I also plan to point them down rather than out so the LEDs light the permitter of the house rather than directly at my neighbors. Maybe from the distance my house would be viewed at, 30 LEDs per foot is a little dense, I could probably get away with 12 per foot and it would still look like a solid line. I'll continue to look, I just wanted to post a link to something similar. I put some research into this a few months ago and found a decent source for lights but I couldn't find them for this reply. They'd be glued or fastened pretty much every millimeter so there's no sag as well. The Govee's linked elsewhere in reply to me are tempting. I won't buy the ones I linked as I prefer a diffuser over the top of the LEDs so the light blends together a bitter better between each LED. You can buy them in various densities, such as 30 LEDs per foot or 90 LEDs per foot. My plan is to buy an LED strip so there are basically no wires for critters to chew. I'd also be able to do sections at a time over the year rather than all at once. I'm going to look for a DIY solution and hopefully keep it under 1.5k for all materials. They also subtracted sales tax rather than added it, bringing my total down to 4,660.58, or $24.65/foot. I was offered a 10% discount if I accept the quote and pay before December 1st. Likely regional cost differences or higher material/labor costs since the commenter had their quote/installation. Looks like an earlier comment of $25/foot is accurate, but this breaks down to about $27.50/foot. I am unsure if this is just white light or RGBW? The "standard white channel" part of the quote makes me feel like this is just for white LEDs. My local dealer came out and measured without me present, or communicating, so I wasn't able to ask questions. I don't really need that controllable from my phone. It'd be nice, sure, but all I really want is different patterns for seasons or occasions. The DIY route would probably be a little less graceful but I also don't really need a phone app to customize each individual light. Some advantages would probably be dedicated support, professional setup, and a polished application from Trimlights. It's much pricier than I'd like and I feel like I can do a DIY for significantly cheaper but I haven't priced it out yet.
