Permanent Light Installation: The Process in Plain English|How Permanent Lighting Installation Works: A Homeowner's Walkthrough

Before anything goes on the house

Nothing gets installed until the design is settled. Somebody comes out and looks at the roofline, talks through what you are after, and works out where the light should go. It costs nothing, and you are not signing anything to have it.

The design comes before the price

Every roofline is a little different, which is why one plan does not fit every home. The design should work with the house, picking up the roofline and the peaks and the porch edge. Businesses get the same treatment across the facade, the entrance and the patio.

On the day

Installation is professional, which is a plain way of saying nobody in your family goes up a ladder. The track goes up along the planned lines and matches the trim. Power, controller and phone setup are handled as part of the install, not left for you to figure out. Before the crew leaves, you get shown how to run it, so the first night is not a guessing game.

Business installs

A commercial job runs on the same process: look at the building, draw the plan, install it. The difference is usually timing. Most businesses would rather the crew work outside of open hours, so the work gets timed around business hours.

Come prepared

You do not have to do homework, but a few things make the visit better. Know which parts of the house you use in the evening. Think about whether you want December color, nightly light, or both, because the answer changes the design. And look at your own house after dark once, since the gaps only show up after sunset.

What the first month looks like

Expect a few evenings of experimenting. That is fine and expected, and then a routine sets in. The routine is usually one warm white on a dusk schedule, with the color saved for the days that call for it.Set the schedule before you forget about it. Lighting that needs a decision every evening 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: unlock the gate, move the cars, keep the dog in. Beyond that the crew works and you do not have to hover.

From there the system is yours to run. The everyday setting is usually a simple warm white, with color kept for the days that call for it.
