    • Honest Review and "how...
    One thing I did before I mounted everything was hang the lights the way I was thinking I wanted to hang them to make sure I didn’t have extra lights or came up short when stringing it along. Once I hung the lights in a way that I knew would be perfect I then decided to mount everything and hang lights.

    Wow! This video was EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for! Just bought the same lights from Costco and I have no clue how to install them correctly. God bless you for creating this video - greatly appreciated. 🙏

    Great job and thanks for the tips on how to place them so they are not permanent. As a renter, this is very handy especially if a bad storm is heading in. By the way, I am typing this as Hurricane Hilary is expected to hit California. Sending good vibes your way that you & your family stay safe.
    Edited to add that you could always spray paint the clamps to blend in & they won’t be so noticeable.

    • @MiezProduction
      @MiezProduction  Рік тому +2

    • @MiezProduction
      @MiezProduction  Рік тому +3

      There is a cap that you plug into it which will cover the outlet if you don’t plan on using another strand of lights. I ended up wrapping it with electrical tape to make sure no water gets into it.

    • @nickpearce2968
      @nickpearce2968 Рік тому +3

      ​@@MiezProductionlooks great. However after having these Costco lights for 3 years, the bulbs frequently burn out and they shatter because they eventually weaken from UV leaving shards on the ground - these will be in your pool. I'm going to do the same project but run solar lights. Safety and reliability concerns are reduced. However, it looks fantastic the way you have set it up.

    The lights look great. Question: the lighting im looking for is what you had @ 6:40 but I noticed as it got darker the lights became brighter @ 7:09. Im not sure if it's your camera angle but if those lights remain the way they are @ 6:40 as it got darker, ill be making my purchase tomorrow. May you please confirm? Thanks

    • @MiezProduction
      @MiezProduction  Рік тому +1

      It’s probably just the camera as I filmed it all with my phone and it autocorrects. Another person emailed me that he bought a dimmer to connect to his lights so he can adjust the brightness. So there’s that option if it is indeed to bright for you.

We are attaching UNDER an Over Hang COVE that is HARD to Drill into, YOUR IDEA Saves Our Ass's, so we only have to Drill on either END ... Thx ... P.S. I was Born in Sun Valley, grew up in the Valley, Porter Ranch, SIMI and Ventura ... While watching, I commented look's like Simi Valley, 5 sec later YOU said SIMI, My Son cracked up ... Had any problems with Weathering on WIRE? Currently in UT, facing SOUTH, Summer Blazing, Winter SNOW ... Maybe look for a TREATED Wire? THANKS!
