@@32toddv idk what you did wrong then, cause i got 3m tape everywhere and i actually had some on the wall to hold a clip id put the dog leash on which i didnt clean, and it held up to her tugging when she was 15lbs, when she got close to 20lbs she pulled the clip off the wall, WITH some drywall and i aint ever clean the wall clip I had the 3m tape holding led strips on my motorcycle and they survived getting soaked in gas, oil, and rain without ever even starting to peel off, and boy were those hard to rip off when the chinese leds died out, and the strips were caked in so much oil and dirt that they were no longer visible We at the shop had what was probably about 20yr old 3m tape holding on those smoker's window guards on an old vette and the only way we could get them off was with a razorblade for the bulk and paint thinner for the rest (the paint thinner couldnt ever eat factory clearcoat, but would strip off spraypaint) So bud, i have NO clue what your problem was..... perhaps you didnt allow it to dry out enough or perhaps you had bad tape.... if they sit in a warehouse long enough the humidity kills the adhesive, but only if it hadnt been applied to a surface, which got me some refunds in the past on old led kits which were never sticky enough to ever even stick
You should try the Govee Curtain Lights. Basically a simpler, cheaper version that you use indoors. I just found out about both of these lights tonight and they are dope! Definitely getting them for Christmas.
There is a new model coming out it's the Permanent Outdoor Lights Pro model H706C. I am currently testing them out. Biggest difference I see is they come in a 60m or 196', this is what they sent me vs the 150'. Also they are able to be spliced. They sent some connectors to allow the splicing. So far so good.
@jeves360 Do you have the specs on the pro version? I'm an electrician so I'm comfortable cutting/extending the original strand. If there is no difference I'll just buy the original ones which are on sale
@@hbfarmstead8031 unfortunately no, I reached out and asked them for more info for my "review" and got nothing. They look exactly the same as the current model. I am guessing beefier power supply as it comes in a 200' model vs the 150' max from before. Maybe a little brighter but no way to tell unless side by side.
thank you for you awesome review can you please tell us which is better earbuds or the in ear headphones and which is better in term of sound quality sennheiser momentum 3 tws vs Sennheiser CX 350BT thank you very much
Very well done and informative video. I installed a set these on the upper roof line of our house a few weeks ago. I did, however, get additional clear clips (one clip within an inch or so of each LED and one half-way between to prevent cord sag) and all clips are screwed in to the aluminum soffit.
Thanks for the the video. I purchased a bunch of these sets months ago. Just need to install them now 😂. Did you run into any issues with the installation?
Nah not really. If I did it again I would probably use a ruler or something to measure where to place each light. Mine are a little crooked because I was just eyeball-ing it. You can't tell at night, though.
What about different levels of roof? Are there blank extensions or just have odd lights here and there? Govee pics makes it look like there are no hidden lights.
Please help! My lights are turning on by themselves randomly. They are not connected to any home automation and no timers are set! Any idea on how to fix this issue? Thank you
Does anyone have any recommendations for Stucco ? The best info I have found is adding ca glue and accelerator to the 3m Beyond that I’m considering construction adhesive as well
I like the product but am not willing to install them unless I can hide the cords between the bulbs. Does anyone have a recommendation for an aluminum or vinyl track? I recognize a track would need to have holes drilled for each bulb but I'm willing to do that to hide the cords. I will paint the track to match my soffit color.
Was curious if you found anything? I had a customer who had this exact thing and thought it looked so much nicer. But they had no clue where the electricians they hired got them from. I have hardie plank siding. So I highly doubt this 3M strip will hold at all. So I've basically accepted I'll have to staple or screw the cable down
question Mr Ceon, my eaves are plywood with a layer of stucco on top, how good do u think the adhesiveness will be on stucco? And what prep do i need to do for it?, Thanks

Love how you structured this video and how you explained everything! New sub! And also def considering these lights even more now!
I highly recommend super glueing and or stapling the wires down. Govee did not account for heat and cold contracting and expanding in the 3m adhesive.
Dont just wipe with wet cloth.... use 90% rubbing alcohol to actually clean the surface first
Yes sir, I did... And out 1 clip per light.

Hmmm never heard of these before but now you've got me thinking...
Solid review and testing my guy, keep it up!

when is it coming out? i almost hit purchase on amazon
@@dkz Honestly have no idea yet. Or the price point. Im thinking around $550 to $650 easily. Comparing it to the current model.
@@dkz They said the beginning of November

Hi is the power adapter and control box weather proof or water resistant?
Thank you for another great one! 👍
First like from Portugal
Great! I need window lights.
I put Goove outside lights & a strip on my car port MY MAMA SAID IT LOOKED LIKE A CORNER LIQUOR STORE ‘ Yo bro 🤣
thank you for you awesome review can you please tell us which is better earbuds or the in ear headphones and which is better in term of sound quality sennheiser momentum 3 tws vs Sennheiser CX 350BT thank you very much
I have a older house that doesn't have much or any eves. How would these look on my house?
Ceon, ThanksMuch!
Lol.
I live in Wisconsin.
-4F is not good enough.
My house is similar, did the lights reach around the whole house or did you have to buy extra? Did you get the 100ft or 150ft?
I used two 100ft kits and had two strips of lights left over. So technically I used around 170ft.

@@CEONTHEMAKING awesome! Thanks for the reply.
Govee recommends 5 - 10 cm from wall but yours look further than that. Any issues?
Nope no issues, so far.
I did mine a little further way also than the instructions said. I like the bigger rounder scallop look it makes a bit farther away.
What about different levels of roof? Are there blank extensions or just have odd lights here and there? Govee pics makes it look like there are no hidden lights.
the 100ft and 150ft options come with one extension each. But they also have extensions you can buy.
Please help! My lights are turning on by themselves randomly. They are not connected to any home automation and no timers are set! Any idea on how to fix this issue? Thank you
Does anyone have any recommendations for Stucco ? The best info I have found is adding ca glue and accelerator to the 3m
Beyond that I’m considering construction adhesive as well
Can these lights be use for a in ground pool , and would the 3m adhesive hold under water
I doubt it
Thank you for your reply 👍🏻
How did you get the lights from the bottom of the triangle to the inside of the triangle? Did it just go over there eve? Thanks
Received your message another question do you have someone in the Pennsylvania area that install?
Looks like you may have done 5-10 inches. 5-10cm is only 2-4in
How many clips come with the kit? I’m not a big fan of 3M to be the sole installer
I asked about the cold and Govee told me the controller would be the issue if it goes colder than recommended.
Great review bro, very creative and thought out!
Thanks!
Would you please insert amazon link to Europe? (Spain would be great)
Those were amazing tests...I'm sold
What happens if one of the lights stop working?
You'd have to replace that section. Depending on your setup you might have some leftover or you'd have to buy some additional.
this is what i was looking for so thank you.

Where do you live? Im worried if they will work in Chicago's winter!😮
Missouri
Can the light bulbs be replaced or will the whole cable be replaced after 50,000 hours
No you can't replace the bulbs, they come in 16ft sections, so you'd have to replace the section that's not working.
What is the distance between lights?
great test!
question Mr Ceon, my eaves are plywood with a layer of stucco on top, how good do u think the adhesiveness will be on stucco? And what prep do i need to do for it?, Thanks
I'd say it's best suited for a smooth surface. Installing on stucco is probably a gamble.
@@CEONTHEMAKING I figured that much, it's a shame
You could always use your own adhesive. Peel off the 3M tape and use Gorilla glue, etc.
Wire looks tacky
Very pleased with my lights. They have been up almost 4 months now in the heat of the southeast US. No issues!
It was 102 when i installed mine! So far, so good.
