Permanent LED Lighting Installation: Step by Step, From Quote to Switch On|What Goes Into a Permanent Lighting Installation

Before anything goes on the house

The first step is a free consultation, not a crew on the roof. Somebody comes out and looks at the roofline, talks through what you are after, and works out where the light should go. The consultation is free and there is no obligation attached to it.

Why the design comes first

Every roofline is a little different, which is why one plan does not fit every home. The design should read the house, following the roof edge, the gables and the entry. Businesses get the same treatment across storefronts, entries and building corners.

What install day looks like

Installation is professional, meaning the ladders, the track and the wiring are theirs to deal with. The channel gets mounted along the lines in the design, color matched to your trim so it is not the https://rentry.co/xcpvokrd first thing a visitor sees. Wiring gets tucked and routed out of sight, then the system is connected and set up on your phone. Before the crew leaves, you get shown how to run it, so the first night is not a guessing game.

Commercial installations follow the same steps

For a business the steps do not change, though the building usually gives you more to work with. The difference is usually when the crew can be on site. Install timing works around when you are open, because nobody wants scaffolding across the front door on a Friday.

Come prepared

Nothing is required, but the visit goes further if you have thought about a couple of things. 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, because the answer changes the design. 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

Expect the first week to be color testing. That is part of it, and then a routine sets in. The routine is generally a single warm white that comes on at dusk, and color kept for holidays and events.The other thing to do in the first week is the schedule itself. A system running on its own schedule gets used.There is very little asked of you while the crew works. The practical list is short: access to the perimeter, a clear driveway and pets indoors. Otherwise it is not your project.

After the install

After that, you set what you want and it holds. Most people land on one white they like for the everyday, then change it when there is a reason to.
