4. How do I install the lights at the peaks of my roof?
The peaks of roofs can be a little tricky.
Most of the time the lights don’t line up perfectly where a light will end up exactly at the peak of the roof.
What I do is install a light at the peak even if it doesn’t match the spacing of the previous lights.
After I install the light at the peak, I match the next light with the spacing of the pervious light. See the picture below for reference.
5. How do I jump the lights from eave to eave?
To jump your lights from eave to eave, you can use the jumper wires provided in the permanent outdoor light kit.
If you have extra lights on the strand you can tape them off with black electrical tape so they won’t be seen at night when the lights are on.
6. Can I cut the lights if I have extra lights left over?
Yes.
There is a way to cut the light strand (not recommended by manufacturer), but taping off the lights works best.
If you do try to cut and splice the wire, MAKE SURE THE LIGHTS ARE UNPLUGGED!
7. How do I control the lights?
There are three ways to control the Lumary Permanent Outdoor Lights.
Control Box attached to the power pack
Remote Control provided with the kit
Downloadable app
8. What brand of permanent outdoor lights are the best?
