Permanent Lighting Installation: The Process in Plain English|What Goes Into a Permanent Lighting Installation

It starts with a conversation

The first step is a look at the property, not a truck in the driveway. Somebody walks the property, asks how you use the outside of your home, and works out where the light should go. There is no charge for it, and you are not signing anything to have it.

The design comes before the price

Your house is not the same shape as the one down the street, so the plan gets drawn for it. A good design follows the architecture that is already there: the roof edge, the peaks, the columns, the entry. On commercial work the same thinking applies to storefronts, entrances and outdoor seating.

The install itself

Installation is professional, which is a plain way of saying nobody in your family goes up a ladder. The channel goes up along the planned lines and is color matched to the house. Power, controller and app setup are part of the job, not left for you to figure out. Before the crew leaves, somebody walks you through the app, so the first night is not a guessing game.

Commercial work

For a business the steps do not change, though the building usually gives you more to work with. What changes is when the work happens. Most businesses do not want ladders in front of the entrance at lunch, so the work gets timed permanent holiday lights around business hours.

Come prepared

Nothing is required, but a little thought ahead helps. Know which parts of the house you use in the evening. 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, because dark spots are obvious then and invisible at two in the afternoon.

The first few weeks

Most people spend the first week trying every color in the app. That is part of it, and then a routine sets in. The everyday setting ends up plain, and the schedule does the work.Set the schedule before you forget about it. A system running on its own schedule earns its keep.Homeowners are not needed for most of it. The practical list is short: unlock the gate, move the cars, keep the dog in. Beyond that the crew works and you do not have to hover.

Once it is running

From there it is a phone app and a house that lights up. The everyday setting usually ends up plain and warm, with color kept for the days that call for it.
