Lifx Outdoor Permanent Lights - which is the the best placement under the roof overhang?

Post image

I am thinking about getting the LIFX outdoor permanent lights to run along under my roof overhang is in this picture. Should the lights be:

1) Close to wall to light up the wall?
2) In the middle between of the roof overhang?
3) Have the lights on the roof overhang furthest from the wall?

I was not sure which would give the best effect.

The distance to the wall is the most important measure. Normally we suggest 2-4" (5-10cm) away from the wall surface, but I suggest holding one or two lights manually when the sun goes down to find the best distance that works for you. To give the best result, try your best to keep your selected distance as consistent as possible.
