Light Mounts

Hi there! I'm Josh from Deliciosa Decor, and as a Disabled Marine Corps Veteran who's passionate about creating beautiful outdoor spaces, I've seen firsthand how the right lighting can completely transform a backyard from ordinary to extraordinary.

Govee curtain lights have become one of my favorite recommendations for homeowners looking to create a stunning outdoor ambiance without breaking the bank. These versatile LED curtain lights offer incredible flexibility, vibrant colors, and smart features that make any space feel magical—whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue or simply want to enjoy a peaceful evening under the stars.

But here's what I've learned through multiple installation options: while Govee curtain lights are fantastic, their success depends heavily on proper mounting and installation. That's why at Deliciosa Decor, we've developed precision-fit custom light mounts that make setup simple, secure, and stress-free. Let me show you how to turn your backyard into the glow haven you've always dreamed of.

What Are Govee Curtain Lights?

Govee curtain lights are innovative LED lighting systems designed to create stunning wall-to-wall illumination effects. Unlike traditional string lights, these curtain wall lights feature multiple vertical strands of LEDs that hang like a luminous curtain, creating an immersive lighting experience that transforms any space.

The newest models, including the Govee Curtain Lights 2, offer significant upgrades over their predecessors. These improvements include higher pixel density for smoother color transitions, expanded DIY mode capabilities that let you create custom lighting patterns, and enhanced preset scenes for every occasion. The result is more dynamic lighting effects that respond beautifully to music, voice commands, and your creative vision.

What makes Govee curtain lights particularly appealing to DIY homeowners, seasonal decorators, and professional installers alike is their versatility. These smart lights work equally well indoors and outdoors, making them perfect for year-round use. Whether you're decorating your living room for a cozy movie night or creating a festival-style atmosphere in your backyard, these LED curtain lights adapt to your needs.

What Can Govee RGBIC Curtain Lights Do?

The feature set of Govee smart lights is truly impressive, especially considering their affordable price point. At the heart of these curtain lights is RGBIC technology, which allows individual LEDs to display different colors simultaneously. This creates those stunning rainbow effects and smooth color transitions that make your space feel like a professional light show.

The DIY light mode is where creativity really shines. Through the Govee Home app, you can design custom lighting patterns, adjust brightness levels, and even paint specific colors onto different sections of your curtain lights. It's like having a digital canvas made of light, perfect for creating a personalized ambiance that reflects your unique style.

Music mode takes things to the next level by syncing your lighting effects to sound. Whether you're playing background jazz for a dinner party or pumping up the energy with dance music, your Govee curtain lights will pulse, flash, and flow in perfect harmony with the beat. The sync technology has improved dramatically in recent models, creating smooth, responsive effects that truly enhance your audio experience.

Voice control compatibility with Alexa and Google Assistant means you can adjust your lighting without touching your phone. Simply say “Hey Google, dim the backyard lights to 30%” or “Alexa, change the curtain lights to blue,” and your smart lighting system responds instantly.

Installation flexibility is another major advantage. These curtain lights work beautifully in multiple spaces: hanging in windows for indoor ambiance, mounted on doors for dramatic entrances, stretched across walls for accent lighting, draped on backyard pergolas for outdoor dining, attached to fences for perimeter lighting, or used in event spaces for special occasions.

Common Govee Curtain Light Problems (and How to Fix Them)

Even the best smart lighting systems can experience occasional hiccups, but most Govee curtain light issues have straightforward solutions. Connection drops with the Govee app are usually resolved with a quick reset of both the lights and your WiFi router, or by updating the firmware through the app.

One of the most common problems I encounter is adhesive failure, especially in outdoor installations. The adhesive tape that comes with Govee curtain lights works well indoors, but outdoor conditions—temperature changes, humidity, and UV exposure—can cause traditional mounting methods to fail. This is exactly why I developed our custom mounting solutions at Deliciosa Decor. Our precision-engineered mounts provide a durable alternative that withstands seasonal weather while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.

Music sync delays occasionally occur, particularly in environments with unstable WiFi connections. To optimize your music mode experience, ensure your app is updated, maintain a strong WiFi signal near your lights, and consider using a dedicated 2.4GHz network for your smart home devices.

Brightness concerns sometimes arise when transitioning from indoor to outdoor use. Govee curtain lights that seem perfectly bright indoors might appear dimmer in outdoor settings due to ambient light competition. The Govee Home app allows you to adjust brightness settings and choose lighting effects that work better in different environments.

Is Govee a Chinese Company?

Yes, Govee is based in China, and they've built a strong global market presence by focusing on affordable, high-tech smart lighting products. This isn't a drawback—in fact, it's one of the reasons they can offer such advanced features at competitive prices.

Many of today's most innovative consumer electronics come from Chinese manufacturers who've invested heavily in research and development. Govee has established itself as a reliable brand in the smart home lighting space, with consistent product quality and responsive customer service.

What's particularly exciting is how companies like Deliciosa Decor complement these global products with U.S.-based, Veteran-owned solutions. While Govee creates innovative lighting technology, we provide the custom mounting hardware and installation expertise that ensures these products perform flawlessly in American homes and climates.

Why Use Custom Light Mounts for Govee Smart Lights?

The difference between a temporary lighting setup and a professional-looking installation often comes down to mounting quality. Standard adhesives and hooks might work for short-term indoor use, but they frequently fail when faced with outdoor conditions, seasonal weather changes, or the weight of larger curtain light installations.

Our precision-engineered mounts at Deliciosa Decor solve these problems by providing secure, weather-resistant mounting points that maintain a clean, polished appearance year-round. These aren't generic brackets—each mount is specifically designed for different Govee models, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance.

Professional installers particularly appreciate how our mounts save installation time while delivering superior results. Instead of struggling with adhesive positioning or worrying about failure points, installers can quickly secure mounts and focus on creating beautiful lighting designs.

We offer mounts compatible with Eufy, Govee, Nanoleaf, and other leading brands, with custom requests always welcome. Every order includes free nationwide shipping and an automatic 25% discount, making professional-grade mounting accessible to DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike.

The installation space considerations are crucial for outdoor curtain lights. Our mounts accommodate various installation scenarios, from diy window door applications to larger architectural features like pergolas and gazebos. They're designed to vibrate room occasion lighting while providing the structural integrity needed for permanent installations.

How to Transform Your Backyard into a Glow Haven

Creating your backyard glow haven is easier than you might think, and the results are absolutely transformative. Here's my step-by-step approach that's worked for hundreds of installations:

Step 1: Choose Your Govee Curtain Lights
Start by measuring your space and determining how many sets of curtain lights you'll need. Look online to get ideas and hacks and consider both the width and height of the area you want to illuminate. The newer Govee Curtain Lights 2 offer better outdoor performance and more vibrant colors, making them ideal for backyard applications.

Step 2: Install with Deliciosa Decor Mounts
This step makes all the difference between a professional-looking installation and a temporary setup that might fail when you need it most. Our custom mounts ensure your investment in Govee smart lights pays off with years of reliable performance. The mounting process is straightforward, but the security and style benefits are immediately apparent.

Step 3: Configure the Govee Home App
Download the app and connect your curtain lights to your home WiFi network. This is where the magic really begins—you'll have access to dozens of preset scenes, the ability to create custom lighting effects, and all the smart features that make these lights special.

Step 4: Experiment with Music Mode
For gatherings and parties, music sync mode creates an incredibly engaging atmosphere. The higher pixel density in newer models means smoother, more responsive effects that truly enhance your entertainment space. Test different music genres to see how the dynamic lighting effects respond.

Step 5: Explore Preset Scenes and DIY Mode
Don't limit yourself to standard settings. The DIY mode allows you to create dynamic lighting effects and even customize your own DIY light show. Experiment with different color combinations for various occasions—warm whites for intimate dinners, vibrant colors for celebrations, or seasonal themes for holidays.

Step 6: Embrace Seasonal Creativity
Your backyard glow haven should evolve throughout the year. Create different lighting profiles for summer barbecues, fall gatherings, winter holidays, and spring celebrations. The versatility of Govee curtain lights means your space can feel fresh and exciting year-round.

Maintenance and Long-Term Success

A truly successful backyard lighting installation requires minimal ongoing maintenance, which is why proper mounting is so crucial. With our custom mounts, you can expect years of reliable performance with just occasional cleaning and software updates.

Regular app updates from Govee continue to add new features and improve performance, so your investment keeps getting better over time. The robust construction of our mounting systems means you won't need to worry about seasonal adjustments or weather-related failures.

Consider creating a simple maintenance schedule: clean the light strands monthly, check mounting security seasonally, and update the app as new versions become available. This minimal effort ensures your glow haven remains spectacular year after year.

Beyond Basic Installation: Advanced Techniques For Advanced Lighting Experience

Once you've mastered the basics, there are advanced techniques that can take your backyard lighting to the next level. Layering different types of govee lights and combining curtain lights with permanent outdoor lights or accent lighting—creates depth and visual interest that single-source lighting can't achieve.

Consider the interplay between your curtain lights and existing landscape features. Trees, architectural elements, and water features can all be enhanced with thoughtful lighting placement. The key is creating layers of light that work together to define spaces and create ambiance.

Color temperature mixing is another advanced technique. While dynamic RGB effects are exciting for parties, combining these with warmer white lighting for ambient illumination creates spaces that feel both magical and comfortable for everyday use.

Making Your Investment Count

Quality outdoor lighting represents a significant investment in your home's enjoyment and value. Govee curtain lights offer exceptional features at an accessible price point, but realizing their full potential requires proper installation and mounting.

This is where the partnership between innovative lighting technology and American-made mounting solutions creates the best possible outcome. You get cutting-edge features, reliable performance, and the peace of mind that comes with proper installation support.

Our commitment at Deliciosa Decor extends beyond just selling mounting hardware. We're here to help you succeed with your lighting projects, offering custom solutions when standard options don't fit your unique space, and providing the expertise that comes from hundreds of successful installations.

Your Glow Haven Awaits

Creating a backyard that feels magical doesn't require a massive budget or professional lighting designer—it just requires the right combination of quality products and proper installation. Govee curtain lights provide the technology and features, while our custom mounting solutions ensure everything works beautifully for years to come.

As a Veteran-owned business, we understand the value of doing things right the first time. Every mount we create is tested through multiple iterations to ensure it meets the standards I developed during my military service: durable, reliable, and built to perform when it matters most.

Your backyard has incredible potential to become a space that brings joy, relaxation, and connection to your daily life. With the right lighting setup, those ordinary evenings become extraordinary experiences, and your outdoor space becomes a destination rather than just a yard.
