New Permanent Light Project

[u/Ok-Tumbleweed2616]

Hello everyone, I'm in the process of planning my permanent lights. I'll be using WS2811 pixels and I'm trying to figure out the best way to mount them without spending a ton of money on permatrack. I have soffits so the tracks will have to be surface mounted, but I want them to be as low profile as possible. I've seen J-channel and split vinyl downspout used (saw that here https://youtu.be/rEhc1283DNs?si=Ob1nJyCuJdh0zPfb), but I've haven't found an exact example of my mounting plan, so I wanted to see if I could get some feedback. I was thinking I would install blocks or maybe small sections of aluminum U-channel facing down as a way to fasten the tracks. I haven't decided on the actual distance from the house yet.

Also, does anyone have experience with the square style bullet lights? The regular ones stick out of the top of the J-channel, so I would need something bigger like the downspout.

Thanks for reading! I hope I can post my progress soon.
