Permanent Lighting Installation, What Actually Happens on Install Day|What Goes Into a Permanent Lighting Installation

Before anything goes on the house

The first step is a look at the property, not a crew on the roof. Somebody walks the property, asks how you use the outside of your home, and figures out which lines are worth lighting. It costs nothing, and nobody expects a decision on the spot.

Custom design, not a template

Your house is not the same shape as the one down the street, so the plan gets drawn for it. A good design traces the lines the building already has: the main roofline, the gables, the dormers, the porch. Businesses get the same treatment across storefronts, entries and building corners.

On the day

The crew handles all of it. The channel follows the design and is color matched to the house. Power, control box and app setup are part of the job, not left on your kitchen table in a box. Before the crew leaves, you get shown how to run it, so you can actually use it that evening.

Commercial installations follow the same steps

A commercial job runs on the same process: look at the building, draw the plan, install it. What changes is the scheduling. Install timing works around when you are open, because nobody wants scaffolding across the front door on a Friday.

Come prepared

You do not have to do homework, but a few things make the visit better. Think about where you want light, not just where you want color. Think about whether this is mostly a holiday purchase or mostly an everyday one, since that shapes the plan. And walk the property once at night before the visit, since the gaps only show up after sunset.

Living with the system after install day

Most people spend the first week trying every color in the app. After the novelty, people settle. The routine is generally a single warm white that comes on at dusk, with the color saved for the days that call for it.The other thing worth setting up early is the automatic on and off. A system that comes on and goes off without anybody thinking about it gets used.Homeowners do not have much to do. Clear access to the roofline and the outlets helps: an unlocked gate, a clear driveway, pets in the house. Beyond that you can go about your day.

Once it is running

After that, you pick your everyday setting and forget about it. Most people settle on a warm white for the everyday, then change it when there is a reason to.
