Permanent Light Installation, Step by Step, From Quote to Switch On|What Goes Into a Permanent Lighting Installation From First Call to First Night

Step one is a free consultation

The first step is a look at the property, not a crew on the roof. Somebody walks the property, 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.

Custom design, not a template

Every house is a little different, which is why one plan does not fit every home. A good design traces the lines the building already has: the roof edge, the peaks, the columns, the entry. On commercial work the same thinking applies to storefronts, entrances and outdoor seating.

What install day looks like

The crew does the whole thing. The track follows the design and is color matched to the house. Power, control box and phone setup are part of the job, not left on your kitchen table in a box. 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. What changes is when the work happens. Install timing gets planned around your hours, since the front of the building has to stay usable.

Come prepared

You do not need to prepare much, but a few things make the visit better. Think about which parts of the property you use after dark. Decide whether the main job is holidays or ordinary evenings, and say so out loud. And look at your own house after dark once, since the gaps only show up after sunset.

What the first month looks like

Expect a few evenings of experimenting. 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 automatic on and off. Lighting you have to remember to turn on gets used less than lighting that turns itself on.There is very little you https://evercrestlighting.com/ have to do on install day. The practical list is short: access to the perimeter, a clear driveway and pets indoors. Beyond that you can go about your day.
