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

It starts with a conversation

Nothing gets installed until somebody has looked at your house. That visit covers which edges to run, where the power is, and how you want to use it. The consultation is free and it does not commit you to anything.

Why the design comes first

Every roofline is a little different, which is why a template design usually looks off. A good design traces the lines the building already has: the roof edge, the peaks, the columns, the entry. On commercial work the same thinking applies to facades, entries and patios.

The install itself

The crew does the whole thing. The channel is fastened along the roofline in the design, matched to the trim color so daylight hides it. Power, control box 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 you can actually use it that evening.

Commercial installations work the same way

A commercial job follows the same order: look at the building, draw the plan, install it. What changes is the scheduling. Most businesses would rather the crew work outside of open hours, so the install gets planned around the schedule.

What to think about before the consultation

Nothing is required, but a little thought ahead helps. Know where you walk at night. Decide whether the main job is holidays or ordinary evenings, and say it during the visit. And walk the property once at night before the visit, because dark spots are obvious then and invisible at two in the afternoon.

Living with the system after install day

Most people play with it for a week. That is part of it, and then a routine sets in. 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 to do in the first week is the automatic on and off. Lighting you have to remember to turn on gets used less than lighting that turns itself on.There is very little you have to do on install day. The practical list is short: access to the perimeter, a clear driveway and pets indoors. Beyond that the crew works and you do not have to hover.

After the system is up

From there it is a phone app and a house that lights up. The everyday setting usually ends up plain and warm, and the color gets used for holidays and birthdays.
