Govee Permanent Lights vs. Our Professional Track Lighting
Searching for a Govee permanent light installer? We don't install customer-supplied Govee systems. We offer a professionally installed permanent lighting system with tighter 8-inch light spacing, wiring concealed inside a color-matched track, and a 15-year warranty.
Serving Cherry Hill, Haddonfield, Moorestown, Voorhees, Marlton, Medford and surrounding South Jersey communities.
Does Cherry Hill Christmas Lights install Govee permanent lights?
No. We do not install customer-supplied Govee permanent outdoor lights. Govee makes consumer-oriented permanent lighting systems designed for relatively easy installation with adhesive and clips. If you are looking for a more finished, professionally installed option, we offer our own permanent lighting system with an architectural track, 8-inch light spacing and local installation and support.
Govee vs. Professional Permanent Lights
Both can create app-controlled color effects. The biggest difference is how the system is designed, spaced and finished on the home.
| Feature | Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights | Our Permanent Lights |
|---|---|---|
| Light spacing | Varies by model. Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 lists 417 mm spacing — about 16.4 inches. | 8-inch spacing for roughly twice the light density compared with 16.4-inch spacing. |
| Nighttime appearance | Wider spacing is designed to create distinct triangular/cone-style wall-wash effects. | Closer spacing creates more overlap between light beams for a denser, more uniform roofline glow. |
| Daytime appearance | Lights are installed with adhesive and clips; wire and individual fixtures can remain visible under the soffit. | Lights and wiring are secured inside a low-profile, color-matched architectural track designed to blend with the fascia/soffit. |
| Installation | DIY-friendly consumer system; Govee supplies VHB adhesive and clips on Lights 2. | Measured, planned and professionally installed by our team. |
| Warranty | Govee currently advertises a 3-year warranty for its Permanent Outdoor Lights line. | 15-year warranty backing our permanent lighting system. |
| Support | Product support is handled through the manufacturer/retailer. | You have a local South Jersey installer to call about your installed system. |
Govee specifications vary by model and can change. The comparison above uses current published information for Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 and Govee's permanent-lighting warranty information.
8-inch spacing means a lot more light points across the same roofline
On a 100-foot run, 8-inch spacing works out to roughly 150 light positions. At 16.4-inch spacing, the same 100 feet is roughly 73 positions. That's about 2× the light density.
More closely spaced points allow the pools of light to overlap more. Instead of emphasizing separated cone-shaped washes on the wall, our goal is a tighter, more continuous architectural look across the roofline.
*Compared with 16.4-inch spacing; approximate counts for illustration.
Permanent lights should look permanent — even when they're off
The nighttime show matters, but permanent lighting lives on your house 365 days a year. That's why we put so much emphasis on the daytime finish.
Our wiring is concealed inside a professional track that is selected to blend with the home's soffit, fascia or trim. From the street, the goal is for the installation to read more like architectural trim than an exposed string of lights.

You may actually be looking for a professional permanent-lighting solution
Many homeowners find us after searching phrases like “Govee installer near me,” “Govee permanent light installation,” or “permanent Christmas lights installer.” Often, what they really want is the same year-round color control without having to mount, hide and maintain a consumer DIY system themselves.
We'll show you our track system, explain how it differs, and let you decide which approach makes more sense for your home. We don't need to pretend Govee is a bad product — it's simply a different type of solution.
Govee & Permanent Lighting Questions
Do you install Govee lights that I already purchased?
No. Cherry Hill Christmas Lights does not install customer-supplied Govee systems. We install our own professional permanent lighting system so we can control the installation method, track finish and support the completed system.
How far apart are Govee permanent lights?
Spacing depends on the model. Govee currently lists 417 mm — approximately 16.4 inches — between lights on Permanent Outdoor Lights 2. Our system uses 8-inch spacing.
Why do your lights look more uniform?
Our 8-inch spacing puts more light points along the same roofline. The closer spacing creates more overlap between adjacent pools of light, producing a denser architectural effect rather than widely separated cones.
Are the wires visible during the day?
Our system is installed inside a low-profile track designed to conceal and secure the wiring and blend with the home's trim. Daytime appearance is one of the major reasons homeowners choose a professional track system.
What warranty comes with your permanent lights?
Our permanent lighting system is backed by a 15-year warranty. We'll explain the warranty coverage and system details during your consultation.
Can permanent lights be used for more than Christmas?
Yes. Use them for warm-white architectural lighting, Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day, patriotic holidays, game days, parties and other occasions.
Where do you install permanent lights?
We install permanent lighting throughout our South Jersey service area, including Cherry Hill, Haddonfield, Moorestown, Voorhees, Marlton, Medford and nearby communities.
