I purchased the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 last Christmas and they worked great! However, I didn’t want to leave them up all year. Now that it’s summer, I wanted to repurpose them for some different projects. I wasn’t entirely sure what to do at first, so I decided to install them hidden in the ground.
Just a heads-up: these are designed to live under the eaves of your roof. They’re a bit pricey, so if you use them for a different project, they might not last as long as expected.
Pennsylvania winter is officially over, which means the back patio is clean, put back together, and ready for action! Regular blog readers know that outdoor lighting has been a major trial-and-error journey for me. First, we tried solar flame lights. Then came the Philips Hue era—which, unfortunately, only lasted a few years before connector corrosion cut their lives short.
So as you can see below we got it all cleaned up and now it was time to put the Govee lights to the test.
It wasn’t hard running the lights basically just digging out the ground and hiding the wire’s and making sure the Govee LED’s were not exposed. I’m sure there might be easier and cheaper ways of doing this however I just had these lights sitting in a box and I wanted to put them to use.
So now that the lights have been all buried in the ground it was time to wait for night and see how they actually look. It actually came out really cool check out the YouTube video below for the results. I loved this so much I decided to do this in the front of my house going up the sidewalk. That post will be coming soon.
