Here’s 2”. That’s all I had to work with (life story) More on reddit.com

Just wanted to contribute my 2 cents. Tried doing DIY lights two years back and twisted my ankle getting off the ladder. Not doing that again. I ended up getting Astoria Lighting to install permanent lights the following year and they look way better than the DIY lights I used last year. More on reddit.com

I don't have the permanent outdoor lights but I have some other Govee outdoor lights and I just wouldn't use adhesive outdoors at all… Isn't the problem not with how strong it is right now, but how it deals with high humidity wet conditions and temp changes breaking down adhesive? Even heavy duty tape will eventually fail...and look kind of messy, I would think. Most stuff outdoors I screw in or use a staple gun with large U clips. Sometimes I get creative with zip ties if there's an opening. More on reddit.com

Bought 200 ft of the Govee Pro Permanent Outdoor Lights this last September with the intention of adding another 100 ft soon. It took 30 hours to install all of them because I have a bit of OCD and they had to be perfect! Anyhow, in mid-October the lights began malfunctioning by flashing several times then stopped working. I traced the problem to the power supply. I could not find where Govee sells additional power supplies separately, so I reached out to Govee for a solution. They gave me a checklist of things to try, but the lights would not self-correct. Clair, the Govee rep, asked about the details of my lights (type, length, etc) and proof of purchase through Amazon. Clair said she would take care of the problem but didn’t say how she would handle it. I was hoping for another power supply. Three days later, I received another 200 lights, mounting clips, power supply and power booster! I was absolutely stunned when the box came, via UPS. I immediately pulled the old power supply and plugged in the new one. All the lights work as they should! The only thing to do now is hang the additional 100 ft of lights that I received for FREE❗️Customer for life now❗️❗️❗️❗️ More on reddit.com
