Step 5: Installation Day – Bringing Your Vision To Life

Installation day is when your vision becomes a reality. Our experienced team will arrive at your home to install the lighting system. Here’s what you need to know to prepare for installation:

Installation Day Checklist:

  • Driveway and Garage Access: Ensure the driveway is clear and the garage is easily accessible for our team.
  • Wi-Fi and Power Source: The lighting control panel needs a strong Wi-Fi connection and a dedicated outlet. Our team may also need access to the attic to run the necessary wiring.
  • Your Presence: While you don’t need to supervise the entire installation, either you or a representative must be available to finalize the control panel setup and app connection.

Installation Process:

  • Duration: Depending on the size and complexity of your home, installation typically takes between half a day and two days.
  • Lighting Control Setup: At the end of the installation, our team will help you connect your phone to the lighting system. You’ll learn how to use the app to control your lights, create custom light patterns, animations, and more.

Our goal is to ensure you’re fully comfortable using your new lighting system before we leave.
