Permanent Lighting Installation: The Process in Plain English|What Goes Into a Permanent Lighting Installation From First Call to First Night

Before anything goes on the house

The first step is a free consultation, not a truck in the driveway. That visit covers the roofline, the gables, the porch and anything else worth lighting. There is no charge for it, and you are not signing anything to have it.

Why the design comes first

Your house is not the same shape as the one down the street, so the plan gets drawn around it. A good design follows the architecture that is already there: the main roofline, the gables, the dormers, the porch. On commercial work the same thinking applies to facades, entries and patios.

What install day looks like

Installation is professional, meaning the ladders, the track and the wiring are theirs to deal with. The track goes up along the planned lines and is color matched to the house. Power, controller and phone 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 you can actually use it that evening.

Commercial installations follow the same steps

A commercial job runs on the same process: consultation, design, install. The difference is usually timing. Most businesses do not want ladders in front of the entrance at lunch, so the work gets timed around business hours.

What to have ready before the consultation

You do not have to do homework, but a few things make the visit better. Think about which parts of the property you use after dark. Think about whether you want December color, nightly light, or both, since that shapes the plan. 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

Expect a few evenings of experimenting. That is part of it, and then almost everybody settles into a routine.

Lighting you have to remember to turn on does not get used as much.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. Otherwise it is not your project.

After the install

After that, you set what you want and it holds. The everyday setting usually ends up plain and warm, with color kept for the days that call for it.
