Great information thank you. I see you have permeant puck looking light attached to your soffits, how are they attached? I bought some puck lights and channels however the channel is thinner and does not reach the top of the soffit where is touches the roof - if that makes any since. I would like them to be flush with the lower part of the soffit like yours. Did you attach to the soffits with small screws (I'm concerned if one breaks I will have soffit damage that will never look right even after fixing it.) , get taller channels or use some sort of mount?
So I used the RGB Trim from Mattos Designs. I used that really do to the quality of the pixels they offered with it. As for how it was mounted, I had the house cleaned (pressure washed) and then I screwed them into the soffit. The soffit has vents on it as part of the airflow that goes into my attic and then out the attic vents to provide natural circulation. There are 2 or 3 screws in every meter length section and if I ever removed them, those screw holes are not that different that the perforations that already exist in my soffit, so I'm not too concerned there. I have another video of the whole display walk through that may show what you are wanting to see better. Thanks for watching and reaching out.
@@ThomasFamilyLightShowAre your soffits sallow? Mine are 3 inches deep which will put the puck lights above the end of the soffit so they will not be level. I think I will need to get deeper channels so they go all the way up of design some brackets. Thank you for the reply.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Mine should be visible int he videos for you to compare. I'm assuming if you are mounting the lights behind something that could block the light, given your soffits are 3" deep, then you would need to be aware of where you position them close to the edge or close the the house to ensure you get the right wash on the house or visibility from the appropriate viewing angle you are planning for.
