it made a nice clean cut 👌🏽
Great video. Can you post the apply govee option so we can use that curtain scene?
Excellent video as usual. Can you control every light ot are they in sets of 3?
Looks amazing! If you don't mind telling me what scenes are the ones being displayed at the beginning of the video.
You did a fabulous job.
What lights did you use on your porch posts? That looks totally awesome!
Thank you very much for your tutorials. I made a structure of 4000 LEDs
Outstanding thank you.
Do you think the string lights system that you made would work well around your housing trim?
it would be nice if they came out in australia
What speaker did you use to connect with lights? Direction/how to?
Hello Chris, love the inspiration. Was wondering on the 'crazy idea on install of curtain light on garage door' I was wondering the width and depth of the diffuser you used? Its around 15mm in depth as 18mm is far too wide?
I would be interested to see you come up with a diy version of these using WLED.
At some point I hope to do this! It would be a fun project for sure!!
Great details as always! Mine are on the way. I know they don’t have as much customization as WLED but curious what the most amount of programming is possible with Govee? Maybe a part 2 just playing with the in app features?
Thanks so much for watching! Yeah thats a good idea! There is a lot you can do with the govee app in terms of customization but I would say its a little bit more tedious of a process. I've found that they have enough options with their pre set ones that I haven't really had the desire to go too far down the diy section of their app.
@@ChrisMaherDIY I understand. Hoping I can get some good classic white twinkling effect options?
great video
Did u get rid of the rope lights you had on the patio? Looks great as always
Are the connectors between the strings on the pro the same as the original version?
I'm curious bc I just had the pros delivered and thinking about buying more of the third party extensions you used in the splicing video.
Hi when you use the dream view music to set up all the lights together.. are you able to select your own music?
Did you use any of Govee music or sync boxes to make the all work together? If so which sync box did you use? Thanks 🤙🏽
Hey Chris, Where do you get your music from? The best part about your videos are listening to the music and watching the lights. I'm really interested in listening to longer versions of the music. Thanks.
Very cool
Hi Chris. Do you happen to know the distance between each LED for the outdoor lights and the outdoor lights pro? Also, in terms of mounting options, can the LEDs be mounted with anything other than the sticky back? There is a mention of clips as an alternative for mounting the LEDs. Is that true?
Looks sweet. Great tutorial.
Thanks so much!
Hey Chris I’m super new and now just experimenting. When extending an led let’s say adding 16feet to an existing 16feet strip. What should I do to the power supply? Increase volts or amps ? I have the muzata 96 led you showcase not too long ago. And esp32 for wled. However you mentioned that the esp needs a 5 volt power supply. But the strip are 12 volt. Could I use a 5 volt 10amp to power the 32 feet?
Hey Chris! LOVE the lights! I just bought 3 of the curtain light sets to use on my garage door. Currently, it's fairly windy here. Any issues with the curtain lights in moderate wind? Any recommendation on how to attach the ends of the strands onto the door to keep them in place? I'm reading that others have their lights getting tangled and constantly need fixing.
Thanks so much for watching! A lot of times it's windy during the day here but usually does down at night. It takes me maybe 3 minutes to get them untangled so I don't mind. However If you didn't want to untangle them I think these would work well. amzn.to/3FZEoOQ I would install them maybe 12 inches from the bottom of each strand to keep them from crossing. That would be the first thing I would try!
I just finally got 2 sets of curtain lights. How did you get that playlist to go from individual presets to all 3 spliced?
I will be using the splice kits on the Pro version and then using the extension wire to the next set of eaves. Do I need to use the cut off lights after the extension or can I just plug the next string of lights in?
I have the curtain lights on my garage as well but living in Kansas where 40mph winds are the norm it's hard to keep them untangled. I really wish Govee would improve the linked mode for the curtain lights as they really pushed that feature as a selling point. Issue is they didn't make linked mode to act as a single unit where you could upload a gif and it play without issue, your stuck using their prebuilt scenes.
Thanks so much for watching! Yeah I hope they continue to add things and capabilities to the curtain lights because there really is so much you can do with these!
Build a frame and attach the lights directly to it.
I was thinking the exact same thing and that is why I decided to wait on these as our Canadian winds will just keep blowing them around unless I use a lot of sticky tape. I did buy all the other products. Prime day had some great sales on these lights.
You could get magnet loops for the bottom of the strands. That's what I'm going to try with ours because of wind as well
I was mad about the utter lack of linked curtain options too.
Have you tried adding the Govee pathway lights ?
Can you use WLED on the xmas light strings?
Very nice!
did you buy the light box to for the light show ?
I hope Govee is hooking you up, they're going to sell a ton of lights, I'm thinking about going to Florida to install these on my mom's house
Just curious how did you end up connecting the lights to power adapters for the individual pillars?
Can you attach the string lights to one another or do they have to be plugged in individually?
Is the music sync work with the Christmas light mode?
Do you have speakers set up outdoors?
great install! u didnt do anything to secure the lights to the garage door at the bottom?
What do you hook the lights up to to play different affects
Awesome man! Some of those scenes are quite gaudy but whatever, blinky lights are so fun haha. The garage and curtain lights really look amazing with the animations. Cost is a problem as I believe I would be looking at $500+ just to do front of my house 2 sets. Same with Christmas tree lights. Expensive. Govee and Hue are not cheap lights but both seem to be high quality and that’s means they cost more.
Thanks so much for watching! Yeah its not cheap but I think they are going after the market of people that pay to have a company come out and install lights like this on their house. The cheapest I could find in my area to just install the equivalent of the permanent outdoor lights was $2,500 dollars. The cost of everything from govee on my house is around $1,000 dollars and took me about 4 hours to install everything.
Good point. I was thinking the same regarding neighbors who pay to have lights installed. I always wondered how much they pay. $2500 for Christmas lights. Crazy.
Expensive? Seems cheap for what it does. 10 yrs ago something like this might have cost multiple thousands.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Bullet pixels are dirt cheap but you do have to put in the time and labor into wiring and setting everything up. I think these puck lights are a bit absurd at $400 for 60 LEDs especially when you consider that you're locked into the Govee ecosystem and can only control them the way they want you to.
Great video, Chris. These lights look awesome, I have a question can these curtain lights be controlled with WLED app for Pixel animations?
EDIT:
Well I did watch thus again and see that it will work so I assume it will do the curtain also, thanks again for all your helping videos 😊
Hey where did you get the thunder effects for the string lights
The track you used for the curtains, muzata ones, does the track need to be as deep as it is, meaning the deep one? Or can we get the more shallower one instead no one that's like half the price?
Can you explain the 12 foot extension on the Govee Pro lights? Looks like you used to go from the 1st floor to 2nd floor however that looks shorter than 12’. How did you hide the excess? It cannot be shortened?
For the garage how do you keep the cables above when you open and close the garage? When it opens doesn’t it require more cable as the top of the garage door rises, then when closing the cables tension would release of course causing much more slack. I’m trying to figure out that out now cause when the garage door up it’s fine but once it’s down all the excess wire gets in the way and I have to halfway open the door to pull them back up and straighten them out. Just seeing if you had any ideas
Where did you plug in each of the 4 sets of string lights around the pillars?
Masterpiece
Is there a way to get the splice adapters for the standard Govee lights?
I have the curtain lights and the original permanent lights. Will I need the outdoor music box to sync these?
Looks great ,i would like to do my garage door
Hey Chris, is it possible or is there one out there that I don’t know of, of a playlist of all your music? It’s my absolute favorite.
The Pro kit lumen per pod is higher. Dont need as many light pods as the regular kit to illuminate the same area.
Is that a light curtain on the garage door? Also did you have to use 2 or is there one big enough for a 2 car garage?
Happy Holidays, Chris. I'm going to purchase an outdoor permanent Pro 200'. My question: Can I have (2) 9' Extensions in the line without losing signal strength? Thank you.
If you have any extra diffuser channels maybe you could find a way to attach them to each of the bottom lights on the curtain lights to provide some weight on the strings. It could help weigh them down or you could even stick them to door like the top row so the strings stay straight and prevent any tangling if there is any wind. It also could help the lights stay facing forward. Just a thought. Keep up the great work!
That's a really good idea!! Someone mentioned that where they live is windy and they get tangled all the time so that would solve that problem! Probably would just have to use something different than 3m tape with the extra weight but that would be easy to find something else! Thanks for watching!
@@ChrisMaherDIY given that the garage door bends, you may need to have 2 or 3 horizontal mid-rails that have some slack, or a series of spacers, guides/loops that can hold the vertical lengths/strings where the grid should be.
It might be better to have a series of horizontal guides for each garage door panel, so that if someone grabs the string to cause trouble, eg cats, dogs, small children, the grid alignment has some slack, but also won't pull the rest of the string down. I guess it depends how hard it is to repair a single string, or have to salvage after someone walks past with scissors at 2am for halloween.
I have an idea for this. You make a long piece of thin wood that you paint white and you hot glue the bottom of the curtain lights to this, then you adhere some stretch material on the back side of this wood plank and connect that stretch material to the underside of the bottom of the garage door so it comes on the inside of the garage and you affix to the inside of the garage panels, you make it lightly taught with the garage closed and when you open the garage the stretch material allows it to stretch as needed without affecting the lights, because it's the stretch material that is expanding and not the lights. If hot glue won't hold the lights you could staple each row of lights to the wood plank and paint over the staples with white paint as well.
I've seen this concept of stretch material with banners you can put on your garage and figure that would work perfect with the govee curtain lights.
Was thinking of the same idea.
