Before any hardware goes up
Nothing gets installed until somebody has looked at your house. That visit covers the roofline, the gables, the porch and anything else worth lighting. The consultation is free and there is no obligation attached to it.
The design is drawn for your house
Your house is not the same shape as the one down the street, so the plan gets drawn for it. The design should read the house, following the roof edge, the gables and the entry. On

What install day looks like
Installation is professional, which is a plain way of saying nobody in your family goes up a ladder. The track gets mounted along the lines in the design, matched to the trim color so daylight hides it. Wiring is run so it is not hanging in view, and the system gets tied into power and set up on the app. Before the crew leaves, somebody walks you through the app, so the first night is not a guessing game.
Commercial installations follow the same steps
For a business the steps are the same, though the building usually gives you more to work with. The difference is usually when the crew can be on site. Most businesses do not want ladders in front of the entrance at lunch, so the install gets planned around the schedule.
Come prepared
You do not have to do homework, though a couple of answers help. Think about where you want light, not just where you want color. Decide what the everyday setting should do, and say so out loud. 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 once it is up
Most people play with it for a week. That is part of it, and then a routine sets in. The everyday setting ends up plain, and it runs on a timer without anybody touching it.The other thing worth setting up early is the automatic on and off. Lighting that needs a decision every evening gets used less than lighting that turns itself on.Homeowners do not have much to do. The practical list is short: access to the perimeter, a clear driveway and pets indoors. Beyond that you can go about your day.
Once it is running
After that, you pick your everyday setting and forget about it. The everyday setting usually ends up plain and warm, and the color gets used for holidays and birthdays.
