Frequently asked questions

No. That is the point of it — it stays up year round and simply changes what it is doing.

The track is designed to mount into the eave line without compromising it. We survey the roofline before we quote so there are no surprises on the day.

Call us. We installed it, so we come out and fix it — you are not chasing a manufacturer through a call centre.

Most, but not all. Some rooflines and materials need a different approach, which is why the quote starts with someone actually looking at your house.

Both. Warm white along the eaves reads as architectural lighting and genuinely lights the approach to the house; the colour modes are there when you want them.

It is a permanent architectural improvement rather than a seasonal decoration, and it is one of the few upgrades that changes how the house reads from the street after dark.

Yes — colours, brightness, schedules and scenes, from an app on your phone.

Set to warm white it reads as architectural lighting, not decoration. The colour is opt-in, not the default.

The system is fitted to the building, so it stays with the property — it becomes part of what you are selling.

It is LED, so running it is a small fraction of what an equivalent run of traditional bulbs would draw.

Zoning depends on the building, and it is one of the things we work out during the design pass rather than assuming.

We schedule commercial work around your hours. Tell us your quiet window and we will design the install to fit it.

Yes — schedules and scenes can be set ahead so a holiday or an event runs without anyone touching it on the day.

We do. It is a local install by a local crew, so service is a phone call rather than a support ticket.

Yes — you can schedule scenes so the house changes without you touching anything.

The colour range covers traditional reds, greens and warm whites as well as the brighter modern looks.

Turn it off from the app. It is invisible in daylight, so an unlit house simply looks like a house.

Call and ask — the honest answer depends on where the calendar is when you ring, and we would rather tell you straight than promise a date we cannot hold.

Set as architectural lighting rather than floodlighting, it is aimed along the building. Brightness is adjustable, and getting that balance right is part of the design conversation.

Yes — schedules mean it can handle itself without anyone flipping a switch.

It is LED and dimmable, so the everyday warm-white setting is a modest draw compared with traditional exterior lighting.

The design pass covers which runs are worth lighting. Not every roofline benefits from being fully outlined, and we will say so.

Yes — the app works wherever you are, so you can adjust it from another state.

It lights what the track covers, which is usually the rooflines and eaves. Where the dark spots are is part of the design conversation.

Better light generally means more usable footage, particularly in colour, though we would not claim to specify your camera system for you.

It is mains powered, so it is off until the power is back — the same as the rest of the building.

Yes — alternating and patterned colour schemes are part of what the system does.

Schedules handle that, so the house can go team colours at kickoff and back to warm white later without you touching it.

Brightness is adjustable and it is one evening. Most streets find a lit house on game night considerably less objectionable than a floodlight.

No. Changing scenes costs nothing and does not wear anything out.

What is covered depends on your agreement, and we will set that out in writing at quote stage rather than leaving it vague.

It depends on the season — autumn is the busiest window across the Magic Valley. Call and we will give you a real date rather than an optimistic one.

Tell us before the roofer starts. Coordinating beforehand is far easier than repairing a track afterwards.

Yes — both, across the Magic Valley.

That is the design goal, and on most installs the answer is no until you know exactly where to look.

The schedules run on the controller, so the lighting keeps doing what it was told even if your connection drops. You need connectivity to change things from the app.

The LED runs are low voltage, fed from a controller that is powered from the building. Where that controller goes is part of the design.

The systems we fit are built for permanent outdoor use, including snow, ice and the temperature swing the Magic Valley gets.

Usually a day for a typical home. A large or complicated roofline takes longer, and we will say so before we book it.

It depends on your building and what you currently pay, which is exactly why we quote per property rather than publishing a number that would be wrong for most people.

These are commercial-grade LEDs designed for permanent outdoor use. We will give you the specific product and its terms in writing at the quote rather than a vague claim here.

That is a reasonable worry, and it is why the design conversation happens before anyone commits. Warm white on the roofline is a conservative look, not a permanent light show.

Architectural lighting on buildings is not new. What changed is that addressable LEDs made it affordable on a house rather than only on a civic building.

Nothing stops you. Plenty of people run a permanent roofline and still put something in the yard.

They are LED and dimmable, so a run typically draws considerably less than an equivalent length of traditional bulbs.

Warm white on a permanent system reads as classic. If you specifically want the uneven, hand-hung look, string lights do that better.

The permanent system removes the annual trip up a ladder, which is the main risk in seasonal lighting.

No, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling. They differ in profile, control software and warranty structure — which suits you depends on your building.

Sometimes, depending on the product and how it was fitted. Call and describe what you have and we will give you a straight answer.

Yes — control software is one of the more noticeable day-to-day differences, so it is worth seeing one in use before you commit.

Yes. Ask each of them the questions above and compare the answers, not just the numbers.
