Govee Quick Start Guide & User Manual
Model: H705B
Govee RGBIC Permanent Outdoor Lights
Installation Recommendation
Install the string lights under the eaves to create a wall washing lighting effect. (Recommended)
Installation Steps
-
Before installation, connect each string light and plug it into power to make sure every string light can work properly. The string light might not light up if you plug it into power first and then connect the string light sections.

-
Prepare a ladder and make sure it is stable enough or used under another person's assistance. Please do not install the lights on rainy or hot days so as to avoid falling down due to high temperatures or a slippery ladder.

-
Figure out the location of the first string light. Make sure the adapter and control box is long enough to connect to the power supply. Fix the adapter to the wall surface to alleviate the burden of the string lights. Note: The waterproof connector with the red washer on the first string light should connect with the control box.

-
Clean the surface with cloth or tissues where you plan to install the string lights. Make sure the surface is clean and dry. It is recommended to vertically install the string lights 5-10 cm away from the wall surface.

-
Tear off the VHB gum on the back of a light and firmly press it against the surface for more than 5 seconds. The slight rotation of the power cord will not affect the use.

-
Use screw clips to fix the string lights firmly on the eave. Each string light needs 4 screw clips. It is recommended to fix the clips before the first, fifth, and ninth light and after the last one on each string light. The joint between the first string light and the control box, and the power cords at the top of the gable needs to be secured with an extra clip.

-
Connect two string lights via the waterproof connectors. Make sure the red washer on one of the connectors does not fall. Firmly screw the waterproof connector cap. Repeat steps 4, 5, and 6.

-
After connecting all string lights, firmly screw the waterproof connector cap of the last string light section.

Plug into power and enjoy your lighting effects.
You have the option to buy the expansion pack of 5m with 12 lights (not including the control box or the adapter) to meet your needs. The string light can extend up to 150ft (9 string light sections).
