I’m holding out for the Christmas light Gatling gun from the Grinch.

This is exactly what I’ve been trying to find. Every reason you give is what I’ve been wanting to do. Keep them up year round. Programmable colors and patterns for all the holidays and occasions. Auto on/ Very nice

I love how much research he did and all the detail he is giving us like the instructions, links and resources, and even an estimator tool. This guy needs a raise

This is a very clean look that enables year round function. But when it comes to christmas lights, I put up SO MANY, this would not be able to compete. But I do enjoy how clean this looks.

I did this, this year. I was going to go with everlights as well but decided to build my own DIY kit. I was able to do everything including trimming around the garage for about $500. Picked up 110v argb led in weatherproof silicone (164ft) for about $200. I went with the 110v instead of 5, 12, or 24v so I didn't have to worry about power injection. All mounted in a thin aluminum channel, and I wired them to a Bluetooth Controller that has an app. It turned out amazing, and I prefer the brightness and more solid runs the led strip provides. The aluminum channeling was about the same price as the rope light and the Bluetooth controllers were about $30 each and can sync together. I think if I move though the option you went with is what I'll be doing next. Their Bluetooth app is definitely superior.

This is much more in line with what I wanted on my new home. Looks much closer to traditional holiday lights.

I've been noodling on this exact project for a few weeks, so this video is very timely for me.
Thanks!

This is awesome! I used the calculator and $3K+ for my house... That's a big jump from $7-$10 per 25 ft of string lights 🤪. I wish. To everyone installing this: congrats!

I don't have a house of my own yet. But This is how it's done! The worst thing of the holiday season, is putting up the lights. This mitigates that entirely, and is brilliant!

Awesome video! Wish I found this sooner, but now I have added yet another project for my home. Thank you!

Oh... there WILL be maintenance... having 4 wires means one is a CLK and when one pixel dies data will continue to pass - but pixels will go out. More annoying will be when 1 color in a pixel goes out.

You could have done this yourself for even less. Depending on the controller you could have far more control over them.

It looks awesome, I’m just weary that companies like that sometimes don’t last and they discontinue the app making the lights useless . People say that will
Never happen the app will still work but I had something similar to hue lights before hue was popular and they let you dim any house light with their app as long as you plugged it into their product and after three years they disappeared and the app stopped working . I learned they went out of business and had to junk all the products I bought .

That's pretty sweet man. I've been looking for a solution like this.

How resistant to UV damage are these LEDs? Leaving lights up year round brings a susceptibility to sun damage.

I never have to take mine down either because I never put any up. It's the cheapest way and hassle free.
