Event lighting is a different product entirely The distinction matters: one is installed, the other is set up. Weddings, receptions, celebrations: set up for the date and removed after. That changes everything about how it gets planned, starting with the fact that there is no second chance at it.Which changes how the whole thing has to be handled. An installation is judged over years. An event is judged once, in one evening. So the planning happens early, the contingencies

Step one is a free consultation Nothing gets mounted until the design is settled. Somebody walks the property, asks how you use the outside of your home, and figures out which lines are worth lighting. It costs nothing, and you are not signing anything to have it. The design comes before the price Every house is a little different, which is why one plan does not fit every home. The design should work with the house, picking up the roofline and the peaks and the porch edge.

What is driving the interest Around Greenville, the December rooflines have been changing, and they are not coming down afterward. What you are looking at is a permanent LED system, put up once and left up. Not a December purchase Christmas is the trigger for most calls. What makes it worth the money is the ordinary nights. A warm white line along the roof makes the house easy to see from the road, which matters on a long driveway or a dark street. Then there are game days

Most of the decision happens before the quote Outdoor lighting gets quoted fast and understood slowly. A package price and a plan drawn for your house can land within a few hundred dollars of each other, and look nothing alike at night. Start with the design The first question is simple: what does the plan for my house look like? A company that designs for the property will be able to tell you why the light goes where it goes. A company that will not is selling you the sam

First, the words The roof edge comes with vocabulary, and knowing them helps you read a quote. Fascia: the vertical face. Soffit: the underside. Eave: the whole projecting edge.You will not need this vocabulary often, but it appears in every estimate, and it is easier to compare two quotes when both are describing the same part of the building. When somebody says the run follows the fascia, you know exactly what they mean. The reason for that spot Permanent lighting runs a

Before any hardware goes up Nothing gets installed until the design is settled. Somebody walks the property, asks how you use the outside of your home, and figures out which lines are worth lighting. The consultation is free and there is no obligation attached to it. Custom design, not a template Your house is not the same shape as the one down the street, so the plan gets drawn for it. A good design traces the lines the building already has: the main roofline, the gables,

The default answer, and its problem Almost everybody starts with a floodlight. The instinct is understandable and mostly wrong. A single harsh source carves the yard into a bright patch and a black rim, and the shadows it makes are darker than the darkness it replaced.Put all of that together and the picture is not what most people install. Lower output, more locations, better placement: that is the whole approach. It costs no more than the floodlight approach in most cases
