How to make a splice/jumper/extension on #Govee permanent outdoor lights 2 (can’t guarantee this works with any other models). For the DIYer who doesn’t want to spend $1,000s on install. This may void your warranty so execute at your own risk. Don’t be afraid of doing this, it’s easy.
This allows a section of wire to be “blacked out” while continuing the strand. Example, going from first to second story and you don’t want that vertical line of lights.
I work full time and have kiddos so if you have questions I’ll answer as soon as I can!
