I was looking for a video like this! I need some perimeter security lights that double as holiday/party lights. this would work for me, thank you for this video and idea
Excellent explanation and video. At the 8:15mark you ran a 14g iwire for power injection, you just connected the 14g wire to the very end of your your LED lights right? you dint daisy chain like to 100ft and then connect the other set of lights the the 14g wire to extend am i correct. Essentially you powered the led light strip from the beginning and also at the very end of the light strip? Can the Wled controller be integrated with matter/zigbee o integrate to Homekit or homeassistant? Also can this be done with a LED light strip, have you come across a product or lightstrips that can be used and also have the same usecases as you do. thanks for taking the time
As far as I know, lumary's new MAX eave lights can each support independent control, and what's more amazing is that their 5 in 1 bead RGB+WW+CW beads are all assembled on a bead, which you can buy to compare with eufy eave lights, You'll be surprised at the results!
I'm planning on buying three sets of the 100 ft E120. Can all of them be connected in one strand using WLED and the power injection methods you shared? Thanks!
@@BreakItYourself Is there a max distance between LED pucks? I'm having distance issues between LED pucks. I've verified all strands work with stock Eufy controllers but if wired with WLED controller, the power source you recommended, and wiring description, I'm still having issues with a 20 ft distance between pucks. Thanks for your help.
I want to do this with the YPS track kit on my fence. But I need 410 feet of lights and idk which power supply or controller would safely work for that long of a run. Plus it would be stupid expensive for me. Sad day.
Im confused and it’s my lack of tech knowledge. Simple question can I hook up (3) 50’ and have them work with each other simultaneously with no issues. Without all the fancy little boxes u have? Thanks in advance
I just continued the string from the fence onto the swing set then back to the fence as one continuous string. So essentially the swing set is an out and back loop in the fence string. I used the same clamps and no issues with the kids yet.
Where do the power supply and LED controller sit? I'm assuming you have a home lab of some sort, or is there a weatherproof box at the end of the run outside?
You shouldn't power inject both ends toward each other or it conflicts. You should find the center and cut off the + copper pad so each line strip is receiving equal power but not colliding in the center.
Let me tell you smart guy these lights are a nightmare!! My neighbor has these stupid lights 9 ft up in her tree. They are so flipping bright it lights up my entire yard! There are many counties that have an ordinance against light pollution, just like offensive noise and smells. Go a head and make your neighbors hate you.
@@tracydean3678 Well time to play that game. Install a chinese daylight flood light and point it at her windows as long as it lights up your yard a little bit. :)

Can this be done with Govee Deck Lights as well ? I have a similar problem with multiple power supplies and extensions.
Find a 3D printed bracket for your model. I bought specifically printed 3D brackets for my Govee permanent lights and they are amazing.
I'm looking for these for Govee 2s - where did you find yours?

Wow !

How did you get power to the swing set and did you use similar clamps to secure the wire so the kids don’t mess with it?
I just continued the string from the fence onto the swing set then back to the fence as one continuous string. So essentially the swing set is an out and back loop in the fence string. I used the same clamps and no issues with the kids yet.
@@BreakItYourself great idea, thanks for the response!

Weatherproof box. It’s linked in the description.
I seen your sign out front. I am now a subscriber
😍😍😍
you injected power to both the end & beginning? do you have any diagram of how this looks?
Yep. I’ll get the diagram updated and send you the link

I used a cable stapler properly spaced between wire and wood …. Just have to be extra careful.
How much does this add to the electric bill?
basically nothing
@@BreakItYourselfwow. I know my bill goes up for Christmas lights. That’s nice. Do you have these lights on all the time?
Why the hell would i want to wow my neighbors. I hate them.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 maybe they’ll be so wowed that they’re ashamed of their lighting and move away
You're a very nasty neighbor who has no sense of common courtesy. Hope your neighbor sues you.
Looks tacky without hiding the spot light directly after the led
You get a like yard sign !
Are those govee's knock off or govee copied them? Same exact picture on the box as govee....
Lol really? I assume govee was first but honestly don't know.
Bro ! I’m with you bro 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Your sign 🪧👍🏽👍🏽 , Blk Vets for “T” ….🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Did you ask your neighbour for permission before sitting something over their side of the fence
No. The fence is on top of a retaining wall inside my property line. There are double fences on two sides also.
Looks like I’d be annoyed by it if I was a neighbor.
you might consider living off grid in the woods, then 😅
@@kuwtn Either in the woods or a strict HOA. Not sure why you would care if your neighbor had lights in their backyard.
@@vinstinct 🎯
Lol wut
Then look at all the time you will have on your hands now that you don’t have to look for something to be annoyed with.
Too much effort for the mid look.
Twss

Just talk to your neighbor. Tell them to come over to your house at night. I'm sure they will understand once they see
@@jm8997 We did talk to her and she still won't turn them off. Seems she's doubling down, doesn't want to be told no.
@tracydean3678 I'm sorry to hear that. What happened to friendly neighbors?
