Nice video explaining the features and installation. Did you consider starting at the peak to balance the lights evenly/equidistant from the peak? When I saw you installing that was a concern, but the end result seems to be fine.
Eufy doesn’t sell any extensions separately unfortunately. Also, be careful extending more than what they supply. Too much resistance could be added with a longer stretch of extension wire. That being said, I did cut and extend about 10’ more and had no issues. I just used 16 AWG 3 wire that is rated for outdoors. Not the best solution but not too hard if you’re handy.
I was able to reach out to there support and purchase another extension cord for $15 but just kind of annoying and still waiting for the package to arrive
I too desperately want eufy to give the option to duplicate / combine settings across 2 or more sets, makes it very hard to get the customization the same across both sets
I had a boom lift rented to do mine. The rental company flaked out and I had to end up using a ladder. I meant to mention all this in the video, but I recommend getting a lift if you can. Unless you have a ranch style home or something.
According to Eufy, these cannot be cut. The controller only recognizes them in their 10 LED segments. I will say though that I tested this and the lights still worked if cutting off, for example, 2 LEDs from a strip. The app still thinks they are connected so your light patterns will be a little off. Things acted a little wonky when doing this, so I didn’t leave it like that, I ended up splicing them back on. Do this at your own risk and you will probably void the warranty. They can, however, be cut and extended up to an extra 12’ using your own extension wires. Do this at your own risk as Eufy says not to cut them at all.
I agree, I wish they could be, but as you can see from my video, I still managed to cut and extend them to have a clean look. Just have to plan to end with a full strip at the end. But I definitely understand. The govee pro lights allow to be cut to size fully. But they are double the price I believe.
I haven’t personally tested govee, so here’s a link to a great comparison video done by @TheHookUp ua-cam.com/video/DM-VhGarNgM/v-deo.htmlsi=-u-zymk3aj6PKMbM
The Hook Up has some good info and instructions on how to control the Eufy lights with the WLED DigQuad controller, though he doesn't say whether he can control multiple strings as one string. His pinned comment on the comparison video talks about this and links to a separate video specifically about the setup. I posted a question about the potential of controlling multiple Eufy sets with one WLED controller. ua-cam.com/video/DM-VhGarNgM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=TheHookUp ua-cam.com/video/F7IhSKJ41rU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=TheHookUp
Yes I saw those videos and will be converting to those controllers in the future. In WLED, I believe you can combine two different strips into one. Either that, or I could extend wires up to the top box and wire them up as one so long as I leave the power injected at that point.
Yeah They Beautiful but when u got the Envious Neighbors doing Everything u do ......That can get quite expensive when u the Jones's! Know what I mean. I Hate my area! Braindead people!
Jump on the Black Friday sale now $100 off! amzn.to/3Re2Gep
Just installed some, I need another run set to complete the whole house. I need another two bundles I hate I can’t run them together as one unit.
Can you splice or cut to length??

That was certainly an afterthought. If I were to do it again, I would start at the peak. Thanks for the input!
Nice job ! Looks great. Great explanation about installation and operation. Merry Christmas I hope they update software to run multiple units as one.
Nice job I love your videos😊
Have you looked into or happen to know where to find another extension cord?

@@TaylorTech I have about a 10’ section to jump over to the last part of my roof. I appreciate the response!
You should be good then!

@@patricktsao6541 I did the same thing. They said 5-7 business days.
Looks nice but hanging down light do look better than just light stuck flat..
I agree for the holidays, but since these will be up year round, I certainly don’t want hanging lights all year.

i think im going to purchase these but i dont know if a ladder is gonna work for me lol but ill figure that part out

See, this is a deal breaker for me. They are permanent led lights but what's the point if you can't customize to size for a clean look? Smh
@@Ruthlessbonethe Govee Pro lights are what you need

What is difference between Eufy and Govee ?
