How to Install Enbrighten Eternity Lights: A Comprehensive Guide
Adding outdoor lighting is a fantastic way to enhance the ambiance of your outdoor space, and Enbrighten Enterny Lights offer a versatile and durable option for any setting. This blog post will provide a step-by-step guide to help you install your Enbrighten Eternity Lights with ease.
After watching and reading a number of reviews online of the Govee Permanent Outdoor lights I was planning on making these types of lights an upcoming install at my own home. Only issue was the Govee lights are $999.00 for 200 feet and sometimes go on sale for $599. So when I seen similar lights, the Enbrighten Eternity Lights, at Costco for $199.00 and included screw in clips for them, I jumped on the deal.
Once I completed it all, I thought I would write up a short how to install for everyone else. So here it is, enjoy.
What You'll Need:
- Outdoor strip lights: Govee or Enbrighten
- Measuring tape
- Ladder
- Drill
- Screws and anchors (if mounting on a hard surface)
- Extension cords (if needed)
- Zip ties or clips for cable management
Step 1: Plan Your Layout
Begin by determining where you want to place your Lights. Measure the length of the area to ensure you have enough lights to cover the space. Plan the route for the power source and check for nearby outlets.
Step 2: Unbox and Test the Lights
Open the package and verify that all components are included. Plug in the lights to ensure they are working correctly before starting the installation. This step helps to identify any issues early on.
Step 3: Install the Mounting Hardware
Depending on the surface you are attaching the lights to, you may need to use screws, anchors, or adhesive clips.
- For wood or siding: Use screws to mount the clips or brackets provided with your lights.
- For brick or concrete: Use a drill with masonry bits to create holes, then insert anchors and screws.
- For metal surfaces: Adhesive clips can be an excellent option if you prefer not to drill holes.
Step 4: Attach the Lights
Carefully attach the lights to the mounted hardware. Ensure they are secure but avoid putting excessive strain on the cables. Use zip ties or clips to manage any excess cable length neatly.
Step 5: Connect to Power
Once the lights are mounted, connect them to the power source. Use extension cords if necessary to reach an outlet. Ensure all connections are secure and weatherproof, especially if exposed to the elements.
Step 6: Customize Your Lighting
The lights often come with a remote and a smart phone enabled app for customization options. Follow the instructions to pair your lights with the remote or app, allowing you to customize the lighting effects, set schedules, and control your lights remotely.
Step 7: Final Check
After installation, do a final walkthrough to ensure all lights are functioning correctly and all cables are neatly managed. Adjust the placement as needed to achieve your desired lighting effect.
Tips for a Successful Installation
- Safety First: Always follow safety guidelines when using ladders and electrical tools.
- Weather Considerations: Ensure that all connections are weatherproof, particularly if the lights will be exposed to rain or snow.
- Regular Maintenance: Periodically check the lights to ensure they are still securely mounted and functioning correctly.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can easily install these lights and transform your outdoor space into a beautifully lit environment. Whether for everyday use or special occasions, these lights offer durability and customization to suit your needs. Enjoy your enhanced outdoor ambiance!
