Hey everyone! I wanted to share a fun DIY project I recently completed using the GOVEE neon rope light. It was a creative way to combine smart home technology with a unique decor idea. My friend asked for a giraffe design for their daughter’s room, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to showcase what this product can do. ![]()

I started by sketching out the design on paper, making sure to account for the length of the 9.8ft neon rope light. The challenge was to create a glowing effect that would highlight the giraffe’s features while keeping the design simple enough for easy installation. After a few adjustments, I settled on a design that used the rope light to outline the giraffe’s body and neck, with smaller sections for the legs and head. The result was absolutely adorable! ![]()
One thing I found particularly helpful was the ability to control the brightness and color of the neon rope light through the GOVEE app. This made it easy to adjust the lighting to match the room’s ambiance. I also loved how the app allowed me to set up schedules, so the lights automatically dim in the evenings for a cozy bedtime routine. ![]()
For those of you who might be interested in trying something similar, here are a few tips:
- Start with a simple design and gradually add details.
- Use adhesive strips or hooks to secure the rope light without damaging walls.
- Experiment with different brightness levels and colors to achieve the desired effect.
- Don’t hesitate to get creative—smart lighting is all about personalization!

I’d love to hear if anyone else has tried similar projects or has any tips for working with neon rope lights. Let’s keep the creative ideas flowing! ![]()
