Adhesive and controller issues show up early
We don’t rely on the sticky tape alone: every run gets tape, brackets and metal hooks. We place the controller where it stays dry and in Wi-Fi range, and test every lighting layer before we leave.

Govee Outdoor Lights 2 Pro Problems and How to Avoid Them
Early data, with fewer than 20 mentions per topic. Treat these as first impressions.
| Topic | Positive | Negative mentions | How our technicians handle it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Functionality | 43% | 4 of 7 mentions | Controller placed where it stays dry and in Wi-Fi range; app set-up and every lighting layer tested |
| Value for money | 67% | 2 of 6 mentions | We can’t change the price, but we help you buy the right model and length (measured from photos, plus 25% extra) so you don’t overbuy |
| Installation | 75% | 3 of 12 mentions | Surface prep, bracket spacing and clip choice for your siding or fascia, with neat cable routes |
Many of these start with the install, not the light.
That is what a professional install removes: one call, a fixed labor price, and every section tested before we leave.
