So I'm planning out a house outline for 2022. I've done dumb lights before without issues, but I didn't have to worry about things like data and power injection.
Here's my challenge. My first story roof line is 42 feet in length. Under normal circumstances, I would run multiple lines and have a controller for the left side and the right side. My issue is I have no power on one side of the house and no where easy to keep the controller box. The controller box location is already going to be about 9 feet from the start of the roof line.
Right now, I'm looking for suggestions.
One thought is I could do a 100 node, 4 " spacing which would get me about 38 feet, and then place megatree so that last few feet are eclipsed by the tree.
A second thought is to use 3" spacing, and put a long range receiver box on the roof near the 2nd story area and have 1 10' extension down to the gutters for a 2nd line of lights and use the rest of the ports for the windows.
Part of my issue is I don't really know what 3" vs 4" or even 6" on the house looks like from the road. We're not far back, maybe 20-25 ft from the road.
I'm sure there are other considerations that I'm not thinking of and would love any suggestions or ideas. Any other places besides the gutter, roofline, and around windows people would suggest would also be great. We get snow here so lights on the actual shingles wouldn't be a great idea since they'll get covered pretty quickly.
thanks
