I installed ASAHOM Permanent Outdoor Lights

Good morning. Hey guys, how you doing? It's Henry at Motorcycleros. Welcome to another weekend product review. You guys have seen this all around your neighborhood and you're always commenting, ooh, look at Mabel's house. Doesn't it look nice? I've felt the same way. I've seen my neighbors get these permanent outdoor lighting. Instead of having to put up Christmas lights, Halloween lights, Valentine's Day, special holidays, you can have Permanent lights that could be mounted on your soffits of your home and you could change up to 30,000 different patterns and designs and light combinations forever. No need to ever take them down again and you can just have white soft light during any other day to light up your home. This is the Asa Home Permanent Outdoor Lights. This is the S208 which comes with 100 feet which consists of 84 RGBW LED lights, multi-filament in each light so that you can change the color without having to change the bulbs. 3560 lumens, 50,000 hours for the LED light, 4000k for color temperature, works with Google Home and Alexa. this gives your home a nice glow it could be multi-colors or you can design it to have just one color warranty card here are the two boxes of the led lights on strings connectable to all these devices these are what the strings look like and the led lights this is your 100 watt power supply low temperature design just plug this into your ac 110 wall outlet now you have power This power connects to the controller which is dual output. You can have a string of lights going to one direction and another string of lights going in another direction. This connects to your power. This connects to either ethernet cable if you don't want wi-fi but it allows you both wi-fi and ethernet using this ethernet cable that's included. Here's the hardware to install the lights onto your soffits. And in case you wanted to shorten your wiring, you can use these included junction boxes, where you can simply slice them, insert, close the top, and now you've connected your wiring again. So installing these lights is pretty easy. You have the end where you connect into the controller. And then you measure with this ruler a perfect area for you to install Now the closer you get to your wall you're going to see the intensity of the light shaped like a bullet if it's too close. But if you put it around two inches or so you're going to have a nice glow although the intensity of the light on your facade here it's going to be lighter than of course if you had it closer So basically you'll measure where you want to put your lights and you'll put it on like this. Included, each LED has a bracket that has adhesive on the back. Pull this off and stick it to where you want it to be after you've measured where your LEDs are going to be You have to remember, this is the bracket that you mount right on top of here, just like that. And if you'll notice, it's angled at 10 degrees So if you have it right there, the light will be slightly pointing toward your wall, which gives it that glow. you have to make sure that the angle is pointed inward toward your wall then after you've adhesive this onto your soffits you can see there's a hole on the back of it once you have it adhesive on you take the included hardware just a screw and drill it right in there so that this thing stays there forever you basically just clip on your LED lights it's that simple and you just do that for a hundred feet And that's it. Easy peasy Now we're going to install this on my neighbor's house. Why? Because on my house, only a third of my house has soffits and overhang. The area from here all the way to there and up here does not have any overhang for me to install lights. So you wouldn't be able to get the full effect of permanent outdoor lights If I only have it from here to there My next door neighbor, Steve, has always wanted permanent lighting in the backyard. As you can see, this house is perfect for it because he has soffits throughout his entire house So he can have lighting right along that bottom roof line all the way to the end and wraps around to the front. Having that ambiance lighting is perfect for when he entertains. As you can see, he's got a large patio and a pool. And a bar. You have to first ascertain where's the best power source that's near your Wi-Fi router. We're going to find a power outlet a place where you can hide the wires so it doesn't look messy. And it has to start either on that side or this side First, we started off by laying out all the items on the table so that we can clearly see the lengths of different LED strings and that we could design. exactly what we needed and make sure that the entire 100 feet would encompass the entire side and rear of the house we wanted to make sure that the lights did not cover the windows so we had to know exactly where to stop and where to start next we wanted to make sure that the app was going to be paired correctly with our lights so after we downloaded the app on either iOS or Android we installed it and then started detecting our lights after they were all plugged in together once it was paired together and we had success we could see that the lights were now illuminated and all we did now was just install them one at a time carefully we took turns did three or five each and it was a lot of fun took a lot of work but it is pretty easy once you get the hang of it A very important part is to use the template that they give you so that you make sure that you install it straight. We came to an area where he has stairs that goes down to the basement. This is the sketchiest part of installation. He's on a ladder dropping down. Okay, I got this girl. You dropped the screw. We didn't need to do this, but you may come to a point where you may have to splice your wire to shorten the length of your LED strings. So included in the box are two junction boxes, which allow you to connect two spliced wires. It's very important that you follow these directions very closely, according to the video, now. Cut straight across at the point where you need to trim. Please be sure not to cut at an angle, as shown in the illustration. Next, take out the waterproof junction box and remove the caps from both sides. Next comes the most critical step. Insert the wires you need to splice into the box. There are two important things to keep in mind here. First, make sure the positive, negative, and signal wires match up one to one. You can check whether the wiring is correct by verifying that the pattern on the wire stays continuous. The pattern may differ slightly depending on the wire model. Second, the wires must be inserted all the way in. Please refer to the illustration for the correct and incorrect examples. Finally, use pliers or your fingers to firmly press the top cover of the box shut until it sits flat. And that's it, the connection is complete. And now we just continued with the installation, doing the entire rear of his backyard and onto the side of the other side of the house. Don't try this at home kids. That sketchy part is done. That was dangerous, but it had to be done. Steve had to go inside for a little while, so I took over and did most of the backyard lights. Once you started getting accustomed to how it went on, it went pretty quickly. Eventually I had to stop at the large window where we didn't want the lights to shine on them. So Steve had to use some T-connectors and some amplifying wires to avoid lighting up the windows. We were lucky we did not need to splice any wire. We are almost done. Steve's making the corner here. And I finished up the left side of the house. We were short by about three feet. Can you believe it? We used up all 100 feet of the LED lights. It was so satisfying to finally finish this job. It took us all about four and a half hours with two people working on it. We were very happy when we were finished. So how about it guys? We just wrapped his entire house right side, rear, and left side and we just about made it. We could have used another Three more feet, but that's okay. This is my other neighbor's house. He has a different manufacturer of lights. As you can see, you can clearly see the projection onto his facade, whereas the ASA home, it is a natural glow. It looks really nice. So our finished product wraps around the left side to the backyard. We use the extensions and the amplifier to cut it right there so it So it doesn't go over the window, then starts again. Nice and straight, using the template. I recommend using the template because it allows you to install them nice and straight. Look at that. Look at the glow. It's beautiful, really beautiful. Wow, look at that. So the app allows you to do over 30,000 different designs and patterns, depending on the time of year, holidays. That's just gorgeous. That is fantastic. All kinds of different patterns, all available on the ASA Home app that you download. Most people, when it's not a holiday, just like to illuminate the sides of their home with this glowing white soft light. You can also light up sections if you don't want them or you do want them. Cool. And of course, we mounted the power supply right onto the PVC fence post and the controller. is right there with the antenna pointed straight down for best Wi-Fi optimization of course both the controller and the power supply are IP67 waterproof yeah that is so cool that is wild i love that and i like how we can see in between our house too yeah i know it's great you can also turn off the sides if you wanted to and just have the rear illuminated or just have the sides on And the rear off. Or I can do one side and not the other. You can control all different segments of the lighting. Oh look and then it tells me the pattern and then use it. The app has AI technology where you can just ask them to build you a pattern and it'll come out with a recommendation which you'll just press okay. Thanks Steve.
