Installation Guide

Follow these steps to properly install your Govee 16.4ft Extension Light:

1. Choose an Applicable Surface: Select a smooth, clean, and dry surface for installation. Stucco walls or textured walls are not recommended for direct adhesive application.
2. Prepare the Surface: Before installation, thoroughly wipe the surface with a clean cloth or tissue to ensure it is dry and free of dust, dirt, or grease.
3. Apply VHB Glue: Tear off the protective film from the VHB glue pad on the back of each light module.
4. Position and Press: Carefully position the light strip and press each light module firmly against the surface for more than 5 seconds to ensure strong adhesion.
5. Secure with Clips: For added security and long-term stability, attach 4 screw clips to each string light section. This helps to keep them securely in place, especially in outdoor conditions.
6. Connect Extension: Connect the extension light strip to your existing Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights system via the waterproof connectors. Ensure the connection is secure.
7. Secure Connector Cap: Firmly screw the waterproof connector cap of the last string light section to protect the connection from moisture.

Note: It is advised to install the lights during warm weather or to use the adhesive at the appropriate ambient temperature (around 32°F / 0°C minimum) before applying it to prevent adhesive failure.

Troubleshooting

Extension Light Not Functioning After Connection

If your newly added extension light strip does not light up after connecting it to your existing system, follow these steps:

1. Power Cycle: Turn off the power to your entire Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights system.
2. Ensure Secure Connection: Double-check that the extension light is securely connected to the main light string via the waterproof connectors.
3. Reset Control Box: Turn the power back on. Locate the control box of your main Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights kit and press the reset button for approximately 5 seconds. This can help the system recognize the new extension.
