Permanent Lighting Install: What Actually Happens on Install Day|How Permanent Lighting Installation Works: A Homeowner's Walkthrough

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 figures out which lines are worth lighting. The consultation is free and it does not commit you to anything.

The design is drawn for your house

Every house is a little different, which is why a template design usually looks off. 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.

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 gets tucked and routed out of sight, and the system gets tied into power and set up on the app. Before the crew leaves, you get shown how to run it, so the first night is not a guessing game.

Commercial installations work the same way

A commercial job runs on the same process: consultation, design, install. The difference is usually timing. Install timing works around when you are open, because nobody wants scaffolding across the front door on a Friday.

What to have ready before the consultation

You do not need to prepare much, but a few things make the visit better. Know where you walk at night. Think about whether this is mostly a holiday purchase https://myleswobg768.valiantfield.com/posts/curb-appeal-lighting-for-your-home-why-daytime-curb-appeal-is-only-half-the-job-how-does-outdoor-lighting-affect-curb-appeal-the-short-answer-is-yes-and-here-is-why-nighttime-curb-appeal-and-how-to-get-it-right 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 once it is up

Most people play with it for a week. After the novelty, a pattern forms. The everyday setting ends up plain, and it runs on a timer without anybody touching it.Set the schedule in the first few days. A system that comes on and goes off without anybody thinking about it gets used.Homeowners do not have much to do. Clear access around the house makes the day go faster: an unlocked gate, a clear driveway, pets in the house. Beyond that you can go about your day.

After the system is up

From there the system is yours to run. Most people settle on a warm white for ordinary nights, then change it when there is a reason to.
