Permanent Lighting Installation: How the Job Gets Done|What Goes Into a Permanent Lighting Installation

Before anything goes on the house

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. The consultation is free and there is no obligation attached to it.

The design is drawn for your house

Your house has its own lines, so the plan gets drawn around it. The design should work with the house, picking up the roofline and the peaks and the porch edge. On commercial work the same thinking applies to storefronts, entrances and outdoor seating.

What install day looks like

The crew does the whole thing. The track 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 on your kitchen table in a box. Before the crew leaves, you get shown how to run it, so the first night is not a guessing game.

Business installs

For a business the steps do not change, though the building usually gives you more to work with. The difference is usually timing. Most businesses would rather the crew work outside of open hours, so the install gets planned around the schedule.

Come prepared

Nothing is required, but a little thought ahead helps. Know which parts of the house you use in the evening. Decide what the everyday setting should do, and say so out loud. And look at your own house after dark once, since the gaps only show up after sunset.

What the first month looks like

Most people spend the first week trying every color in the app. That is fine and expected, 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.Set the schedule in the first few days. 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. Otherwise it is not your project.

After the system is up

After that, you pick your everyday setting and forget about it. The everyday setting is usually a simple warm white, and the color gets used for holidays and birthdays.
