GOVEE PERMANENT LIGHT INSTALLATION
By Foothill Pressure Washing
Professional Govee Permanent Outdoor Lighting — Installed to Manufacturer
We install Govee Elite, Pro, and RGBIC systems with precision, durability, and artistry — so you can enjoy year-round smart lighting with confidence
Govee Product Highlights
- Models / Variants: Govee offers various permanent outdoor lighting systems including Pro and RGBIC / RGBICW lines.
- Brightness / White Options: The Pro models produce up to ~50 lumens per light, with tunable white (warm and cool) plus full RGB color capability.
- Weather & Durability: Their lights use anti-UV materials, rated IP67 waterproof (for the light strips) and typically IP65 for control modules. They are rated for extreme temperatures (–4 °F to 140 °F) and long lifespans (tens of thousands of hours) under proper installation.
- Cutting & Splicing: Pro models are designed to be cut and re-spliced with waterproof connectors (every ~16.4 ft) for custom runs.
- Mounting / Installation Guidance: The manufacturer recommends using VHB adhesive tape + mounting clips, spacing the lights ~2–4 in from the wall surface (or eaves) to allow airflow.
- Smart Controls:Â Govee systems often support the Govee Home app, voice assistants (Alexa, Google Assistant), and Matter protocol (depending on variant).
Our Approach
INSTALLED TO GOVEE'S STANDARDS
- Site Survey & Lighting Design
- We map your roofline, fascia, soffits, architectural features, and power access points.
- We calculate optimal light spacing, voltage drop, and extension or splice spots to stay within Govee’s electrical limits.
- Mounting Strategy
- We use a combination of VHB adhesive tape (as Govee supplies) plus mechanical clips / brackets / stainless screws (where allowed) to ensure security under wind, temperature changes, and weather cycles.
- We mount strips 2–4 inches from the wall where required for ventilation and drainage, as recommended.
- Use proper corner routing (if needed) with gentle bends (no kinks) or use manufacturer-approved connectors.
- Cutting, Splicing & Waterproofing
- For Pro models, we cut only at approved intervals and use waterproof splice kits at junctions.
- All splice joints are sealed and tested for continuity and moisture resistance.
- We avoid ad hoc splicing outside manufacturer tolerances (which could void warranties).
- Power Management & Wiring
- We place driver / control boxes in accessible, shaded, weather-sheltered locations per Govee’s spec (maintain clearances, protect from direct sun, etc.).
- We run wiring discreetly and securely, concealing cables and maintaining safe electrical practices (GFCI, conduit if needed, code compliance).
- Testing & Commissioning
- After installation, we test every segment, color, white mode, and connectivity via app.
- We monitor voltage at far ends to confirm signal strength and brightness consistency.
- We walk through the homeowner’s app setup, modes, and show how to use scene modes, schedules, etc.
- Warranty & Maintenance Assurance
- Because our installs follow Govee’s guidelines exactly, we ensure that your product warranty remains intact.
- We guarantee precision installation; should any mounted hardware fail within 2 years, we’ll remediate.
Elite vs. Pro / Other Variants
| Feature | GOVEE Pro / RGBICWW | GOVEE Elite / RGBICW / Version 2* |
|---|---|---|
| Cut & Splice Support | Cuttable + Waterproof Splice Connectors | Typically not splicable (or limited) |
| White LED Options | Dual White (Warm + cool) + RGB | Usually Warm White + RGB (single white) |
| Brightness (lm) | ~50lm / light | ~40lm / light (in many cases) |
| Warranty / Compatibility | Full support when spec'd properly | Compatible but more limited flexibility |
| Mounting / Clip Support | Uses adhesive + clips / brackets | Similar, but careful with mixing versions |
* Note: Many users consider “Elite” to align with the “Version 2 / non-Pro” line. (Users report that Elites and Gen 2 behave similarly. )
We support both Pro and Elite / Version 2 models, and our design approach adapts to whichever you own or purchase.
