Many outdoor string and permanent lights on this page are designed for weather exposure. Look for an IP rating on the product page—examples shown include IP67 for outdoor string/permanent systems and IP65 for outdoor strip lights. Higher numbers generally indicate stronger protection against dust and water.

• Mount under eaves or along soffits when possible to reduce exposure.
• Keep power supplies and plugs off the ground and protected from standing water.
• Avoid submerging any component unless it’s clearly rated for immersion.
• Follow the installation guide for drip loops and secure cable runs.

Because conditions vary by climate and placement, checking the exact rating and instructions in the manual can help you decide what fits your space.

Start by measuring the path you want to light, not just a wall’s width. Include corners, turns, and the route to the controller or outlet.

• Measure along the exact path (behind a TV, under cabinets, or around a ceiling) for accuracy.
• Compare your number to kit lengths listed on this page (options around 6.5 ft, 9.8 ft, 24.6 ft, 32.8 ft, 49.2 ft, and 100+ ft are available).
• Choose a length that covers the run without overstretching; a little slack can help with corners.
• For very long rooms, two coordinated runs can be cleaner than routing one strip through doorways.

Cutting or extending varies by model, so it’s a good idea to check the product page and manual for what’s supported.

Models here typically connect via Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, or both, enabling app control for colors, scenes, schedules, and sometimes music sync. Several options also support voice control through common assistants and widely used smart‑home platforms.

1. Power the light and open the companion app referenced in the manual.
2. Put the device in pairing mode (often a quick button press or power cycle).
3. Choose Wi‑Fi or Bluetooth in the app and follow the prompts to add the device.
4. Link voice control within the app if you’d like hands‑free commands.

Placement can affect connectivity. Keeping the controller within reasonable range of your router (for Wi‑Fi) or your phone (for Bluetooth) can help. Check the product page for the exact wireless standard and features offered.

Use the screen size range in the title as your first guide; you’ll see kits labeled for 55–65 inch or 75–85 inch TVs. Some also list total strip length (for example, about 11.8 ft) so you can compare to your TV’s perimeter.

• Measure the back perimeter and match it to the listed strip length.
• If your TV sits at the top of a range, choosing the larger option can ease routing.
• Clean the back panel before mounting and avoid blocking vents or ports.
• If the kit includes a camera for color matching, center it as directed and complete the on‑screen calibration.

Product photos and the manual can help you visualize the path and select the best fit.

Several permanent outdoor systems on this page support add‑on expansion strings designed for the same series. Expanding can be straightforward with a bit of planning.

1. Match the exact series name, color variant, and connector style shown on your existing controller kit.
2. Check the manual for the maximum supported length or number of lights before adding more.
3. Keep waterproof ratings consistent and secure all connections as instructed.
4. Plan mounting and power access so the controller and power supply stay protected from the elements.

You can browse compatible expansion packs on Walmart and check availability for pickup or delivery in your area. Reviewing compatibility notes on the product page and in the Q&A can help before you buy.
