Help looking for outside lights

Hi folks,

Looking to get some outside lights. Not entirely sure how to power as was going to get an external socket installed, but the electrician said that sometimes the plugs are large and won’t fit perfectly in the outside sockets, or there is a transformer. Anyway, a bigger issue is the lights themselves.

From the socket, I want to run the lights about 43 metres. The pro lights will let me extend to this length, however I will be having the LEDs facing outwards so don’t think these are suitable as I don’t want to blind neighbours/traffic. The LED dot lights look better for my purpose, but I’m not sure if I can customise them as much as I would the pro ones (I’m struggling to find enough information on what the app will let me do for the Dots) but also they are only 15 metres, and I understand I can’t chain them.

Would be interested in ideas, as I want Govee really in order to be able to link with Alexa, and customise different lighting styles etc.
