This is exactly what I was thinking about. Very clean install!

[@5sunny01]

Glad I could help

[@carlosm809]

Thanks for the video, I received a quote for professional install of 12k for the whole house. Your genius idea is the way to go, best DIY install on TH-cam. Thank you!

[@5sunny01]

I’m glad I was able to help :) thank you for your comment and support

[@rashadhillsman]

This is freaking genius 👏🏾 just ordered the kit waiting on it to arrive now I think I want it installed this way

[@5sunny01]

I love it :)

[@aneye4aneye977]

@Sunny sharif , thanks for the video and earlier reply. I did go with a diff kit but large equivalent and so glad I didn’t go medium. Perfect fit with trimming four snips for each pixel. Though I did tear off each trim peice around each light for aesthetics. Painted sides and tops. Looks so amazing and seamless I knew my HOA would go for the bare wires. Super thanks!!!

[@aneye4aneye977]

Oh also masked the domes and painted the white around the pixels. Wish I knew how upload a pic

[@chrislemmer8883]

That looks so clean.

[@5sunny01]

Thank you :)

[@phillipgoetz6814]

I love this idea. I bought some and when I try to put the govee pro outdoor lights into the channel the light is just barely to wide. Are you doing anything else besides cutting out a notch and putting back on the cover? Does the notch in the raceway not impact the cover back on it being "flush"? I doesnt look like it in the video.

[@rcovalt]

Damn I wish I’d seen this before my install

[@Leies29]

What area do you live in? Im just curious how the pvc will hold up to heat. Even if it doesnt warp, im wondering how much it will expand/contract with temperature changes. Thanks for the video

Anyone have a solution to mount along a roofline with no sofffit / drip edge? I have a cathedral style roofline, so on 2 sides of the house it’s just the roof flush with the wall. Do they make any L channels to either slide under the roof shingle edge or attach to the side of the exterior wall and point them down?

[@aneye4aneye977]

One more thing, my kit was 15@ 16.9x1.18x.60 (254” $19.99) vs yours 14@ 15.7x1.18x.63 (220” $19.99). I regretfully say I had more waste in length and the .60 vs .63 left a bulging effect around the weatherproof connections.

I dont get why the amazon seller limit the purchase of the Raceway Channels T^ T,, any subsitute? i couldnt find one wide like this

[@hnz]

Thanks for sharing, it's indeed cleaner! Did you get the large or XL?

[@5sunny01]

yourwelcome I did the Large, link in the description. thank you for your support

[@32toddv]

Can you post what they look like on installed in that channel. First time I've seen someone use a channel for the govee lights.

[@5sunny01]

Yes at the end of the video there are some pictures showing how they look like

[@aerie53]

Sunny, what is the width of the raceway; Amason has Medium, large, and X-Large, I am thinking large but I want to be sure. Thank you

[@5sunny01]

Hi Aerie, here is the direct link amzn.to/3sYDFug
It’s the large one

[@rockyparise]

Love this idea! Do you have to cut the covers? If so what do you cut them with?

[@5sunny01]

Yes very little and you can use any 5 dollars snip cutter from harbor freight. .45 inch needs to be cut so very little waste

[@rockyparise]

@@5sunny01 Just completed my install! It was a lot of labor but it worked like a charm and looks professional/custom. Thanks again!

[@5sunny01]

@@rockyparise I’m glad it worked out send some pictures

[@camoes11]

Looks great! Did you come across a raceway to fit the pro? Those are 18.5” between the lights.

[@alexandrypena14]

This is the problem I'm having any luck

[@user-hf4pz1vn2f]

Are these the standard govee permanent lights or the pro versions. Looking at doing install on my house this spring. Renting a bucket lift. I measured my govee pros and they measure 1 3/8" which would be too large for the channel you have used.

[@stevej4326]

Those are the standard lights. You can tell by the puck design and since you can see the 3 wires together. The pro looks like a single wire with an more rounder light puck

[@PeteyPablo408]

What size raceway Chanel did you get medium or the large and how many did you have to buy? I only plan on using about 2 to 3 inches per led just enough for it to stick nicely flat. I just installed 3 segments today and some are already falling because my soffits are similar to yours mine have bumbs where the holes were punched out

[@5sunny01]

Here is the correct size link:
amzn.to/3T6URbI
It’s a large size, how many ft are you trying to do?

[@PeteyPablo408]

@5sunny01 thanks it's 150ft kit but I don't think I will run the channel all the way around like you did maybe just enough to get each led a flat surface to stick to I already installed 3 strands and out of those I have about 9 leds hanging already I might have to stop at Homedepot tomorrow and see if they have those so I can fix them before they all fall. Curious how many ft did you do and how many did you use for the wrap around 🤔

[@joseluisperezjr3285]

I actually thought about this , just thought it was way to expensive to cover my house since these kits come with minimal coverage. Figured if i was gonna spend a couple more bucks , id honestly just rather pay for a professional install

[@5sunny01]

Actually I have 250ft of lights and I only got 13 box and total 245 but they look so good and clean, better than just bare wires hanging

[@joseluisperezjr3285]

@5sunny01 your absolutely right about the clean look , probably the best instal I've seen to date

[@aneye4aneye977]

@@5sunny01love the install and idea. However, I’m super cheap and at nearly half the cost per linear ft, I’m considering the medium. Do you think this would be a horrible decision on my part?

[@5sunny01]

@@aneye4aneye977 medium would work but it won’t be as seamless. Lights will be bigger and the medium will only hide the wire

[@feliperuas8857]

Good for a year or 2.. but those are indoor channels not UV coated. Aluminum would’ve been a better option for a more permanent install

[@5sunny01]

Great point! That’s a pVC and under overhang so not directly exposed to the sun, also PVC has minimal affect of UV

[@user-cj6tx8qw9b]

would you like to get some nice outdoor solar lights？

[@5sunny01]

What kind of lights?

[@user-cj6tx8qw9b]

@@5sunny01 Can i have your email? i will sent photo to you

[@surfer8210]

I haven’t seen a solar light yet which I’ve liked.

[@floridaman5125]

Seems like overkill.
