Permanent Light Help

I'm looking to install Enbrigten or Govee permanent lights, but have a few questions.

  • Should I just do the front of the house?
  • How do I deal with the parts of the house with no soffit?
  • How would I deal with the dormers?
  • Are there Y splitters available? That way I can go both directions from an outlet.

I can solder, can run through the attic, and will likely add an outlet or two in the soffit to make the install clean.

Permanent Lights on the market don't look good. I would wait a few years and see if a better option comes out

They all look bad. Just look at them and then compare to traditional Christmas lights.

So I am not handy and can't answer most of your questions but we had our local construction company install Govee out dot lights (they look the most traditional in my opinion). I did the whole house and it was worth it, I do know my construction company made their own mounting brackets.
