Permanent Lighting Installation: What Actually Happens on Install Day|What Goes Into a Permanent Lighting Installation

Before any hardware goes up

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.

The design is drawn for your house

Your house has its own lines, so the plan gets drawn for it. The design should read the house, picking up the roofline and the peaks and the porch edge. On commercial work the same thinking applies to facades, entries and patios.

The install itself

Installation is professional, which is a plain way of saying nobody in your family goes up a ladder. The channel follows the design and is color matched to the house. Power, control box and phone setup are part of the job, not left for you to figure out. 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 follows the same order: consultation, design, install. The difference is usually timing. Install timing works around when you are open, since the front of the building has to stay usable.

What to think about before the consultation

You do not need to prepare much, though a couple of answers help. 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

Most people spend the first week trying every color in the app. That is fine and expected, and then a routine sets in. The everyday setting tends to https://evercrestlighting.com/about/ be simple, and the schedule does the work.The other thing worth setting up early is the automatic on and off. A system that comes on and goes off without anybody thinking about it 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 the day belongs to the installers.

Once it is running

After that, you pick your everyday setting and forget about it. The everyday setting is usually a simple warm white, with color kept for the days that call for it.
