The definition nobody gives you The difference between accent lighting and general lighting is the question being asked. It is selective by definition. Point it at a specimen tree, a stone column, a water feature, a front door and stop. The dark part is not a gap in the plan. It is what makes the lit part read.The concept is simple to say and hard to hold to. Choose a small number of things and light nothing else. The pull is always toward adding, and holding it is the enti

The case for handing it off The job seems small in the driveway, then it takes a Saturday. Add the steep pitch, a roof with a real pitch to it, and the fact that December in the Upstate can be wet, and a lot of people decide it is worth hiring out. The parts of the job A proper Christmas light installation is more than a crew showing up with your old strands. It starts with a plan: which lines get lit, what color, how it reads from the street. Then the install, handled by

Why it has to be LED Hardware that stays up year round faces a harder test than hardware that lives in a box eleven months a year. Traditional bulbs are designed to come down. LEDs run cool, draw little power and do not have a filament to break, which is what makes leaving them up a reasonable idea at all.None of this means you need to understand electronics. It is a reason to want a specific answer about the hardware, and to expect a specific answer rather than a brochure

The categories, sorted out "Outdoor lighting" covers a lot of ground. For some it is the house, for others the yard, and for some it is the corner nobody can see. They are different problems, and they get solved differently. Lighting the house Permanent outdoor lighting puts an LED channel along the roof edge, matched to your trim so daylight hides it, and controlled from a phone app. One install takes care of December and the other eleven months.

Why it has to be LED Anything mounted permanently on a roof edge has to survive being there. Traditional bulbs were built around a season, not a decade. The case for LED is heat, power draw and durability, in that order.None of this means you need to understand electronics. But it is worth asking what the channel is, how it mounts and how it is wired, since the detail in the answer says a lot. The people who can walk you through it are usually the ones who install it carefu

A definition worth having The short version: an LED system that lives on the house, left in place, run from an app. Where temporary strands come and go, this lives on the house. Because the channel is color matched, daylight hides most of it. Where it goes on a property Most installs follow the roofline, then add gables, dormers and porch lines where the design calls for it. Businesses use it the same way, along facades and entries, frequently in brand colors. Good design

What permanent outdoor lighting means Permanent outdoor lighting is a fixed LED system mounted along a building's rooflines, eaves and edges and left up all year.
