At
Gladiator Gutters LLC, based in New Prague, MN, we specialize in installations that blend lighting and gutter systems for seamless, eye-catching results. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of installing Govee's outdoor light system — and why you might want to leave the job to the pros.
1. Say Goodbye to Leaks and Clogs
Before we dive into the step-by-step guide, it’s essential to understand what makes the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights Pro such a preferred choice among homeowners.
This lighting system is designed to provide year-round lighting that you can control from your phone or smart home devices. With features like custom color zones, music sync, weather resistance, and flexible installation options, it's more than just seasonal decor — it's an upgrade to your entire exterior.
The system includes:
- LED light strands with adhesive backing
- Mounting clips and screws
- Smart controller box
- Power adapter
- Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity
Thanks to its high-quality build and programmable settings, the Govee system is one of the top choices for homeowners who want convenience, reliability, and aesthetics rolled into one.
Step 1: Plan Your Layout
Every good installation starts with a solid plan. Take the time to measure the linear feet of the area you want to install the lights on. Govee lights are typically mounted along rooflines, soffits, or gutters — places that are highly visible but also require thoughtful consideration for safety and effectiveness.
Pro Tip from Gladiator Gutters: If you're planning to install along your gutter system, make sure the gutters are clean and in good condition. Debris and wear can impact how the clips or adhesives hold over time.
Sketch a rough layout, mark where you’ll need connectors, and identify your power source location. Ensure your total setup doesn’t exceed the maximum length supported by the Govee power adapter.
Step 2: Clean the Surface Area
To ensure long-lasting adhesion, clean the surface where the lights will be mounted. Dirt, mold, or debris can cause the adhesive strips or mounting clips to fail.
Use a mild detergent or cleaning solution and a cloth to wipe down gutters, fascia boards, or any other installation surface. Allow the area to dry completely before continuing.
Important: If you live in an area with heavy rain or snow — like we often do in New Prague, MN — this step is critical for preventing premature detachment of your lighting system.
Step 3: Install the Lights
Now comes the fun part: installing your Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights Pro!
Adhesive Backing Installation:
- Peel back a section of the adhesive liner.
- Press the light strip firmly onto the surface.
- Apply pressure every few inches to ensure strong adhesion.
Mounting Clip Installation:
If you’re concerned about harsh weather or just want extra support:
- Place the mounting clips over the strip.
- Secure them using the provided screws.
- Use a drill with a low-torque setting to avoid damaging surfaces.
Gladiator Gutters Tip:
When installing on or near gutter systems, use UV-resistant zip ties or clips to secure the lights to the lip of the gutter. This protects both the lights and the gutter from stress or damage.
Step 4: Connect the Power and Controller
Once the lights are mounted, connect them to the controller and plug in the power supply. The Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights Pro system comes with a controller box that connects via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to the Govee app.
Make sure your controller is in a sheltered location if it’s outdoors. Many homeowners use a weatherproof box or install it inside the garage with a cord routed outside.
Follow these steps:
- Plug the lights into the controller.
- Connect the power supply to the controller and then to a GFCI-protected outlet.
- Open the Govee app and follow the on-screen instructions to pair your lights.
5. Saves You Money in the Long Run
Now that everything is installed and powered, it’s time to get creative. The Govee app allows you to:
- Set daily lighting schedules
- Sync lights with music
- Create customized color scenes
- Integrate with Alexa or Google Home
With over 16 million colors and various animation options, your home’s lighting is now truly customizable.
If you're using the system for holiday decorations, you can set up themed light shows. If it's year-round lighting you're after, choose more subtle tones to accent architectural features and enhance security.
